Stabbed In The Back

Mar 19, 2004 13:32

Went to work this morning, as you know I was called in for a chat because of the days I've had sick, wasn't exactly good news, but it wasn't bad either I guess.

Sarah (office manager) just basically said that the salesman who's acting as boss right now cause the big guy is on vacation in Cuba, well, apparently I don't seem as enthusiastic as I used to. When customers come into the showroom apparently I always act like I don't want to go out to them...which is bullshit, well, kinda. If you had to keep getting up out of your chair when you're trying to do work and trying to answer telephones, wouldn't you get pissed off sometimes? Yeah, thought so.

Well apparantly I'm always huffing and puffing and acting like I don't want to be there, so Sarah basically put it to me like this, she didn't look like she wanted to say it to me at all, which in all fairness I don't think she did, she actually got a bit upset and said she didn't want me to go. She just said J.T had told her to ask me if I still wanted to be there more or less. She also mentioned the fact that he always has to ask for a coffee...which I'm sorry but that's a down right fucking lie. Apparantly I make TOO MUCH coffee, so J.T AND J.R both said, if we want a drink we'll phone through, I told Sarah this, and she just said well just make sure you do what you did before cause she had no problem with it and neither did Leighanne.

J.T is a total cocksucker, typical salesman hates it when he doesn't get his own way and if something isn't done his way then you're an enemy for life. No exaggerating, that's exactly how it is...he really doesn't like the fact I speak my mind. Some days he'll come in and he'll act a total cunt, he'll be pissy when I tell him there's a customer in the showroom (and he says I DO) even when I tell them exactly what they want and their name and if they only want a quote. I give him all the information he needs and he's telling Sarah I don't! Apparantly he also mentioned to Sarah about my sick days, I said to her point blank...'You, J.T or anybody else would want me around you if I was feeling as bad as I did Monday, the fact I was being sick, you would not want me to make drinks for you, true or false?'
She agreed. She admitted that J.T is a total prick, control freak and he picks at little things for the sake of it just to make someone else feel small, he always has and he always will. I seriously think all this has come from the day I asked him what was wrong cause he looked really upset. He goes...'Nothing, and you have no right to ask me that'
I was gob smacked. I just looked at him and said, 'Right, well ok...cheer the fuck up cause you're depressing everyone else'

I don't give a flying fuck when it comes to pricks like that, I speak my mind when someone's behaviour affects everybody. I do my job, very well, I've never have complaints of any sort from customers or other work colleagues OR my boss, so I don't know why he has to jump down my throat at any chance he gets. It really pissed me off when Sarah was telling me all this cause it was J.T who told me I should go home on Monday cause I wasn't well, I'd been throwing up. Did he offer to give me a ride home? Did he fuck. I had to walk all the way to town to catch a bus. Did he give a fuck? No. He talks shit behind my back instead.

So yeah, I now have a months trial to 'get my ct together' Sarah didn't say that but I know that's exactly what she means. I told her about every other place I've worked I've only ever stayed two months cause I've either gotten bored or it was just temp. work, I like the people I work with, I like J.T when he isn't fucking in a mood, I like the environment I'm in, when it isn't polluted with fuck nuts. It's the one place I've actually really enjoyed working in and the one job I've wanted to succeed in and what do I get for trying my hardest? What do I get for being sick? Stabbed in the back.
