Being edged towards the door at my job...

Finally had my chance to vent today. Met with my boss, sup, Quality Monitor and Hr. They started on me stating that they had concerns about the way I was doing things and my quality and level of service was disappointing and needed immediately change.

To which I pulled the Ace in my email sleeve. I slapped down 2 emails one dated 4-30 one dated 4-29 indicating that I was doing a fantastic job and that if there was any problem with me in the department it would have most certainly been addressed by then.

The phrase "wind outta your sails" is something I'd always used, but I'd never actually seen two people deflate, literally blowing air between their lips and sinking down in their chairs. For the first time since this bullshit began I had them over a barrel and I smelled blood. Something inside me said, "DO IT, GET 'EM!

I let them have it to, caring not a dick about what they could do to me. I'd pointed out that there was no issue until I caused a ruckus and accused the Quality Assurance person of having a personal stake against me (she's the sister in-law of a woman who works with my wife and they don't get along)

I said you cannot and will not bring me into a meeting and have manufactured reasons why I suck if i have written proof from you pointing out the opposite. When I finished, my boss said some bs HR lingo like "We've gotten the dirty laundry out to dry" and "Let's move on."

My sup actually came to me afterwards clapped me on the shoulder and said. "Well done."

I'm high as a kite now. I'm married, I never win arguments. I opened up with both barrels and nuked these bitches.

BRAVO! :techman:

Oh, and it's "Let the wind out of their sails", but either way it's great that you had the written proof.
 
So, I'm kind of the "advocate" of the department, because I work with a bunch of people absolutely terrified of losing their jobs. Management knows this. I had a meeting with the director last month and she indicated how people are working so much hard and there is no sign of any trouble because of the economy.

Well since then, there have been constant demands for OT, and outrageous changes to the way we do our business. Everyone in the department is upset, but they are as stated above, spineless. So I’ve stepped up and during meetings have questioned the reasoning behind the changes and expressed my dismay, while not speaking for the department as whole.

Now I'm being viewed as a rabble rouser and the lone troublemaker trying to stir the pot. I've received half a dozen little nitpicky emails about some mundane thing or another. Basically "we're putting the cover pages on the TPS reports" kind of crap. But it's building and the management team is becoming outright cold around me. Used to be, they would at least make the attempt at casual conversation, now they appear to avoid me. Yesterday morning I realized I had left my security badge on my desk and called a manager to let me in. I thanked him, and he GRUNTED and walked away.

So the writings on the wall, I've got my ass in their sites for being an apparent trouble maker and pack leader. I've been working OT, being very deliberate and cautious and covering every possible angle and filing hardcopies of all emails and my responses.

HR in this company consists of one person, who is related to my boss, so I doubt I'll get much movement on that angle.

Any ideas? Right now the plan is simple, soon as I'm back from vacation in July, I’m getting the F outta here. But then they win, don't they?


Honestly, who gives a shit what other people think of you? I was in the exact same position at my job and I didn't give a rat's ass about what they thought of me, and they did think of me as a troublemaker, but when I see things I don't agree with, hell yeah, I'm gonna open my big mouth about it because other people feel the same way yet don't have the balls to say anything.

I am just more of an 'I don't give a shit, you can bite me' type of person so I am not saying that my way of life is for everyone but more people should care less about what others think of them. If someone thinks I'm a bitch, I will smile and say thank you.
 
Have you considered poison gas? The TOS character in me needs to know.

Barring that, JOIN A FUCKING UNION.

Preferably an evil one, but it's up to you :shifty:
