Sometimes I love my job and other times I just HATE working. Not my boss, though there are days he drives me crazy, I think a lot of him and we get along nicely most of the time. Today though, my gripe is not with him, but one of my coworkers. More than most anything, I can't stand a person who is fake to me. I like consistency in behavior and value trust in my relationships. Therefore, I expect that when a person has a problem with me, they will come to me, but evidently that is too much to expect around here.
Pat is the best one to work for in the office and many times I feel like someone might be trying to pull a fast one on me. So anyway, coworker decided to talk to my boss about two issues she had with me. Ready for the earth-shattering, terrible things I've done that would warrant going over my head to my boss.....well, here you go:
1) I used five dishes yesterday and didn't wash them. (DEFENSE #1 - they did them for me before I ever had the opportunity! and DEFENSE #2 - I NEVER use dishes, yesterday was just a very unusual day, the first in MONTHS.)
2) I don't say hello when I come in first thing in the morning. Yes, this is a major deal, huh? If you don't know I am here, buzz my office. Big deal. Serious inconvenience.
Anyway, just ticks me off that she couldn't come to me about these two very minor issues. I have no problem rectifying both problems, but I feel like she was deliberately trying to make me look bad to my boss. He talked to me about it, and I expressed this concern to him, and he was great about it, so why do I feel so violated?
Some days I can't wait not to work full-time.
