Popular Post BR46 Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 8, 2020 Why do they all turn in that guy? Expecting me to work more hours than I agreed to. Joe is trying to get me to work more hours and throws a guilt trip at me when I say NO. I have to remind him that I'M RETIRED if I wanted to work 40+ hours a week I would have stayed at the factory at more than twice the money with benefits then what the school is paying me. Then he throws in next year you and your wife will be working here (she's planning on retiring in September ) There wont be a next year working at the school.......it's not fun anymore. I told them that when I started that in July I was going to work just 5 hours a day but they decided to add 20 tuch screen TVs and now I guess it's my problem to get them installed in time on top of everything else that needs to be done. You have made this job your life DON'T EXPECT ME TO DO THE SAME. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it. ...last year Joe was shot handed so I helped him out. This year he's just talking advantage of me like most bosses I've had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's trying. .....when I walked in to his office he was looking at boats on the Internet and I called him out on it. Then I remembered him that I'm not here because I need the money. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChrisL Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share #8 Posted July 8, 2020 You need a boss like mine. He came in today and was printing documents. As he’s walking back & forth past my door from his office to the printer I grabbed a nerf pistol I brought in to shoot the facilities guys with and drilled him right in the ear as he walked by my office. Except I didn’t realize he was on a call/had phone to other ear so he flipped me off and kept walking. A few minutes later he stopped at my door and said amazing shot & threw the dart back at me. 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been retired for almost 3 years. It would take a lot to get me to go back to work after 40 years, 2 months, and 12 days. (not that I counted...) It looks like you have to make a choice. Me.. If I still wanted to work. I'd ask for a 100% raise in exchange (for a limited time,) working more hours. Sure it's not about the money... but your time is worth a lot too. And then negotiate if you want the job. Or just quit... Life's short. The older get the more I understand.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep_herder ★ Posted July 8, 2020 Share #11 Posted July 8, 2020 I've not read the other comments and only the beginning of your rant. However, that is often what happens when you are good at what you do. A 'good' boss recognizes this, and would rather retain you in place for more hours than having to hire someone else to get all the work done. Good is relative to who is doing the evaluation. Just my point of view, and I can be a rebel. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a boss who sometimes tried to stick his nose in what we were doing. The water hose usually got him to back off. I don’t think the other crews could have got away with it but our crew was where he was making most of his money and good numbers. Of course he had lots of time to plan his pay back for getting him soaked. Working in extreme heat with hot steel getting hosed down isn’t really a bad thing. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
