I find myself longing for the worst days at my last job, since even those seem wonderful compared to the strangeness I find myself in now. I see the potential. Yet everyone in management on down seems determined to make this place as messed up as it possibly can be. Maybe once a day I go to accounting to pick up and drop off stuff. I say hi to a few of the people that can be bothered to talk to anyone. Accounting being snobs doesn't bother me, we had a few of them at my last job. I'll stop and chat for a minute with one or two of them but nothing that takes up considerably time and if we have something to mull over we'll go outside. Now I find that my name has been dragged into a talk with one gal that she is no longer allowed to talk to me at work. Just hello. Our work paths do not cross so we have nothing to talk about. This really really really annoys me. If I have done something to get her into trouble they should be talking to me. The least bit of courtesy would have been to have me in the room when they talked to her about me. I understand that they also talked to her about other things, but to me if they wanted her to stop talking so much they should have been general about it not just throwing one person's name out. It also annoys me that they might be using my name because there are people here that are mad that Jeff found another job. They had their chance to convince him to stay and all they could do was talk about how good it was. Hardly any incentive to stay since all the things they talk about have been taken away. If they are going to give her a hard time over not helping to convince him to stay, when will they start giving her boyfriend who also works here a ration of shit over stuff.
The stupid thing is that this state is an at-will-employment state. Meaning they don't have to give us any reason why they let us go. If they don't want me here then tell me that I am terminated. If they don't want her here then tell here she is terminated. Yet they don't fire anyone for any reason around here. Threaten the life of your coworkers, take lewd pictures, make jokes at the expense of the gay guy, steal money and supplies from the company....and you still have a job and you don't even have to apologize. Oh but you can potentially get fired over taking a stock unit and getting in an accident but that guy never came back to work so they probably put it down as job abandonment.
