I’m so pissed off! This whole debacle makes me just so fed up. So I will try to make this long story as short as possible. I went into work yesterday with the intention of most likely quitting. They (HR—the only one in the department, mind you) offered me a leave of absence to get some time off and work with my therapist and see if it helps, and then look at options for scheduling my shifts so they’d be better for me. I was happy with this and I felt relieved. I felt things were going to work out. I only requested one week. I was told I could extend it as needed. I only had to mark “personal” for reason and no one has to know anything more. She DIRECTLY FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE put in my request and told me “It says pending, but it will get approved because it’s from me, don’t worry.” I worked directly with HR. It was sent right in front of me. I was told it would be approved and that was that.

Well, I get a phone call today saying “I know you’re on a LOA but since you didn’t call in yesterday it’s counted as a “no call no show” (two of those gets you fired). You have to call in until it’s approved.” I asked if there was someone I could talk to about this because I was NOT informed of that. I was on hold for 15 minutes for them to tell me “We’ve put a ticket in for you talk to someone, hopefully they’ll get to you soon.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME? HR IS IN THE STUPID BUIDLING. I am thoroughly pissed. Here I am trying to save my source of income and destress and then of course they have to screw me over yet again. I cannot get ahold of HR (I had to physically go down there yesterday and beg to see her). I’m literally nauseous over this crap. I’ve called BOTH numbers for HR (A work mobile, and a in house phone) and left a voicemail. You may be thinking “So some wires got crossed – it’ll resolve itself. Just relax.”, It took me 8 weeks to get my pay straightened out. 8 WEEKS! I care too damn much about this stupid job. I shouldn’t even let it phase me. It’s not a career move, or even in my field. It’s not even a job I’d really would want to move up in. I guess I don’t really know why I’m so upset. I’m halfway tempted to just walk in there and talk to the site manager about my frustration. But, for what? Nothing will be done and it'll just be adding to the crap pile already building as it is.

I have no real outlet for my anger so I’m trying it out here, haha. Sorry for the rant.
