I can't even believe it.. today I got in trouble for doing nothing wrong. The truth is... I simply am not the most important player so I am going to have to take the fall. I don't know how I feel about it.. on the one hand, I completely expect it and I just don't care. On the other what is the point of working hard to do things right if things can just be laid at your feet because your the low person on the totem pole.

My boss sent me something, I defended myself (my boss is in trouble too) and he said, I agree but "shite rolles downhill" -- can take that any other way than I am at the bottom of the hill so I am getting it. Makes me annoyed and questioning if I can do this for another 10 years.

Yeah. It drives me crazy whenever someone gives me project now. Especially, when it is from him or whenever he is around me supervising my work. Meanwhile, some of my coworkers (from different positions and/or division) take smoke break freely, leave, or watch youtube without any supervision. I know it's not utterly their fault, since they have lighter job description and different responsibility. But I still feel this is unfair.

[QUOTE=rechu;6605573]I sent her a message just to confirm I was doing something correctly, since it's been a while since I had to deal with a situation like that. Better to confirm, right? She bit my head off and treated me like I was stupid just for asking when the editor wasn't sure either.

Agree. She might think you're not smart, but it's actually much safer. I believe this is the type of boss who will blame anyone when something gone wrong. She can't blame you forever, since you have that confirmation as evidence.

Well I have to take this back. My boss sent me a later e-mail stressing that the shite rolls down hill for both of us. So guess he is trying.

Work wasn’t bad today. I was in a mood but it was because I’ve been feeling pretty sick lately. But no one gave me a hard time or anything. The only annoying part of today was my coworker left a big box of garbage by me all day and at one point I just kinda shoved it towards her since she kept pushing it at me. Why she didn’t take it out, I don’t know. I know other coworkers were also getting annoyed with it though.

Bad day at work. Same reason, they want to be prioritized.

First, this girl. I was working in an urgent project. My client (my coworker from another department) sat on my side to instruct me the changes. It was urgent, but minor one. This girl saw my situation, but she told me to send her a work file. I told her that I'd respond her after I'm done with this minor project, but she insisted again and again until the other coworker ordered her to stop.

The last one was this supervisor. Similar situation, except both project were not urgent. He know that I have many projects. I told him that I'd do his new project later and he repeatedly insited me again and again to listen to him and his project. I was fed up so I accidentally snapped back at him. He replied with nasty comment, saying that he only just saying and didn't care if I do the project later (excuse me?).

Oh, when will this stop?

Today sucked and among other things I was getting zero help with the garbage once again. And a coworker working in the back was being rude and obnoxious every-time I brought it back. Towards the end of my shift the garbage was piled really high and I think the coworker I was working all day with expected me to take it back once again but I just said goodbye to my supervisor and left her to take it back herself. It was quite satisfying to give zero ****s as I left today.

Ugh.. today is Monday. Everyone hates Monday.

Aside of the crazy job, the coworker I'm troubled with finally come to work after her 3-months maternity leave. It was less chaos without her around. Now she's back and I have to prepare for the drama she'll make.

Meanwhile, one of my coworkers (who I have good term with) in my division will take maternity leave soon, so we must cover her. Going to miss her.

Yeah, Turtle Rider, for me the worst sound of the week is the Monday morning alarm.

I saw a job advertised at at winery near my house doing tours and relations with visitors that requires Portugues and English language skills, which I have. I was excited for a bit until I saw the salary/conditions. You'd get paid by they day worked with no benefits. Take home pay would be less than I make now and I'd have to pay health insurance and retirement contributions out of that. So, financially it wouldn't work.

Work was difficult today. Probably the Monday blues. The weather was real crappy by me. As usual the garbage was an issue. I think though this coworker maybe isn’t able to take out the garbage because she has something physical going on. I don’t know though. I’m hoping my vacation will help me chill out at work.

3rd day In a row where work was tough. Most people were really nice and sympathetic though. Today was tough solely on how I was feeling physically and mentally. The funny thing is even though the day was bad it went by really fast. If this weeks schedule is correct and hasn’t been altered I won’t have to work with that supervisor until late next week.

We have these cash awards at work and they had the ceremony this week. Typically I don't go because every year the awards are given out to the people that... to me, do nothing, but I went and shock of shock... the awards were given out to the people who didn't deserve them.

On the one hand... we have a structure at work that is the top people, the middle people, and the bottom people. I am in the middle. Because I have the opportunity to interact with the top people basically I have some perks that the bottom people will never see.

So I can see that the bottom people should get to have special treats for them too. However, it just really bothers me. As the middle men we rely on the bottom people to do their work right. But they don't. And the top people are constantly annoyed with the bottom people and we have to clean up after them. Because the bottom people don't get paid much no one will say anything and then they get awards?

Grrr.. next year.. not going.

Ugh. More coworkers resigned: My manager and a coworker I'm friended with (from another division). This means that I also have to cover my manager. I don't have many friends at work especially after one's drama, so it'll be more miserable without her around. H

Meanwhile, my boss wants me to improve my skills in video editing and 3D field. Seems nice isn't it, to know your boss want you to be better? Yes, until you learn that they did so becuse hiring outsource editor costs 3-4 times your salary. They want you to be better so they can pay you as low as possible.

I honestly have these skills, though I admit I'm still a beginner. But I pretended that I can't because they don't pay me to be an editor. I'm still going to learn and improving my skills, but I refuse to use it here unless they give me more proper pay.

I'm going to send my application tomorrow. Hope I can get a new job.

It definitely sounds like they are looking for a way to make you do more work for the same pay and not hire someone else! Good luck with the job search, it sounds like you need to get out of there.

I came back from vacation and people were kinda crabby and everything was a mess and I asked my coworker why everyone was crabby and she said they had been like that for a couple of days. But then people calmed down and the day turned out fine. What’s annoying me though is a coworker has been out for 2 weeks supposedly for a close family’s death. She still hasn’t returned yet. She’s not returning calls or anything. She did text me on Sunday and ask if we got paid time and half on Monday. I asked the coworker I was working with today if she had heard from this other coworker and she said no. I told her she had contacted me about time and a half. I don’t care if I threw her under the bus she’s abandoning her job and not being honest with management. She’s posting all sorts of stuff on Facebook that makes it seems like she very well can be at work.

Despite not feeling good due to my sleep disorder work itself was not bad today. Although I don’t remember a lot of what went on. I did almost leave around 9:15 but I was able to work through my exhaustion. I didn’t say much of anything to anyone but they knew I wasn’t feeling good since one of the few things I did say was “does anyone have any tums?” But I mean at least I stayed my entire shift today.

Today I had to watch one of my coworkers floss his teeth at the table in the lunchroom. He was sitting right across from me. Gross.

Not much to gripe about today. Due to taking a few vacation days earlier this week I was scheduled today. All my regular coworkers were off so I was working with a few people I’ve never worked with before who just work weekends. I am very flexible and can work with anyone so I didn’t have any issue or anxiety. I actually really enjoyed the lady I was directly working with. Today was pretty good and my manager was happy with me.

back from vacation. loved vacation...was not excited to return to work, but have to pay those bills. (acadia is an awesome place to visit...if you ever have the chance to visit the national park...go! you will not be disappointed). this begins a stretch of long hours of work, dr appointments, and therapy dog visits.... it's not that work is difficult but it sure was nice to be away and visiting the oceanfront and enjoying lobster....now I guess I need to work on next year's vacation...it isn't much time away but it makes all the difference.

I'm a little anxious about tomorrow, because my difficult coworker will be back. She had surgery and has been out for a month. It was peaceful with her gone. I've been covering her work while she's out, and I'm nervous that she'll be upset at how I did it.

I’m pretty sure my severe fatigue was noticeable today. Besides my excessive yawning I think people could just tell in general how tired and out of it I was. People were really nice though.
