No More Mr. Nice Guy
I've almost had it! I mean things are bad enough with my personal life and then they pile it on at work. Today management sent out a memo stating that we are no longer allowed to make outside calls at work. In fact they went so far as to completely disable any outside calling ability on our phones. That was a low blow, but what was worse was the way they informed us. Usually our break is around 10 am or so, but today me and the guys went down to Tim's at 9:30, and when we came back at just after 10 Kev, our team leader was in our shop pinning up the memo. As soon as he saw us he almost ran out of the room. After we read what was going on and tried to get an explanation, all he would say was that we need to "direct all our questions to Mike" the manager. Of course Mike left for a vacation yesterday and wont be back till Tuesday, so we can't ask him.
Now it wasn't the fact that they are stopping us from making the calls that gets me so angry, it is their company, and if they want to prevent us from doing that, that is there business. Besides, we are there to do work not make calls. But that is besides the point. What gets me angry is they way they told us. There was no discussion about if any of us were making a lot of personal calls, there was no staff meeting, there was no discussion. Management made an arbitrary decision, and then tried to give it to us in a sneaky way. None of them had the balls to come up to us and say it face to face, they are all cowards, all of them, including the manager who waited until he was gone to post the memo.
All this tells me is that management does not respect us. They treated us like children. And yet they want us to respect them? They used to tell us that they wanted to boost morale, and then they do this. Well I've had it with this place. I'm so tired of the politics. I am honestly thinking about getting a new job. But before I go I am going to shake things up. I am going to see management pay for this. I will have their jobs. I have more dirt on them than they think. I kept my eyes and ears open, and I recorded everything. I have all the emails, and notes. They think that they are punishing us, all they did was awaken a sleeping giant.
