cat amongst pigeons
well today was interesting…
First work denied me the visa letter. The only time I have ever asked for anything, and they wont do it. I understand their position “wed be lying to immigration” (well only us embassy really but thats what the guy in HR said to me).
The to top it off I NoSlammed my boss. A policy has come down from on high from the board, all employees must do a days work in a store. It has been that every year, but never enforced (So nobody did it), this year.. you guessed it, its enforced.
Its a great way to not have to pay temps and get all our hundereds of head office employees into a stores for a day…
Well, I plain out said “I’m not doing it” boy did that go down well.. They didnt know what to say, its assumed everyone will do it. Fuck That. I’m not a store worker. I’m not going to sticker product for a whoe fucking day. If I wanted to work in a store I would have applied.
My boss tried to fob me off with shit about how good it will be to know what goes on in a store, and how you get to see it from the other side, etc. Well excuse me for not wanting to be bored out of my mind for an entire day.
Whats my role in the store? it will be either, stacking boxes onto shelves in stock room. putting ‘hmv’ stickers on cds or putting cds into racks on the floor.
nobody else in the department wants to do it wither, but nobody will speak up.
so now there is a bruhaha boiling… They wouldnt take my NO and said ‘think about it on the weekend and we will talk about it on Monday’. Hmm I think my answer will still be NO!
All the small things at work are adding up and I’m just getting fed up…
I cant believe they were shocked when I said no, and they said “Uh, we will have to start a process, uh I dont know where to go from here…”
I told them Id tell the CEO in person as I dont care.
The worse thing is, they asked for my reasoning, and I couldnt come up with one beyond just saying “I dont want to”. I feel like work is using me.
I cant write anymore, i’m getting aggro with work!
