Just do what you can in your time & talk to your rep re: harassment. They don't half try it on, don't they?!!Ilovemyjob wrote:resurrected thread because I caught some of this bullshit today.
Yesterday the boss called me into the office and asked why I had so few letters in my frame. Because, I explained, I've only had about 15 minutes on my walk and you may notice that in that time I've sorted all of my flats and packets and done redirections of the same. Flats being what they are, it takes longer to sort them. Additionally I have the handicap of being unwilling to attend work before 6AM.
Today a different boss called me into the office and asked why I had so few letters in my frame. Because, I explained, I've only had about 15 minutes on my walk and you may notice that in that time I've sorted all of my flats and packets and done redirections of the same. Flats being what they are, it takes longer to sort them. Additionally I have the handicap of being unwilling to attend work before 6AM. This boss persisted, waving around a piece of paper whereupon he had somehow decided that I had enjoyed a full 35 minutes on my walk, rather than 15, in direct contradiction of all that Albert Einstien has taught us about the regulatory flow of granular space-time... and that my sorting rate is now 4 letters a minute. Patently it f***ing WELL ISN'T.
The thing that f***s me off is that every day I've been leaving the office with a trolley loaded up like I'm going to the sodding moon ie - a quota of work many times above that which would be produced by this hypothetical 4 f***ing letters a minute person. I am leaving the office with all of that days work, and clearing a tray or more of backlog shite so why f***ing pick on me two days running when they can see I'm doing the bastard job (sorry about the swearing y'all)?
My theory is that, not being one of the eager-beaver-come-in-early crew, and having a backlog of work below my bay I have become a legitimate target. They want it cleared (actually, so the f**k do I!) but they can't say "work through your break" or "get in a bit earlier" so maybe they're putting on the pressure within "acceptable" boundaries of conduct in the hope I'll start losing sleep about RM deadlines and try to get in at 4.30am like all the other hopeless f***ers in my office.
Ruined my f***ing day that has. You do your best and it still isn't good enough.
Anyway, Friday I'm going in with a bit of paper and taking exact notes of times when I'm in there, clearing in, on sorting, on prep etc and exactly how long it takes. These dumb f***ers aren't going to intimidate me. I doubt the bastards can even spell it.
That feels better.

I have got my bigger fitter i have pested the management for now !!! after 12 mths of moaning and the last 4 wks of doing the job properly.
So i am going into tomorrow to sort my fitting out..........
