The Good The Bad and The Ugly
I havent been here in a while but I must say it has been mostly downhill for me.
I have recently been a little annoyed about my job and the people I work with. Although I am thankful I have this job and thankful I am able to pay for everything I owe, I cant stand that I sometimes feel like Im punching a gifted horse in the mouth.
I have a co-worker named German who is my asst Supervisor and I cant stand him! We used to be cool and then he just stopped talking to me and now he acts like an asshole! He talks down to me alot and makes me feel like I dont meet any of his standards as a person and is just flat out rude! He is on this high horse all the time just looking down on people. Thats exactly how to describe it. He is so full of himself that no one else can compare to how good he is.
So one day, he just spoke to me in a way that just broke the camels back. I told him if I could have a word with him and I spoke to him and said, "You know, I could go to my Supervisor and have this talk between all three of us but I have more integrity than that. You need to stop being so aggressive and demeaning in the work place. I dont want to have this kind of relationship with you and would appreciate it if you could work on how you speak to people." He said, "Yea I have a problem that I am working on and I give people the impression that I am talking down to them and I dont mean to be that way, I apologize."
After I said that, I felt a big gush of relief. I see he has gotten better but now I am also getting it from my boss. I spoke to my boss about this before as well where he was not being so nice in assisting me in my work and I pulled him aside and asked if there was something I was doing that he didnt like. He said no he is just upset with some upper management people and that he is sorry for taking it out on me. I said ok. Then today, a question came up and I asked him for assistance. He tells me in a "you didnt know?" voice and it made me upset because the question was about something that was inforced today! There wasnt even an email sent about the change of things until 1pm and I got to work at 8am. So I wanted to just burst and say, "OF COURSE I DIDNT KNOW THIS NEW RULE. I JUST CAME IN AND WAS ASKED BY A CALLER ABOUT THIS. SO DONT TALK TO ME LIKE AS IF I KNEW THIS WHOLE TIME WHEN WE JUST INFORCED IT TODAY YOU DICK!"
Pheeeeeewwww...
Alot of change has been going on in this department. I was happy when I started and now Im just getting this trashy treatment and Im assessing myself wondering what the hell has changed in me. Im looking within to pull ANYTHING out that might trigger this kind of treatment and I cant find one reason why I would get treated this way. Some of my other co-workers get the same treatment. And the people who do are like me: hardworking and determined.
Have I stumbled across something bigger than me???????
