Pot kettle Black

Unfortunately of late we've suffered from an outbreak of selfishness among our crew. My fellow co. workers "idiots?" have forgotten they're employed to do a job of work, and each of them in turn in one way or another over the last month or so have decided that they can do just as they please. If they want a holiday they've taken one with not much notice and absolutely no consideration for others. If they've got a problem some how it's become my problem.And to be perfectly honest I've had enough.
Today an "idiot?" took the biscuit. A measure was organised for 10.30 "you'll have to change that" he said I've got a rep. coming at 10.00. I moaned a bit about customers being the most important thing and reps. well they don't matter. But I phoned and changed the appointment anyway. The next measure was booked for 11.30 "you'll have to change that" the "idiot?" said again "I've got a bad back again. And I'm going away for the week end and the only appointment I can get for treatment is 12.30." I was not happy to say the least. For the last few weeks this "idiot?" has been telling me that our other fellow co. workers need to toe the line and realise which side their bread is buttered etc. etc. etc. How we can't organise the work around their needs they need to fit around the work. And he's got the audacity to make the whole day fit around his needs!

Nick,

Who is the boss? Are these employees in charge or is it someone else ???

In my last job I started the same day as another worker, we became very friendly and used to go to lunch and went out a few times...

She was offered the job of Supervisor, our Manager of Department had a talk with her explaining that as she was now part of the management she should no longer fraternise with the ordinary workers. She then went to lunch with the Manager and although she would deign to speak to me outside the work she could not acknowledge any friendship between us she was not able to be 'friends' !!!

My feelings of friendship changed and I thought of her as being very uppity but I did 'sort of' understand the position she was put in by our Manager... But it ended our friendship.

It's very difficult to be real friends with employees if not impossible.

Love Kate x.
