now we'll die...

Ryuu has made the evening somewhat better by writing me team!fluff. http://www.livejournal.com/users/karma_aster/83105.html?

Thanks, guys.

I swear, I HATE getting blind-sided like this. Apparently two requests (verbal) were warnings. Gosh. The first one? "Please only be on the internet at lunch/break." The second? "Since the others can't be on the internet, please don't be on the internet at all." ....

Also, apparently, taking a nap at break (which I've had to do this last week, I've been just DEAD) is a bad thing. It looks as if I'm 'not giving 100%'... Yes, and falling asleep over my keyboard is productive.

I *should* have listened to my instincts.

On... Tuesday, I think it was, I was picking up print-outs at the A/P printer, and heard one of my 'coworkers' saying something about, "...every time I walk past .... she's doing it." i.e., complaining. About someone. I thought I was a little paranoid to be thinking that it was ME she was talking about...

I still have no fucking clue what she thought I was doing.

Gah. I want to call Manpower back and... say nothing. Sigh. Oh well. I think I did okay, sounded fairly neutral and didn't say, "The people in this office are anal-retentive fuckheads anyway, thank GOD I'm not working there anymore."

Hrm. Should go make coffee.

These people are on crack.

1) If it's a warning, they should say it's a warning. Phrasing something as a request and then expecting someone to divine that it's a warning is complete crap.

2) Break is break. What business is it of theirs what you do on your break, so long as you're working when you're supposed to be working? Though, in future you might want to bring an egg timer and prop yourself up in the toilet. They can't bitch about you napping on break if they can't see you doing it. Catnaps actually help productivity, so it's their loss.

3) Asshats, the lot of them. Sounds like they're all just looking for excuses to make your life miserable. Guh.

4) You might actually have grounds to complain. At the least, you might want to make a comment about the working environment to the agency, they might put it in the file and hence prepare the next person a bit better..

*hug* Hope your next job is better.

Totally with Thren on this.

You really need to make a detailed report to Manpower about this. Their incompetance shouldn't affect your future employment.

And what a fucking day to do it. They need to keel over dead.

I agree that you should let Manpower know exactly what the company is like...in as professional and dispassionate terms as possible.

Now I see why the one company I worked for required signed documents about verbal warnings. Heh.

Seriously, though. If they didn't make things clear that they were warning you, and you complied, regardless, I don't see that they have much if any of a case.

Of course, I once had a company lie like a dog to Unemployement. Who believed them, of course. Asshats. Oh well. Not a job I wanted, anyway, but it did put me in a bit of a bind for a while, afterwards.

You rock. I know this, you know this. Lots of other people know it too.

So sorry this happened, and this close to Christmas, too. In the long run, though, you'll be happier elsewhere, methinks. That's not much consolation right now, but they sounded like such jerks, you know?
