Getting Even: Retaliation

It is like this:  

Just because someone was not fired, that the lies told about them were "unsubstantiated", and now being forced to work and being repeatedly told to stop harassing people...... does not mean being picked on.  It is just working in an ethical workplace.  It is about getting along and being a "Team-Player".  It is about being a decent human being.

No one wants to hate another person, but on the same hand, no one wants to work with someone who is nice to their face and then goes behind their back and attempts to get them in trouble with the "bosses".  

It is very difficult to "like" someone when, one is working hard and that someone comes out, leans on the desk & chats all about their personal problems while watching the other person work and not offering to help (especially when it is a part of the job duties to help the staff).

It is even more difficult to hear a person whine about how difficult their life is, how much pain they are in, how they just can't help and then see them go lifting heavy loads when no one is supposedly looking. Especially after  just having refused to help someone who is extremely busy & in need of help.

It is really bad when after being "innocently" questioned, 1/2 of the staff's 4 year-old work schedules (which meet the needs of the workplace) are changed by force (due to a Snitch-Baby) but then the same S.B. turns around & schedules their staff as their staff desires, ignoring the workplace directive & needs of the workplace, thus causing the workplace to be short-staffed.

People know what is going on, they are not blind, they are not stupid.....  They know treachery when it has been perpetrated upon them and they know by Whom!  Being false to someone's face after hurting them, does not make for a comfortable work environment, nor does it make friends.

We ALL Have Pain, We All Have Sorrow, We ALL Struggle to live this life, We All Have difficulty in our lives. So then, continually whining about how miserable of a life, how sick, how poor one is does not make people "friends". It makes for disgust.  Some have the decency to keep trials & tribulations private and not wave them like a banner. Pity is not friendship..... 

So when it turns against someone, then bullying and retaliation are NOT Acceptable responses!  It makes for a more hate-filled work environment.... directed back at the perpetrator. Thus everyone is uncomfortable and unhappy.

Have a problem? Look in the mirror.

 
 

Trouble Working With Trolls

What do you do when: the majority of your staff (including the  manager) is unhappy due to the terrorist tactics of Petty Tyrants? What do you do when most everyone wants to quit their job?

We use to be a very happy workplace, but now the powers that be (even middle management) are using scare & disciplinary tactics to force the staff into submission. Forcing staff to fulfill impossible goals & performance requirements?

How do you justify spending money on junk/toys/furniture/programming that goes unused by the community?  

How do you justify harassing a subordinate, because they report HONEST Statistics? 

How do you justify LYING to management about a subordinate because they tell you the truth?

How do you justify disciplining someone because they asked a subordinate for help in a grueling situation?




How do you justify reporting staff for working more than a 5 hour shift (forcing them to have their shifts cut) but turn around & ask your own staff if they prefer 2-4 hour or 1-8 hour shift and give them a choice of days/times to work... when policy states: "For needs of the facility" and their choices leave the facility short-staffed?

How do you justify screaming at your staff for talking to others you hate, but then you spend hours leaning on a public desk talking about your private family dramas to other staff members who could care the hell less......  while they are working their butts off, all the while you refusing to help?

How do you justify wasting $$$$$ ordering materials/supplies not needed, but ignore ordering what is needed?



How do you justify the fact that you blatantly disregard the fact that the CEO told the entire staff that there is $$$ for raises, but then turn around in a meeting (where the CEO is not in attendance) and tell the staff that you are NOT Giving raises..... and your non-management staff hasn't had a raise in five years, but you have your bonuses?

How do you justify pushing someone out of the way when you walk by them, especially when they have arms full?

How do you justify petty harassing actions:
* purposely  wearing/using heavy scents that aggravate others asthma/allergies
* use hand sanitizer to clean the telephone handset (after being asked Not to), again knowing it makes people ill
* move the footrest purchased for someone else w/ a need for accommodation and refuse to move it back, but do not ever use the one under your own desk
* complain that you can't help with handling books, yet easily go through all the book donations
* that it hurts to type a book spine label, but can pop out an e-mail complaint or documentation for some fantastical slight pain free

 

How do you justify staring at a computer screen for more than 7/8 of your shift & still get paid?

How do you justify yelling at staff you are not directly supervisor of: "What are you doing?", but yet refuse to check-on or supervise the staff you are directly responsible for? 

How do you justify telling a staff member, who happens to be following policy with out customer complaint, to just forget policy and "over-ride" what ever it is?

 

Oh Yeah..... I Forgot: Public/Government Employees... No Wonder We Have a Bad Reputation!

I still ♥ what I do, the community I work for and most all of my co-workers.... But I Abhor The Blatant & Purposeful: Bullshit Head Games, Waste of Money, Power Games, Retaliatory Harassment of Myself & Staff, Laziness, Dysfunction & Personality Disorders, and Insecure Snitch-Babies & their Fanciful LIES!

EXXON: F-ing LIARS

Silver Linings Playbook: Exxon Says Wildlife Hit By Arkansas Spill Were Mostly ‘Reptiles, Primarily Venomous Snakes’

By Joe Romm on Apr 14, 2013 at 11:06 am

Oily snakes — or snake oil?
Sure, you thought nothing good could come from ExxonMobil’s pipeline spill of some 200,000 gallons into the residential streets of Mayflower, Arkansas. After all, it was “low-quality Wabasca Heavy crude oil from Alberta.” And a technicality has spared Exxon from having to pay any money into the fund that will be covering most of the clean up costs — a 1980 law ensures that diluted bitumen is not classified as oil.
But ExxonMobil reports from the Mayflower Incident Unified Command Joint Information Center that even this cloud of oil has a silver lining:

The majority of the impacted wildlife has been reptiles, primarily venomous snakes.

Strangely, HuffPost reports, “According to its Facebook page, the Helping Arkansas Wild Kritters (HAWK) Center, which has worked to help scores of animals hurt by the March 29 spill, has not rescued any venomous snakes, but has cared for many birds.”

EXXON's NO PRESS PRESSURE

 

 This is really happening in Arkansas. Exxon is really doing this.
