Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

I used to work with a wumman who would leave 2-3 hours early whenever her kid had a school sports game. Once a week or so. Over the course of the year she easily took a week's worth of free leave but what was doubly frustrating was she would complain to our boss if I didn't do her work while she was gone. And the boss backed her up.

"Come on, she covered for you that time you were sick."
"Yes, but that came out of my sick leave."

"Well, you don't have kids Shotgun - you don't understand."

f**k

In my last job folk used to get that. 'Carers leave' it was called. Sorry but if your child is sick that's your problem not your employers. That's a day less annual leave entitlement IMO.

With my recent travails, Mrs WRK had to spend a couple of months driving me 80+ miles daily in order to receive treatment. While our employer allowed her to shift her hours around to an extent, any time lost was either unpaid or had to be from her leave entitlement. Coupled with running the house as close to normal as possible, I reckon she's had a harder time than me in a lot of ways.

The same employer is currently questioning why I'm still on LTS despite knowing my situation (currently recovering and aiming to return in January) and the manager who spoke to me holding, as he asked, a sickness certificate completed by a specialist consultant with over twenty years experience. And looking at an employee (YT) who has lost two and a half stone from what wasn't the most ample frame to start with.

Said employer is currently encouraging staff to help in their ambition to be awarded an "Investors in People" certification. Which they'll probably get.

I don't disagree with what you are saying. I do however disagree with half of the office seemingly getting in no questions asked. Either do it for everyone or not at all.

Have you no decency! Have you no decency, Sir!

Stick your fucking Happy Christmas up your arse. It's fucking Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! You c**t!

I will kill you. I will kill you if you say Happy Christmas one more fucking time.
