Damed if you do damed if you don't

Post by JMalecha » Thu Mar 24, 2011 11:10 am

Okay, I just have this overwhelming feeling of it makes no difference what I do it is going to be wrong. A customer comes in to work for one tiny little part, I do the order anyway because they are so up in arms about cycle count and inventory. So, then they make fun of me for entering a less than $5 order. I mean if I hadn't done it they would be all over me for screwing up inventory. I just feel like the world is not fair and everyone is against me. I get a verbal warning for telling a coworker who was up in my face to F off and yet my manager sits in an open lunch/converence room spouting her racist views and using the N word and nobody bats an eye! Where is the justice in the world? Why do I get all the crap when all I do is try to do good.

Hi JM, It is NOT You, there are many times when things become sour. Follow the truth and the directions. Ask twice if needed to validate the correct way. For what it's worth I think Bike shops have a abundance of BIGHEAD EGOS. Not all are, just way to many. Learn everything you can at their exspence while learning the difference between positive and negative personalitys and actions. Improve your talants and be responsible to your duties and maybe update the resume so to cultivate a more professional employer.
May want to not use the F word. Stand your ground and make a written complaint of the actions. Bigger or badder is not allways better.

Hang in there.

Have you ever thought about having a private conversation with your boss about the way he/she talks and how it makes you feel. My nephew has Downs Syndrome and I know it bothers me when people have jokes about "quote"'quote" retards. I found that if I expressed how things like that bother me, sometimes the person gets a better view of me. Sometimes not. You just have to try. I learned from my counselor to come at the conversation in a positive way. Like: Would you be willing to help me with a situation? I have friends who are black/african american and it really bothers me when words around the work place come out against them. I would like to try making this workplace more positive and I think you could help with that.
This might be a way to get your boss to think as if he/she is helping with something instead of having someone say. Your talk bothers me and your racist. It's worth a try, but if it doesn't work, maybe it is time to look for a different position at another place.
