Houston, I detect a problem. Please help me see this is no big deal

“Can you be sure to hit the bathrooms tonight? I don’t think they got done on Sunday, and I don’t know how much time you had last night to do them. Pat said they were pretty messy this morning.”

Me: “That’s bull-sh-it! I did a thorough job on the restrooms. And why isn’t she vacuuming the main hallway and lobby during the day?”

She’s there 8 hours. I’m there for 4 hours. Don’t even start it with me bit-ch, you won’t find a better worker than me. I’m not going to let this get to me, but it kinda is. I go in every time he needs me, not even on my scheduled days, and includes again tonight.

Daze, your main problem is, you do tend to get petty.

Juat keep your head down and get your job done. You wont get along with every coworker, but you do have to be respectful to them all.

Huh? This is not ME not getting along with a coworker.

I work on my own, and have never copped a negative attitude toward anyone.

And I don’t run to the boss and say anything against anyone, except this morning, just now, when it was done to me.

If I had an employee respond to a coaching by swearing at me, I would not feel especially confident in that employee. Now you know that their standards for cleaning the bathroom are higher than you previously thought. They weren’t trying to hurt you. They were trying to teach you.

Done with you.

sorry I posted this.

I didnt mean to upset you. You asked for help seeing that it was no big deal. Part of having a job is making mistakes and then learning from them. You are still new. It will take a while for you to figure out exactly how they like things. That is okay, and doesn’t make you a bad employee. It makes you a new employee who is still learning.

Looks like I’ll be working every night this week, not sure about Sun though. Knowing my attitude right now, I’m going to work the full 5 hours, and that means when Pat gets there at 6:30 a.m., the place will be immaculate, and there is no 3rd shift callers, everyone is gone by 8 or 9 o’clock. If this makes everyone’s life easier, well, great! I sure as hell hope I don’t go over income. I haven’t worked in well over 2 years. It’s nothing though, I like the job, and it’d be worse somewhere else.

typically I take one, maybe two cigarette breaks, less than 10 minutes, mainly just to sit down briefly.

You are legally entitled to a 15 minute paid break for every four hours of work.

I never got a handbook, and I also rarely use my cell phone,
but they never said any policy, I have to check messages from my boss.

I didn’t even know the name of the company until I got my first paycheck.

I just knew the call center name.

And I’ve looked for an MSDS book, I really don’t think so.

It is a federal law. For every 4 hours, you get a paid 15 minute break. For every 6 hours, you get a 30 minute unpaid break.

Just do the job, Daze. Look at all these people out of work.
