Boss fucked me over
    #7087022 - 06/24/07 11:57 AM (16 years, 7 months ago)

I put my request in for paid vacation for two weeks during Bonnaroo. Almost every day I saw my boss for those two months I would mention it to him so he could approve it. He always just said "oh yeah, I'll do that when I make the next schedule".

So about 2 weeks or so before Roo he says there's a small problem with the request since it spanned two pay-periods. I fixed it in the computer, which is all he asked me to do before he could approve it. Every day I saw him after that I still reminded him to approve it. Got the same "oh yeah, I'll do it" every time.

I get back from Roo, checked it in the computer at work, and it looked like he approved it. Last night I check my checking account balance and notice I'm about $300 short of what I should be. So I go online to check my paycheck and wouldn't you know, the jackass never approved the vacation time. I've already sent checks out to pay bills that haven't been cashed yet, and now my account is about to be overdrawn. Rent is due in a week and I won't get the $300 I should have had last Friday until the next paycheck on the 6th.

I do far more than my fair share of work at that hellhole, and when I make a very simple request that takes less than 30 seconds to approve I get dicked around. I called him last night raving mad. He said he can't do anything until Monday, but he'd "figure it out". My response to him was "I won't be doing any work during my scheduled shifts until that money is in my bank account." Looks like it's going to be an easy week at work!

Not to be a dick but you shouldn't make ultimatums until the money is in the account. But seriously though that's fucked up and I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. Is your landlord cool waiting a couple extra days?

fuckin' sucks, but if it works out so that you still get the money as you should and you don't really work too hard this week because it'll take a little while for the money, then you win twice. and winning twice is where it's at. yeah.

Might just be a glitch man. Bring it up to him...at my last job, HR was always fucking up pto but if you brought it to their attention they would cut you a check on the spot.

Disagree-- that's fucked, and his boss needs get his shit together--

If a boss thinks he can disrespect him and trivialize things that way once, it'll get worse, or at best, never change.

Maybe his ultimatum was over the top a little, but I think it's totally appropriate for him to make a huge deal of it, seeing as he is the one who will pay the late fees and have the credit hit when his checks bounce.

It wasn't a glitch in the system. It was his incompetence and general lack of concern that fucked me over. I can't talk to HR until tomorrow, but they cannot cut a check anyways. I have direct deposit and they are not allowed to transfer money or issue checks unless it is on a scheduled pay date.

Whitey: I'm not concerned with my ultimatum. I have seniority over almost everybody in my department, including my boss. They can either level with me and treat me with the respect I deserve, or they can say goodbye to a trusted, experienced, and damn good employee. All I ask for from my employer is time off when I need it, and I do not make unreasonable requests by any stretch of the imagination. Just like coastal said, it is my financial reputation and well-being that is on the line here. I did everything I had to on my end. It isn't asking too much for my boss to push one god damn button.

I'd definitely be pissed. Talk to them, see what they can do. They need to make up for it somehow.
