Co-Worker scews up my Time slot and morning commute
Quite frankly at this point i'm tired of talking about it. Here goes though. Early last week my co-worker says to me "I want to start alternating months where we switch time slots". Now i was fine with this idea 3 years ago when it was put on the table when i first started the job. It was a new job and i was willing to compromise. I've had the 8-4pm time since then and he has had 9-5pm. This is a no brainer as he literally lives maybe (2 miles) 10 minutes from where i work, i live 28 miles and i have to drive up the God forsaken joke we call the Garden State Parkway. I honestly don't mind coming in for 9am but it's leaving at 5pm that will really burn me. It roughly takes 2 hours drive in that mess. So i won't be getting home until abut 7pm and it's going to get dark soon, JOY!
This is also what pissed me off, how the situation was handled. On Tuesday of last week when it was brought up i talked to my boss and she said we'd have a meeting to decide on who would be coming in at what time and make it fair for everyone. Well apparently he talked to her to and the story changed. "Just make sure you both agree about the time, the two of you will have to agree on it". Well the thing that got me was he told me this AS I WAS LEAVING Friday at 4pm. He waited all week and all damn day so he could tell me as i left so it was me, him and the fucking wall. If i had known earlier i would have set up a meeting.
I left today at 7:45am and entire hour after me usual time to come in at 8am. I got to work at 8:15am. There was no traffic. "Some days are going to be like this i said to myself", but i don't get paid for the 45 minutes i'm in early. Now i know this as fact: If i leave at 5pm i'll roughly get home around 6:30-7pm (more closer to 7pm) If i leave at 6pm i'll get home at roughly 7-7:15pm so why would i stay untl 5pm and sit in two hours of traffic and get aggravated and stressed when i could just sit at my desk, work another hour (which i won' get paid for) and leave at 6pm and only have to sit in 1 hour of traffic?
Yeah exactly, it's fucked up. I came in today saying maybe this won't be so bad but the more i think about it the more i get pissed off. The last thing i need is bad blood with someone that sits three feet away from me who i genuinely like, i mean i invited him to my wedding for Christ's sake!
My boss is off today so i can't talk about it until tomorrow or at the end of the week so i can give a better idea of the time i will be losing and maybe, just maybe i can talk them into paying me for the extra hour. We'll see.
