So over the holiday weekend i was having trouble logging in remotely to work, which i needed to do because my supervisor did not give me enough lead time to finish my self appraisal as part of our annual review process.
i got locked out of my account and emailed the hr person, not knowing if she would respond or not. She did respond and sent me the on-call number for our tech consultant. So I was able to finish the appraisal, which took a full 8 hours. My boss had demanded the pre-appraisals be done by the 5th, so I saw no other choice than to work on it over the holiday weekend, which would not be the first time I've had no choice but to work through a holiday weekend.
So this afternoon she sends me an email telling me to stop texting or calling co-workers after hours or during vacations or weekends as it's both inconsiderate and disrespectful. I'm just baffled. During the season, we all are working during the weekend so we all communicate during weekends and off hours. Furthermore, it's a culture that is promoted by our CEO who catches up on all his emails at midnight and sends out a slew of emails.
I spend alll my time in the office in meetings that i really don't need to be in, which means I ALWAYS have to work from home after hours to get proposals submitted and bring money in.
And two weeks ago when I took two PTO days to be sick, my assistant director texted and called me a few times about stuff that she could have just asked someone else. Yet, I am the one who is inconsiderate and disrespectful?
They are just grabbing at any little straw to document a pattern of me not getting along with colleagues. And of course, when they mention these problems, there is never a specific situation mentioned. And next week I'm goign to make her give me a specific situation in which I emailed or texted after hours that it out of line with what the entire rest of the organization does.
The thing is, I did text two co-workers who I'm close with today as i'm preparing an advance psychiatric medical directive and need to list a few people who will agree to take care of the boys for a couple of days in the case of an emergency. Although that was during work hours, so i don't see how that was being disrespectful or inconsiderate, especially when I'm texting a FRIEND about a matter between FRIENDS.
The other thing is that with emails, after she complained about something similar a couple of weeks ago, i started delaying all emails i sent her until 10am the next morning or until a later date when it was time to discuss it. That way I wouldn't forget to email her about it, and she wouldn't get mad that i had sent her an email about something two weeks from now.
The EEOC charge was filed today. So I guess it's time for the big guns to come out. And for me to find a new job, lolz.
It just doesn't make any sense to me why she would chastise me for something that is totally ingrained in company culture and that everyone does.
Ug! Just when I think I can start handling things there again, some new poo hits the fan.
Seesaw
