strategy 4 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 we got out five minutes later than expected last night. some people showed up with some time-consuming shit at 5:59 and I wasn't willing to be a dick and say no. coworker has gym classes at 6:30 and flips shit every time we're not out the door at exactly 6:00. this time she actually started yelling at me to my face... I just let her blow off steam because I really don't need another incident. unbeknownst to me, coworker calls management and says we need to have a chat. proceeds to tell them I'm slow (I was, initially, because I was new), rude to customers (this is actually not true, ok), and intentionally trying to piss her off (also not true). so I get blindsided with this 'mediation' meeting today.like, this is the fourth time I've had to meet with management over some imagined necessary behavioral correction or another. in under one month. I... am speechless. Link to post Share on other sites

strategy 4 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I feel like this job experience thus far could be made into a pretty decent episode of curb. a series of mistakes have conspired to fuck me entirely. like, my trainer was my neighbor's daughter, kind of a family friend situation. she went into 'let's have an off the record conversation' mode at one point and complained to me that her hourly rate wasn't very high, that anyone with her responsibility would be making 1.5x more. I related some similar frustration: this guy I know, an 08 grad with some random agriculture degree, was hired by the bank at exactly the same time as me, only as a loan officer instead of as a teller. she went straight to management with this, and that led to two different meetings with basically the exact same content.then, I asked some customer for ID. he'd been banking with us for like 50 years but fuck if I know who he is. he complains to my supervisor that he was asked for ID, and that's meeting #3.obviously today was meeting #4, so now I'm entitled, rude to customers, and can't get along with my coworkers. gonna fuckin FLY up the ladder at this bank, I tells ya.

speedz99 145 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Meeting #1, #2: "Well, my trainer was complaining about X, Y, and Z, which made me very uncomfortable, so I was trying to relate to her. Also, it's true, and I don't understand why he would be a loan officer and I wouldn't."Meeting #3: "How should I have dealt with the situation?"Meeting #4: "Give me specific examples. Oh, yeah, the most recent time she was angry with me was when I allowed a customer to enter at 5:59. I'm not sure how that was a case of my poor customer service."Done. And if you get fired, fuck 'em. No fear. Go big or go home. Et cetera.Edit: Obviously hindsight is 20/20, that's easy for me to say, et cetera. Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 See number 3 seems so standard to me. I have experienced it often and most times you just have to suck it up and deal with it or call your boss out and risk termination.Basically it boils down to a boss/company having a policy, you stick to that policy because it is expected of you, but when one person complains after you uphold that policy the boss/company does not back you up. I think this is something that happens more times than not. I have yet to find a boss who will back me up when I uphold a policy of theirs when someone decides to have a tantrum about it. Customer is always right! Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 A good boss in that situation apologizes to the old man, explains why it happened, and behind closed doors said you did the right thing.That would be nice. For sure. The hell you say.I do say!In college I used to be a customer service douche for a local science museum. We had laser and planetarium shows and there were age limits to each show. I would not sell tickets to people with children who were not of the correct age because if I did then I did get yelled at and written up (who writes people up anymore?). But if I enforced the age policy and some cranky mother decides to raise hell and demand to see my boss he would come out apologize to her in front of me and say here are the tickets and then walk away while cranky mother does a victory dance in my face. Hate that more than anything.My boss does it now too. Annoys the hell out of me but I am so used to it. I can only think of one boss I have had who backed me up everytime. I miss him.
