So, I’m sitting in a meeting today, when one of my co-workers says “I come in early everyday and people bother me because they can’t find any other supervisors to help them. I tell them, “I can’t help you because I’m not here yet; you are going to have to find someone else.” Then they say they can’t find anyone else and I end up not getting my work done, because I end up helping them.”
My response was “I feel your pain, for the past two weeks I have basically worked open to close when I get off work at 5, but I can tell you that I end up taking sup calls, helping with errors and dealing with issues from 5-9 because they can’t find anyone either. I am not staying to do this crap, I’m staying to get my work done because I can’t seem to get it done during the day, and because the reps KNOW they can come to me. The problem is, until ALL OF US IN THIS ROOM decide we are going to work as a team, then this situation is never going to change. The reps will continually come to me or Suzie or Johnny or whoever, because they know they can, because we will take care of the issue for them. The only way to be able to come in on our own time and get stuff done without being interrupted is for us to work as a team.”
Well, apparently I offended some people. I can’t imagine that stating a fucking fact of how it works on the floor is offensive to some people. I have been told that I shouldn’t speak my mind. Well, damn it; this has been an ongoing issue since I hit the floor a year ago. No one is doing anything about it. You take it to management and they give you a shitload of lip-service about how “well, we are working on it, we know it’s an issue” but no one is doing anything about it. So, I say something and now I have been banned from speaking? Fuck that.
