See the thought for the day thread... I've done all the work I missed already... figured I'd be lucky to still have a job by 5pm... Didn't have to wait that long.
Was just berated for "talking gobbledegook" at the boss and blinding him with science. Apparently the word "hysterectomy" is not part of his vocabulary.
And I've been told that "IF" I have this operation, he will be forced to close the company down.
Aye, right. Like THAT'S going to happen. If I knew he was telling the truth, I'd happily hold on and take my redundancy pay-out... Trouble is, I'm pretty certain he's lying and he just wants to act out his spoiled little boy scenario about how he can't possibly cope with me "letting him down" all the time and continue to make my existence in this office as miserable as possible.
Aye... I begged the gynae to rip out me innards in a few months' time and put me out of action for 6 weeks purely to spite the boss... ye gads! It's a boss-centric Unipurse I'm living in alright!
Wouldn't interest me in the slightest... the field's way too narrow, everybody knows everybody else's business in the trade and he wouldn't be shy to stoop to very low depths indeed to trash my reputation... whilst most would ignore, there would be enough living by the "where there's smoke, there's fire" standards to make it a really hard environment for me to have any degree of success in.
Great point TC - I feel all warm and fuzzy inside at how valued I am ... oh no... hang on... it's another hairball!
Yeah well... Karma's a bigger n badder bitch than I'll ever be... he'll get his...
I just gotta hang in there and clamp down on the desire to stomp out, telling him to poke his job... I'm sure it's not his intention to actually get shot of me, as that would involve payouts, but just in case he does go that route, I don't want to make his day by spitting the dummy and saving him a few thou!
Meanwhile, I'd better start looking for an alternative employer anyway... one who's quite amenable to me taking 6 weeks off sick within the next couple of months! *ahem*
I feckin' hate this office.
Bookkeeper's just decided that I won't need anything like 6 weeks off. Oh right, so you're a Dr now, are you? Resident expert on hysterectomies?
What's it like to work with human beings who ask how you are, instead of ignoring the fact you've just spent 2 weeks recovering from surgery?
I'm sick to death of the "threat" of job loss hanging over my head so I've just told the boss to do what he wants. Either sack me and be done with it or STFU.
Grrrrr Fekkin hell WB !! wot is it wiv these ppl???
I had to convince the Dr i was well enuff to return, even tho he wanted me to have more time off... but i was threatend wiv dismissal, so had no choice.
You bend over backkards for these planks, to be treated like crap.
Have a hug from me..and good for u, tellin them like it is !
You kno the place aint gonna run anyfin like it shud do if he lets u go.. his loss eh?
tc x
Sounds great in writing... the reality though was that I was standing there, trembling voice followed by tears streaming down my face, feeling feckin' sorry for myself again!
He doesn't need an office - were it my company, I'd have closed the office ages ago and run it single-handed from a laptop.
I'm just so tired of being bullied and threatened that I'm going to lose my job. I really don't need that on top of everything else. Just be straight. Get shot of me if you want, but stop all this messing around, threatening and bullying behaviour.
Take it thats why your still on here WB n not snuggled up in bed, ready for the joys of work tomorrow....*sighs*...would soooo love to be a witness to whatever fate awaits your boss, when Karma comes to visit him...
