| | | Managers who can make your life miserable. When I got promoted, I got a different set of managers, who were, in a sense, "above" my original managers. So they'd been overseeing me all the time, just not directly. So when I moved up, all the sudden my wardrobe was "inappropriate." I got yelled for having a "wrinkled" shirt...it was pleated. It was SUPPOSED to be wrinkled. Then I got a "talk" about a shirt that was too low-cut, even though I'd been wearing that shirt for TWO years, since I'd ORIGINALLY started working there. Did they say something before? Oh no, they had to wait two years, then write me up for it. And then they had to fucking SEND ME HOME to change. Fucking finance.

| | | 3rd shift supervisors for a company you do not work for, and are thus not responsible to, following you around while you do your job, critiquing your efforts, overseeing your breaks, delegating unsavoury tasks that would otherwise be done BY THEIR OWN STAFF, adding comments to your time-sheet, restricting access to supplies you need and then complaining that the task wasn't done to their satisfaction, all the while knowing that by denying access to the aforementioned supplies you would not be able to complete the task to any level of satisfaction. Those people suck.

| | | Administrators (also known as 'secretaries') who think I can do my job without the equipment necessary. Here's what's happening.... Well, new job going fairly well but there's an issue that is beginning to come to a boil. We're supposed to have email at work as well as access to the internet so we can assist the residents. Everything up to the modem is installed. However, we're still missing the terminal. Here's what's been happening. The administrator wants to connect to our controllers for the surveillance cameras and the computer we use to program access cards, monitor activity and lock or unlock doors. No dice says the contractor who installed them. You don't want a virus infecting them and causing all kinds of problems. Also, this will void the warranty. It would seem that the administrator understands this and then not even two days later, is making the same enquiries. This particular bullshit has been happening for almost a month now. Then finally, I have had to tell the administrator several times we don't have a computer and that one is needed to access email and internet. She basically tells me that I don't know what I'm talking about and that we can access the internet. Today, she has a listing for me but doesn't want to print it out (waste of paper). I once again point out that I don't have a computer and that I've been asking for one since the end of August. She then says, "Oh. Do you want me to save this to a disk?" My reply, "That won't be of any use as I don't have a computer and need one to be able to read the disk." What is the problem with this stupid bitch? What part of "We need a computer to access these files" does she not understand? What was she expecting with that disk? Was she expecting me to shove it up my ass and I can then magically read the fucking file? Later in the day, I was told a computer was being delivered and installed today. I checked with the evening guard but golly gee fucking whiz, no computer has been received. So in other words, back to square one. How the fuck am I expected to give these extended services without the necessary access? Sadly, the manager is too busy with a lot of other stuff to help but I'm now going to have to complain to her (again) and perhaps ask her to ignore the administrator and make her do her job. This is slowly becoming the icing on the shit cake!

| | | I can sympathize. I got a similar response. Where I work, they recently put in a new system for email should the servers in Memphis, TN go down due to some catastrophic issue, as some of our email can be time sensitive. Specifically mine, because if something happens to the software I'm supposed to be helping administrate, I need to know about it since we all technically remote into a server in Tennessee. IT usually leaves a message in my email about any issues or server reboots and it's nice to have advance warning when shit isn't going to work. Anyway, due to the tornado and severe weather threat, the company saw fit to give us a way to access our email via the internet instead of Lotus notes which we've been using forever. What I can't get the management to understand is...there is not one computer on the floor where I work that has internet access! They blocked access to the internet on every single workstation on the floor because of incidents of people looking at sports scores and other bullshit during work hours while management was watching. Where I work, they treat us like we're in prison or something. I still can't get them to understand that if they'd just key internet access to our network log ons, that maybe, just maybe they wouldn't have to lock all the workstations down. Or that if they only would get better net nanny software that maybe they could block all the shit they don't want us to be able to look at. But no, instead I have to use my cellphone and my internet access, which I pay for, not the company, to make their stupid shit work. Grrr. Shael
