Ridonkulous.

This is what I want to shout at people when they are stupid.

Hunter is sick so I made an appointment to take him in to the doctor at 3:15.  I let work 1.5 hours early.  For the record, I am salaried, so some weeks I put in 40 hours, and some I put in 50 and some I put in 39.  It balances.

Then one of my azzhat employees tells me that it "looks like the company is already cutting you breaks since you had a kid and all."

W.T.F.  Seriously?  This lady is well into her 60s and had the luxury of staying home with all of her children.  I want to SLAP her.  Very hard.

Re: Ridonkulous.

  • Oh, just let it slide. It's obvious this person has nothing better to do than get in other people's bussiness. You know how it works, your boss knows how it works, so screw her and her attitude!!

    ::sends cyber slap to that lady::

  • *eye roll* I hate people like that.  I'd make some snide comment the next time I was putting in over 40 hours, but that's just me.  *cyber throat punch to the old hag*

  • I think the thing that bothers me most is that she's my employee.  I'm not a mean boss, and I'm pretty laid back, but still, why do you say that to your boss?

  • What a du-mass (my term for super special people at work)! In that case, I'd probably say something to put her in her place - no employee (in my book) should ever say such a thing to their boss.
  • Confused ::cyber punch to the nosey lady:: People like that bug. But, like Lore said, just let it slide : )

  • Wow.  That's bold she said that to you when you are the boss. 

    I mean, it's not like you were out getting a pedicure!

  • WTF? I would tell her that she had better hope that you feel like cutting her a break with her attitude. . .
  • If she keeps it up you could have a hostile work environment case for lifestyle discrimination...

    ...Or you could just make comments about her doing her job poorly because she's old...

    This.

  • I will cut her.

    JK, but kinda not really. What a b*tch. Moms and brides just can't do anything right, somebody's always going to complain.

     

  • Seriously?  Yeah, I can't believe she would say that to you , ESPECIALLY since you are her boss!  But what does she think?  That you are going home to sip cocktails by the pool while you get your nails done?  You are dealing with a sick baby which is another job all in itself!  Get a hint lady!

    Yeah really!  What a b!tch!

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • Wow- so, are you supposed to ignore the fact that your baby has a cold?!? and needs to go to the doctor? crazy!
  • Next time she's sick I'd tell her you're too swamped for her to go to the doctor....

     

    I know what you mean with the whole work extra some weeks and less others on a salary pay, but don't you get alloted "sick" days? If so, we always do partial sick days that cover the missed hours for work for dr. appts. So if this is the case, that lady is beyond stupid (even further beyond what she was for opening her mouth to begin with).
