| | | I work with this kid my age named John, who, to quote George Clooney, is "dumber than a bag of hammers". This is the kid who cut a lamp cord while it was still plugged in. We were carrying in a table, so the donation room door was propped open, I accidentally left it open for about 15 minutes after we were done, right after John had finished for the day. What happened next was pathetic. Supervisor: John, can you close the door? John: No, I'm done for the day. It's not as if it requires a gargantuan amount of effort. He's a lazy fuckwit, is all.

| | | I may be many things (an asshole, an opinionated bitch, short-tempered, judgmental, etc) but there are two things I am NOT: 1. A liar 2. A thief
Someone at work is pissed I called them out on their bullshit and helped the company catch them nearly-red-handed skimming. So they choose the mature route and run a smear campaign on me here. Good news is, they've got no proof or witnesses I'm stealing. Bad news is, I have no proof or witnesses I'm NOT stealing. It's my word vs theirs. I have people who'll back me up, but this person is buddies with the CEO. The thing I caught them on (skimming product)? Suddenly it's showing up again. So not only do I look like a petty liar, but I look like an asshole.
It may be time to abandon ship.

| Nah, just stay where you are and keep your head down. You're both being watched for the moment. You stick to your convictions, this other person will stick to his/her bullshit and eventually hang him/herself. I've seen it and been part of a similar situation. I've proved I'm not the liar, the lazy bitch or the thief, while the others who bad mouthed me are long fucking gone. Just keep your head down, do your job to the best of your ability and go home at the end of the day in one piece. That's usually more than enough...that and pitch in when there's more work than bodies who know how to do it and eventually, the company will start looking to cut the dead wood. I'm still where I am after 7 years, those who opposed me have been gone for more than four and I get what I want when I want it, so it does work out in the end.

| | | Will pare it down just to the basics, but: -New woman comes in and immediately goes power-hungry -Makes accusations both to my face and behind my back that I am stealing cash and product. -Lies about having product, then when is called out, suddenly brings stuff over, albeit total shit. -Tells me all money comes to her, insults secretary of company -Goes toe-to-toe with one of my supervisors, insults him and company CEO (including insinuating that everyone in the company save for her is skimming cash or product), tries to play the nickel-and-dime game and it backfires -Is combative with me
Fast forward to today. I turn in payroll sheet and secretary asks about money. I tell her what I was told and she is FURIOUS. Her, supervisor, and CEO's right hand man all recount stories of this woman bad-mouthing everyone and being full of shit sideways. Find out she's been spinning a web of lies. With everyone basically backing up my side of the story, boss demands a meeting happen tomorrow. I go back to my warehouse, she comes in and starts demanding passwords for Paypal, Ebay, Craigslist, and email. I refuse all but Photobucket and CL (but still give her bogus passwords. I don't even have the password for Paypal.) She gets pissy and wants to use my computer. I tell her (in so many words) to get bent, no one touches my computer. She tries to tell me because it's company property, she can tell me what to do. I excuse myself for a phone call and then call the supervisor. He backs me up on my decision, and tells me that if she wants to make a stink, have her call the CEO. She does, gets bitchy with him (WRONG MOVE!), and whatever the jist of the conversation was (I was talking to a customer on the phone), she stormed out in a huff declaring "We're done here." I found out later from another customer (a regular) she was trash-talking me TO THE CUSTOMER on Friday after I left. Classy bitch. We'll see how the meeting goes tomorrow.

| | | Well the meeting certainly didn't go in the direction I expected it to go. Don't ask me how, but somehow this woman is still (to my knowledge) involved with the company. I guess a ton of fake rage and indignation can go a long way. That and bringing along your associate (who's a long-time friend of the CEO) and your husband (who has fuck-all to do with this situation). It also helps when the boss has a private meeting with you and your two cronies before bringing in the rest of the players. Granted, they weren't kissing her ass the entire time, but there was a fair amount of throwing me under the bus. Upon being called out for bringing me absolute shit (with my supervisor backing me up), she put on a spectacular show of being offended and upset, but that's all it was: an act. She claims to have spent $750 on a pile of trash: Moldy antique price guide books, a box of rusted woodworking hand tools, a crib mattress, a bin of old Xbox games, a busted-up wooden filing cabinet missing half the drawers, two small dented and rusted tool boxes, etc. The entire deliver totaled maybe $90 in value. The rest was pure trash. There were more insinuations of me (or the supervisor...who is also the secretary for this and the other 20 branches of the company) stealing and skimming from the company. I defended myself and fought back against this woman as best as I could, but I have a feeling I went in with the deck stacked against me. She wasn't in today or most of yesterday (other than the meeting), so maybe she really did give up, but we'll see. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop in the meanwhile. I'm hoping maybe my supervisors sat the boss down and talked a bit more sense into him. NO ONE likes this woman at the company other than the CEO. And of course, he gets the final say.
TL;DR: Meeting didn't exactly go in my favor, despite me doing my best to defend myself and having a trusted ally in there with me. Hoping boss has a change of heart and ousts this bitch.

| | | So at work everyone in my position gets scheduled for 4 or 5-hour shifts all week. For me its not that bad since I live within walking distance, but still there are times when I'd rather just sleep in, watch TV, or do almost anything else. To me coming in for just 4 hours is sort of a waste of time. Anyway, today one of my coworkers called in sick who was scheduled 10-2:00pm. Totally understandable, if I had something better going on, I'd of called in sick too. She actually FB messaged me the night before, and told me she was gonna call in sick. Since I was scheduled 8-12:00pm, that way I could have an excuse ready if they asked me to stay. So as expected my boss comes in at 11am and ask me, "can you stay and work 8hrs, so and so called in sick." I say, "no I've got plans, I planned to be off at 12pm, and I've got people at home waiting for me to get back, we're going to the beach" - complete BS. I could've stayed but since I worked 4hr shifts all week that amounted to a total of 20hrs I figured fuck him. Then he waxes on about how "we should all be more dependable." If you want people to be more dependable schedule them for 8-hours shifts! That way it's at least worth their time to come in. We've told them this so many times yet they still schedule everyone 5-6days a week with 4-hour shifts. That's what pissed me off!
