Yesterday afternoon a co-worker came to me and told me that the VP of the company made a sarcastic comment regarding the "engineering department" being to work on time. Now...I understand she's the VP of the company...and she has the right to say whatever she wants....but wouldn't it be smarter to know what you're talking about before making any kind of comments!!!
She made those comments to a co-worker yesterday in front of the President of the company which makes me look bad...like I'm just coming in whatever time I want to. When that is in no way the case! If she had done her due diligence and spoke to my direct supervisor than she would have known that my supervisor and I came to a resolution of what my NEW schedule is going to be since I have to either pick up or drop off my son at daycare everyday.
The VP is upset because she wasn't kept in the loop as to my schedule...but in all reality...I don't have to relay that information to her. I don't have any dealings with her and if she had a question about my schedule...why wouldn't she ask my direct supervisor about it? The co-worker who brought this to my attention told me because the VP also made a comment about starting to doc "engineering's" pay for not being here at the mandated times.
So in an attempt to be proactive, I decided to forward the VP copies of the emails between myself and my supervisor stipulating my new work schedule. Did I need to do that? NO! And my supervisor said the same thing....her exact words were..."It's none of her freaking business what your schedule is! If she had questions about your hours....she should come to me....".
You see.....it's not just me wanting to be out of this company...the way this company operates is completely backwards! You have people in certain positions overstepping their bounds, racially motivated comments made in jest...and to top it all off...none of us are paid according to our true value. It's all good....for now I have to continue doing what's necessary to provide for my family....which involves dealing with the ridiculous crap that happens at this company....but hopefully I won't be here much longer.
**UPDATE**
When I forwarded those emails to the VP I made sure to put a read receipt on them, and sure enough I got read receipt messages in my inbox around 1pm today. Has she acknowledged the emails? Has she responded to them with even the slightest sense of understanding or appreciation for the fact that I divulged to her the reasons behind my needing to alter my schedule? (Although...seeing as she's not my direct supervisor...I didn't have to inform her of anything if I didn't want to.) NO! She doesn't acknowledge the emails, she doesn't respond to them, she doesn't say thank you for letting me know....even a sarcastic remark would have sufficed....because that's what I expect from her anyway. But I didn't even get that. What did I get? I got icy looks, the cold shoulder, ignored, however you want to put it...that's what I got. Even when I went so far as to say hello to her...she didn't even speak. In my opinion...that's just RUDE!
How can you consider yourself an adult and not acknowledge someone saying hello to you or even acknowledge the fact that they sent you an email? How childish do you have to be to allow the fact that you weren't kept in the loop (although it's not a loop you were supposed to be kept in) to affect you that deeply that you can't even muster the common decency to speak to someone when they speak to you? Bottom line...I'm done going above and beyond for this company. I come in early when needed, I stay late when needed....I deliver drawings and packages in my own vehicle when needed...but the second I need a little cooperation in my schedule...I get attitude from a higher up who really has NO say in whether that adjustment can be made to my schedule. As a matter of fact....I'm done worrying about her antics and how she's behaved like a child throughout this situation. In the long run....I'll get the last laugh.
