Ingrates

Everything and anything that can go wrong has gone wrong just within the past 5 days. Its still going wrong.

I have had it up to my neck with the way the bosses are treating me. I am not a bloody slave. Today's episode really leaves me fuming. There were some important calls I had to take due to some house issues. Just twice I had to go out of the office to discuss something important. And the moment I came in I got a huge telling off from the boss that if I was going to go out to answer personal calls and not be able to look after the office phone, then I can take my phone and leave. I was really stunned with what he said and if I hadnt managed to take control of my emotions, I would have started crying.

Although they leave me alone in the office most times, I have not abused my privileges and made/received unnecessary calls during work hours. even when they are around and a call comes in on my mobile, I cut the line and call the person back during lunch.

Dont they have the decency and the brains to judge. Or the least they can do is to have asked me why I needed to take the calls. Instead,shouting at me like an uncouth barbarian is crazy. They are well educated and so much older than me, dont they know how to handle such things.

I am mighty pissed off with their attitude towards me. I am not serving a prison sentence during office hours whereby I cannot make/ take calls on my mobile. Am not an idiot like them to not know how to behave.

This whole month I have been so stressed and overworked. Even did manual labour for them and stayed back so many hours to help the office shifting. This is the kind of gratitude I get. I neglected my own house shifting even and these basket cases take me for a jolly idiot.

Just because the company isnt doing too good, it doesnt mean that I am their punching bag to vent their frustrations on. I might just be an employee, but I have feelings too. I am just so sick of this work and this workplace. Ingrates, all of them.

Hey..Rathi,
I am really sorry to hear about what you are going thru'.
Workers/employees like you .. should never be treated this way.
Your bosses should come to Canada.. and see what kinda workers they can get here.. and then maybe.. they will learn how to appreciate ppl like you.
Where i have workers bringing their friends to work.. and insist that they stay at the store till closing.. and think nothing of it... or i have workers.. who have b/fs coming into the store.. and hang out.. till they are done work.. and yet.. we can do nothing about it.. but to counsel them.. and they in turn calling me .. a "fucking chinese bitch"! It is certainly a very sad thing.. to see someone like you .. being treated this way.
No way.. is any of my workers.. gonna stay .. and do extra work.. without being paid overtime..! no way.. are they gonna stop... taking calls.. or have family, friends.. or extended family call.. at the store. Therefore, Rathi, i think you should leave your job asap. There is no need to be treated this way.
