Hello!! *waves frantically*
« on: December 03, 2018, 10:33:17 pm »
So I feel super bad for not being here the last couple of months but ugh, the new job blocks the Compendium (assholes!) and it killed my Compendium routine. Lol So I’m here at home on my iPad and I’m going to work on doing this a couple times a week.

So the last 2 months have been... eventful. 3 weeks after starting my new job I needed surgery. I swear, never a dull moment with me. Lol Well I had the surgery and it went well and I was back at work. I missed about 2.5 weeks total so I was happy to have a job to go back to. That is, until I returned...

So the kind of surgery I had was...sensitive in nature. Well almost as soon as I got back, they started giving me a problem because I’m going to the bathroom more than the 30 minutes for break that I’m allotted. Most days I don’t even take a break, I use that time to go to the bathroom and they are still giving me a hard time about it. So I called my doctor’s office today and they have a doctor’s not waiting for me. However when I talked to my agency yesterday I was told they do not have to accommodate me even with a doctor’s note. The whole situation is bull. So needless to say I’m not happy at my job and I’m looking for another one because this is ridiculous.

So things have been a little rough but I know it will get better. It’s just been rough because I didn’t work for basically 3 weeks and it’s hurting us so much financially. I know it will get better but right now I’m just like, “Grrrrrr!”

Anyway I just wanted to say hi and let you know where I’ve been. I’m going to make sure to check in a couple times a week, I’ve really missed this place! I hope everyone is having a nice holiday season!

Not accommodating bathroom needs AND blocking the Compendium? How terrible!

Hang in there, Nadia! We're rooting for you!

The main thing is that you're healthy and well. That is paramount (and the Compendium is only a close second). Bahaha!

I’m definitely trying. It gets frustrating though, sometimes I feel like I have to work twice as hard as everyone else. I’m sure that’s not entirely true, but it feels that way sometimes!!

I’ve really missed being here. After I had my surgery I slept a lot, which is why I wasn’t here then. Lol

I’m actually debating going back to my old job and taking a second job. That would be better than the BS I’m having to deal with right now. They write me up every time I go past 30 minutes for break/bathroom so I feel like I’m lucky if I’ll still have a job by my birthday (which is next Wednesday already! :o ) So we’ll see. Thank you all for always being supportive!!

Yeah it really is. I brought a doctor’s note today and they still won’t allow me more than the 30 minutes. It’s absurd!! However I may have a new job on Monday at my husband’s shop. It would be stuff like sanding and hole punching. I haven’t worked a labor job in a long time but maybe it’s the change I need. I would be making at least as much as I’m making now, maybe more. I’m talking to his boss on Saturday at the company holiday party. Ha ha! I’ve been saying lately I wouldn’t mind getting away from customer service so maybe right now this will be good for me. Plus I wouldn’t be eating at a desk anymore so maybe I’d lose weight too! I’ll keep you guys posted!

Be careful you don't hurt your hand!

Best of luck to you.

No worries, my fingers wouldn’t be anywhere where the holes are actually punched. I’ve seen the machine that does that, it’s all computerized. I have to admit, I’m excited about doing something that’s not people bitching at me all day and I can work overtime if I want too! I’m really feeling like this will be a good move for me.

Customer service is a tough job.  I'm not sure there's another job out there that completely shatters all faith in humanity. haha

Glad to hear from you, and hope things start to look up!

Ha ha, that first one went over my head! Silly me! But no, no fists required. Ha ha!

So today I did something I’ve never done. I quit my job without having another one lined up. Now I do have my “interview” tomorrow and I know lots of places I can apply if that doesn’t pan out. I just couldn’t deal with how I was being treated. Not only did I quit today, but I sent an email before I left. I’ve never done that before either. I did ask my husband if it was ok and in his words he told me to “tell them to fuck off.” Well I did, but in a professional manner. I’d never been treated so poorly at a workplace before and that’s saying a lot. Here’s to hoping the next place is better!!

Glad to see you back. Happy belated btw!
I'm telling you if they gave me THAT much hassle for leaving my desk for more than 30 minutes I would relieve myself in their chairs, see how they like it. :lol: I'm just a little sadistic sometimes...

Compendium blocked? Savages!

Clearly not  aplace you want to be.

My time at that job has to have been one of the most stressful times of my life. I’ve never been treated so horribly at a workplace before. I’m still not working but I’m putting applications out. I’m having to apply at some places that I really don’t want to work, but I can always work at said places until I find something better.

Right now if just a frustrating time. Ugh. I know it will get better though!
