Yesterday was a terrible day at work. The 'company' and I use that term very loosely! The company I work for has pretty much destroyed the moral of about half their workers, one of which being me. And yesterday out of a spite-filled revenge energy, I performed terribly on the job. Just happened to be the same day I get Mystery Shopped for the first time.
One of my two managers comes to confront both me and my coworker on this, each one of us taken to the back room for a one on one meeting. The one left behind, feeling certain the other, if not both of us were about to be fired.
Well since I was the second one to go have the '5 minute meeting' I kind of knew what I was getting into. And I wasn't about to back down, Not after the whirl wind day I had just pulled myself through. After my manager had said what they wanted to say, I apologized, but then took the meeting into a different course. Asking, with the exception of that day, had I angered either of my superiors? Had I said something, or not said something, that may have lead to the cause of my hours being so drastic cut over the past two weeks?? (all true, part of why our moral was so low) I brought the books to my manager and showed how the schedule was very off balanced, and even went as far to say, combining this with the pay day confusions as of late, well it's just really hurt our moral. I said.... And I added how I was going to bring it up at the meeting, since it wasn't only me, but a handful of others with the same problem.
Somehow, by the end of this 'five minute meeting' I was somewhat forgiven for my performance for the day and not only did I go from 15 short hours but to 28 and, one of my coworkers had his hours surprisingly doubled as well.
It feels good to be so good....
