Hi I'm new here and right now I need some serious support/advice...I have a serious job delimma. The other day I asked a coworker to help me answer the office phone. I was working on data entry and she was working on her computer, however I had already answered several calls and I asked her to help. She yelled at me for asking then told me to shut up talking to her. I told her that was ignorant of her, the next person in charge came into the office and also said that we should take turns answering the phones. The angry co worker got mad and left for the day. However to cut to the chase, the supervisor has now put me in a different office which is fine with me but she wants to change my schedule to eveings, which means I cant care for my elderly mother on Thursday afternoons. I told her since I'm in a different office my hours shouldn't have to change. She said either work later hours or quit. I've been at this job for 13 years and never had any problems until now. HELP! I am waiting to hear from her boss at this moment.
Any advice PLEASE.
Any advice PLEASE.
I am so sorry for your mothers afflictions.
It appears that your supervisor is insensitive and perhaps this person is simply unaware of how much care your mother needs, or how important it is for you to keep your current work schedule. I hope that you consider associating with this person for the purpose of brainstorming those helpful ideas to your dilemma. Please ask for a sit-down conversation with your supervisor and be sure to carefully ponder the problem before hand, take notes of insightful ideas in with you to help this person better understand your needs.
You have every right to expect your supervisor to consider your struggles. So inform your employer or supervisor that you do welcome ideas or suggestions that may help as you are attempting to care for your elderly mother and hope to maintain the same office work schedule.
