Warning, vent ahead!
Yesterday I talked with my supervisor in the temp agency to try and get back on second shift. She did say there was opening with my group I was originally with and she said I could work second shift again starting today. Well, I get the call this morning that I would have transfer back to 3rd shift.
Thankfully they did give me few days off to adjust again because of sudden change plus that I had previous commitment I made to volunteer with Children's Hospital summer camp again.
Now personally I don't find graveyard shift that bad. I can adapt my life schedule to it, granted I don't keep having these sudden changes. Although the hours for getting life stuff done are much less convenient. One reason I'm trying to get back to second shift.

(The salty part)
The other reason... this one a**hole coworker! Don't get me wrong, most everybody met there are pretty nice, I do my best to bring a good attitude every day, and I normally don't talk s**t behind people's back... BUT THIS GUY... I've only interacted with him for about a total of 30 minutes my frist week on this shift, and I've really had to restrain myself from telling him F**K OFF!
Every day I've been there, he'd come up and tell me something like I'm not working fast enough, or I'm not helping out the other co-workers, or something of that nature... which obviously is not the case if you know me.
One of the days, he was the one that had to break me and one of my partners for lunch...my partner went first so I was stuck with him...first thing he does is start badgering me how I'm going too slow even though we've been just fine all night... then instead of laying out pieces in a nice pattern to make it easy to grind and speed up the process, he starts staking pieces on top of another and mixing the ground and ungrounded ones and telling me to hurry up and grind them. He simultaneously tells me to stop standing there and hurry up on a bending machine that runs a fixed pace while also somehow grinding parts several feet away... then to top it all off, when one the other co-workers came to help because could see the pileup that resulted in just five minutes of this guy... the guy starts talking s**t to the other guy like it was my fault we got behind.
The next day he has to break me and another partner out for lunch again.
We we're doing just fine that whole night, but when we came back from lunch... there was a very clear difference between when we were packing and when he was packing. We even had to tell our supervisor that just in case the next department sends it back to be repacked, we were not the ones that suddenly half-a**ed the work
I am normally not this salty... but I really do have my fingers crossed that he quits or gets fired before I have to go back there. I'm not being over dramatic when I say dread the possibility of working eight hours next to that guy if at some point I am assigned to the same line as him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm sorry to put you all through this, I really try not make public drama like this. It's just been a stressful last few days and I had to get it out of my system.
Right now I'm just trying to figure what my plan should be, I may ask my temp agency supervisor again if I can transfer to a different department on second shift if I can't go to back hot stamp yet. I really don't want to quit on them, but I do have to look out for myself too... and so far third shift seems to be offering the same benefits of second with more personal costs.
