...i will not cry at work....i will not cry at work...
My boss cut a bunch of checks Friday while I was out. Monday he told me to mail them, so I did. He came into my office and asked if I did, yeah, you said to...? He never signed them. And now he's all pissed off. Why the heck would he cut checks and not sign them? I always cut them, bring them to him for signing then mail.
So then he tells me I should always check. Well, yes, I should, but if you printed them up why didn't you sign them then before leaving them on my desk and telling me to mail them?! I don't get it... I can't take this. I feel awful, pregnancy hates me, it's so hard to concentrate because I'm exhausted and still so sick, and I'm just so f-ing tired of this job.
On the verge of tears...but I will not cry at work.... 15 weeks to go... please come early, baby...
Re: ...i will not cry at work....i will not cry at work...
Thanks. I guess it would make me seem less crazy hormonal if you knew my boss. Rather than laugh it off as "oh that kind of stuff just happens" he goes bi-polar and mutters half a dozen curse words and acts like it's the end of the world, until 5 minutes later when he's laughing up something else. Totally bi-polar and scary. Not a good quality to have in a boss.
And IDK about anyone else, but my parents never, ever said the F word. I grew up with it as a very shocking thing to hear, whereas my boss says it daily, multiple times, in angry tones, so it seriously gets my anxiety going.
This sounds like our CEO. Seriously, sometimes it's almost like he's doing it as a lesson. It's patronizing. We're not 5 yrs old. I don't need you to "teach me a lesson."
I'm sorry. That sucks & it totally could have happened to anyone. Where do you work? His behavior and cursing is way beyond unprofessional.
It's a small business, he's the owner... so I'm sure I could file some kind of harassment thing but really, it's not worth it.
I'm going to do everything possible to find another job before I have to come back here, but even if I don't find something, I'll keep looking for a new job once I'm back. I had been pounding the pavement before I got pregnant, but then stopped because I got so sick and didn't want to change jobs right before going on maternity leave.
Worst case scenario that I do come back, at least I'll have had 3 months off from this place. But I'll basically take anything that pays similarly, and since we plan to move next summer, I don't have to LOVE the job, it just has to be better than this at the very least!
DH's parents are willing to loan us money for me to SAH and keep looking for jobs after the 12 weeks, but I'd rather suck it up than go a few thousand into debt!
i keep hoping you're not on because you're having a baby
i picked tomorrow, and i want to be right! let's get moving!
Oh, I wish! No progress as of this morning. I'm about to start walking to move things along because I am getting impatient!
LOL. No, no! Wait till after brunch on Sunday!
oh yeah, well it *should* send you into labor!
Nestie book clubs and brunches...perfect for sending women into labor.
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?
BFP-2/25/11; 8 Wk U/S-3/25/11-No HB, measured 6.5 wks; D&C
Sorry you have to deal with that.
I was in tears at my desk Friday because of our companies FMLA/PTO policy. I hope you find something while on maternity leave. I will most likely be looking for a new job as well.
