| | Not that anyone I know even reads this. Oh well. I guess I'll update on the latest thing that happened. Or I may delete this journal later on, I don't know yet.
I made an arrangement with my manager and another coworker that I would not work Saturday, I would work on Sunday because they had me scheduled me too many hours. Well Billie, the marketing manager, called me, *twenty minutes* after my supposed scheduled shift and said, "You're scheduled to work today,". I called her back and told her that I had made an arrangement with Mike (my manager) and another coworker, blah blah blah.
She started yelling at me. Told me if I didn't make it in tonight, I was fired. We got into a huge argument, I told her I couldn't because I had no one to watch my daughter. She told me it was my responsibility to check my schedule. I told her I DID, that's why I made that arrangement and I would try but I did not think I could make it in. She threatened to fire me, because I was "calling in". I then informed her I'm NOT calling in, I thought the arrangement was a go so technically, NO, I'm not calling in.
The phone conversation ended with me bawling (I was crying, I was that pissed off.) About two seconds before I was going to pick up the phone to call her back and tell her I quit, she called me back, said "she thought about what I said" and ended up Donna was coming in to work for me but I had to come work for her tommorrow. I told her "that's what I was going to do *anyway*". She apologized, but I told her "thank you, but right now I'm not ready to accept it." And I'm not. I DO NOT appreciate being yelled at and threatened by someone who is supposed to be a professional. I may just be a peon, and she may think she's big shit because she's the new marketing manager, but I am still a human being and I would NEVER talk to anyone the way she talked to me today. She needs to learn that just because she's a big cheese, she still needs to show decorum and respect for the people under her.
She told me that my scheduled time was 2-10 for Sunday. She said, "I have the schedule right in front of me." Well, my manager (Mike) calls around noon on Sunday and tells my boyfriend that I'm supposed to be in at 11. 11-7. So basically, she deliberately lied to me. I walked in to work, and I asked Mike if I was in danger of being fired. He said, "No, but I am going to write you up."
I thought about it all of 2 seconds before I said, "You know, I'll just save you the trouble. I quit. Goodbye." And I caught my boyfriend before he was able to leave me behind. Why should I be wrote up when the market manager who "had the schedule in front of her" told me the wrong time on purpose, probably intending that I get wrote up!
If I'm working for someone that petty and immature, I seriously don't have to put up with it. I don't have to work. I have a chronic mental illness. I am on disability. I work part time sometimes to make a little extra money and to help out the company I'm working for. I am a loyal and trustworthy and hardworking person. I will not work for a company that hires people that deliberately lie to their employees to get them in trouble. I don't think she thought I'd quit, well she had another thing coming. You can't fire someone if they quit.
Good luck finding someone as good at the job as I was, willing to work all weekends. I prefer weekend work because most of the time I don't have my daughter on weekends. So really, its their loss, not mine.
I'm calling corporate today and I'm talking to HER boss to register a formal complaint. You can do it anonymously, but I'm NOT going to do it that way. I'm giving my name, and telling whoever it is that I WANT her to know it's me registering the complaint. I'm also letting her boss know that I'm going to him/her because at this time, I don't feel safe talking to her about it. Plus she deserves it. I do not want her to do this to someone who actually needs their job. I'm also letting her boss know that I do have a chronic mental illness, furthermore Billie KNOWS I have a chronic mental illness and you do not yell at and threaten someone who is in a precarious mental state, especially if you have full knowledge of that fact. She ASKED me before I was hired exactly what my disability was, and I'm pretty sure that's against the law. I told her because I thought I could trust her. Guess not.
