It was hard, but I kept my mouth shut!
Comments(6) You don’t know how hard it is for me too keep my mouth shut at times! I had to keep telling myself it isn’t really my business! For those of you that know my hubby and I work for the same company. I am a bus monitor for special needs children and my husband is the dispatcher/office supervisor. I don’t go into the office very often. I live right on the way for the runs I do. I am picked up and dropped off by my driver every day! I have issues with things that go on in that place and I would rather not be there for the most part! They have a real issue with workplace harrasessment both sexual and just a hostile workplace in general. It has gotten a lot better since it was taken over by a larger company, but still not where it should be. There are people there that run there mouths about things that are none of their concern and I have been a frequent victim of these attacks. Some of my co-workers claim I get special treatment because my husband is a member of management! Believe me I don’t, if anything I get held to a higher standard. I do my job and I do it well and I hold myself to my own personal standards as well as the companies. I follow the rules as should everyone. If I witness something that is wrong I report it. I am a member of the safety committee and the employee committee and I take the responsibililties serious. I go in once in awhile for meetings or just because I am going to have lunch with my hubby.
My hubby is off work right now recovering from surgery. He goes back to work on Wednesday. I had not been in there while hubby has been off until yesterday when I went in for a safety meeting. I prepared myself or so I thought. I had been getting feed back from co-workers I see every day about the things the woman who is doing my husbands job while he is off! For three days she was questioning my driver on the times she was leaving to come pick me up. My driver finally showed her the sheet showing the times she leaves base. My driver finally blew up at her and had to talk to the branch manager. She was running her mouth about how I should be coming in there instead of getting picked up at home. I had been told how she had rearranged my husbands desk and files. I saw what she had done, and boy is he going to flip when he goes back to work and sees his office area! She is questioning everyone on there times and trying to change things. The boss is not a good boss and he is allowing this! I just couldn’t handle the crap I saw when I was in there, she has let her subbing for my hubby go to her head and acting like she is doing a much better job than him. I wanted to rip her head off yesterday! I kept my mouth shut, but she kept popping in the room while we were having our safety meeting. We had to stop talking every time she came in because it was private information we needed to discuss. We had to go over all accident information for the past year and decide if the accidents were preventable or not and what should be done, like more training etc. She is not on the committee, but she just kept hanging around!
Everybody thanks for listening! I just had to get this off my chest, and I sure can’t discuss it with hubby!! Grrrrrrrrr!
Bad week but I maintained and it is better than a gain!!
Hope you all have a great weekend!!
