Okay, so, I have to work tomorrow and Sunday with someone who was... Kind of mean to me two weeks ago.

For those who didn't read it before, this is what basically happened.

I was doing all the work, because this other guy was just wandering around looking lost, and my supervisor, the cook, said to me "Not to be mean, but you need to go a lot faster." And I nearly broke down crying, because I was working my *** off while the other guy was doing nothing.

Then she put away all the food without asking me if I wanted any, when we get to eat it for break.

Then I got sent home because they took my temp and I had a fever, and she was pissed the entire time, acting like it was my fault.

Well, I just saw her again on Monday, and she wasn't really nice or smiley to me then either. I was hoping it was just an off day for her the last time, but now it's seeming like it's not...

So I don't know what to do this weekend. I really want it to go by smoothly, I"m already stressed with how much homework I have to do.

I don't know how to handle her, because last time, I nearly broke down right there.

Well, work isn't usually the funnest thing, she very well could just be in her own head and not enjoying things. If you can, just try to nice and do your best. If there is some problem with how you're doing your job it is her responsibility to let you know, hopefully not just stew and be mean to you. Good luck tomorrow, I hope it goes ok.

Thank you. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, but... Who knows? I will try to do my job as best as I can, like I always do. If she has a problem with it, then that's her fault, I guess.

Its horrible to be just on the brink of breaking down in front of anyone. This is easier said than done but try not to focus too much on whats up with her. You know that your getting you job done and them some so try not to be hard on yourself. It sound like your dilligent about your school work. Cut yourself some slack. Its not fair that she seems to be taking it out on you. Give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe she has had a bad week.
I'll be thinking good thoughts for you to have a good weekend.

Hey there hydrophobic,

The weekends half way over. I hope it's going well. This is a support forum. Some posts are more supportive than others. Im fairly certain that there are plenty of people who have fun and enjoy their jobs. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Don't let the haters in the world bring you down. Please post how it went. How ever it turns out. I respect you for being brave and honest and opening up here. That takes backbone.!

Oops, wrong post.

[BlueInanna]

Hope you're ok Hydro, your backbone is just fine, I agree with Hester. I cant believe when people post weird random unsupportive stuff like that, dont listen to it. Keeping a job with bp is really tough and you are really powering through it all. Supervisor sounds like she's got her own issues. Hang in there

When people have no management training this is what happens on occasion. They
slip by management because management is so busy with other aspects of the work.

Her boss should recommend that she take some courses in psychology at the local
community college in what a leader is. It is one who shows the way, not one who
puts down others for their learing mistakes. She needs training, and you need to
remain strong and be polite, but let her know that a leader leads, not complains.

Take care and feel good about yourself. Sorry you had a fever. Please get some
rest and feel better soon.

Thinking of you and hoping things will go well next week.

Thank you all! And yes, I don't know why some people say things like that... It definitely didn't make me feel better. Dx

Anyways, it... Did not go so well. If you haven't read my other post, it blew up pretty badly. I came home crying yesterday because I couldn't take her behavior towards me, so my mom made me call my boss. She said she would call her today and talk to her about it.

Well, I don't know if she did or not. She was nicer to me this morning, but, in the afternoon, she was really short with me and no one else. She was running on 2 hours of sleep because her kid was in Urgent care all night, so I can see why she'd be stressed, however, I still do not understan why she takes it out on me only and no one else.

And I Don't think my boss did call her... I have no idea. I'm just going to see how this plays out and talk with my boss about maybe seeing if I can switch weekends so I don't have to work with her.

Smart idea, Hydrophobic1212. Her boss will take care of things for you if she doesn't
understand what she's doing.

You feel better soon with that fever.

Hey Hydrophobic1212,

Well you made it through the weekend.! Youre generous in taking into consideration that your bosses kid was in urgent care. That is no excuse for her to act like a douche. Youre the bigger person. Be proud of that. Keep your chin up. Keeping good thoughts for you.

[Hydrophobic1212]

Thanks, all! I really appreciate it.
