"We need to grow up and mature" (rant)
9 years ago
General
So about a month and a half ago at work, all the leaders of my workplace had a meeting. One of our younger leaders decided to declare "We will never be respected by the employees if we do not grow up and mature. We need to stop treating them like friends, watch each other's backs, and make them do their jobs or leave." Great point, absolutely phenomenal.
Well, the next day, guess who was getting buddy buddy and ignoring her duties to hang out with an employee? Fine, whatever... I was raised that if you were in a race on a horse with three broken legs, you make it happen and win that race.
Last Sunday, an employee called it and my coworker allowed it. I disapproved and told him he needed to at least let the manager that was going to be short know, who happened to be the girl that says we need to watch each other's backs. Well, I immediately set out to find her another employee so she doesn't struggle and he lets her know. Her response? "If you guys don't replace her, I'm not coming in." So MY COWORKER let the employee call out, I AM TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM, and she would fuck ME over to prove a point. I let her have it in as polite and gentle manner as possible when she came in. You know, trying not to be an asshole
Saturday, as you know, I burned the shit out of myself. I'm sitting here, barely able to move my right hand, I'm in a ton of pain, guess who I'm working with. So I tell her, "Look, I need to go, I can't do this job right now, can you stay an extra hour until my replacement comes in?" We need to watch each other's backs, right? Nope, she won't stay, I need to tough it out, and if she has to stay, it will take her too long to get to the beach where her partner is waiting for a night of debauchery. Finally, I just left.
So now we come to today, I get to work, still hurting but I have the next two days off so whatever... She is coming in to relieve me at 8pm so I can rest. Well, guess who texts me? Turns out, her buddy at the beach got put in jail and doesn't have any form of ID... So guess who has no idea when she's coming in? And guess who is stuck here....
We need to grow up and mature? Please, lead the way.

I knew who you were talking about before you even got to it
Typical women, I swear. They make it so hard for stereotypes not to exist. If that was a dude he'd at least have sympathy for you, but god fucking damn man, I really wonder why I am not gay when I see and hear shit like this. It's not something that happens 100% of the time, but holy fuck what a bitch
