I requested a co-worker to put up his phone since he consistently tries to utilize it at the most inconvenient times. If it’s just to look at the time, I’m not going to foam in my mouth over that, but when you start justifying your actions with lies that just don’t add up, I took action to be more aggressive. When I asked for justifications as to why he refused my request to do so, he says he needs it in case of an emergency. But literally 2 minutes ago, you said you had to look into your account for something—not a relative you were “worried” about.
I just charged to the store phone to call another leader, explained to them about his behaviors over the past few months, and we all had the consensus that this guy is just not taking himself seriously. He pretends to give his phone to a rep, and when I asked her if she got it, she stated no. So not only do you lie to me, you feel that needing it in an emergency is more than enough when we clearly have a number for them to call, and to refer to your name in the event of an emergency. Complete horseshit, man. They tell us if they refuse to comply, what’s the point in having them there? It’s not completely impractical requests here—we just don’t want customers getting pissed off at you for not caring about their existence, and thus we become the scapegoats.
Other peers of mine tell me that we need to be asses, and even management euphemistically states that, but what I did today with almost breaking the fucking equipment in rage, “ass” might be an understatement. I tried my best to look for any pros with this guy, but doing so would mean fabricating something. He gives me this puppy eyed expression of promising not to do it again, but he thinks I’m fucking stupid, and that I forgot how he did it before. I cannot stand how a person just goes through without any moral fiber in their being of doing that in front of me after God knows how much I put up with him in other circumstances.
A peer of mine told me that I should calm down, but ironically, this is the same one that told me that we need to be asses. I don’t think they know what they’re getting themselves into by hinting me to be that way. I would’ve had HR come down like WWIII at the other location if I didn’t make a complete 180 in my disposition, but this working persona just gets treated like shit at work. I don’t want to be an asshat because I prefer having extra help instead of a co-worker always calling in because “I’m” around. But I realize how easy it is to objectify their presence, and just treating them as extra bodies for help instead of people to relate to get the job done.
They don't give a fucking shit. But at the same time, just speed up the legal action to not cope with them ever again instead of getting my emotions into the equation. Don't want the macho man telling me not to do that because we need to "work with people because they matter."
