| 12.02.06 (10:19 am) [edit] |
| My work situation is totally bringing out my passive-aggressive side. Friday: In the office by 8:30a.m. We have a weekly company meeting at 12pm - 1pm, and I had to get some proposals out afterwards, so I didn't get an opportunity to leave for my lunch. (Note, Boss came in around 9:30a.m. and mentioned he was leaving early because he had a 'gig' that evening. He left at 4pm.) I got my work wrapped up and saw the traffic reports were bad - I was volunteering at the fish tank for a special corporate event, so I left a little after 4:45... As I'm walking out the door, the HR chick asks if I cleared it with my boss. I said "I have worked more than 50 hours this week and haven't even taken lunch today." She replied "If you choose not to take lunch, that doesn't count toward your time you work here. If you're leaving early, you have to get it cleared by the President or your manager." We are talking about me leaving less than 15 minutes early than the close of business... (I hear these same people making commentaries about my 'hours' every day standing around in their offices and the break room talking about gossip and crap for at least an hour a day.) I have a feeling that this is going to come to a serious head on Monday. I'm tired of this double-talk bullshit of "we don't clockwatch" but "you left at 4:47 on Friday". I'm hired to produce, which I do, I could sit at my desk from 8-5, take an hour lunch and stare at the computer screen all day... I keep coming up with different ideas for bringing in revenue, increasing our product knowledge as a team. At this point, I really could give a crap if they fired my ass. However... once I got to the fish tank last night, it was like a totally different world. So relaxing to hang with the animals and talk to people about the critters... It was like exhaling. |
