Work Vent...

Last week I noticed only one other person had requested off the week of New Year's that would impact my job duties so I decided to jump at the extra days off and submitted my request. I also emailed my supervisor to tell him that only one other processor had the week off and so I was requesting the days off, but if he had other requests pending, that was fine. Well, he didn't have others pending, but what he was about to do was send an email out to the processors to see if anyone was interested in the days off for a lottery. The only restriction was if you have the week of Christmas off. Well, at least 3 other people replied back and said they were interested. Here is the vent. This morning I got a notification from our time off planning that my request had been denied. It makes me mad because nobody else had even thought about requesting the time off until he sent the email. If there had already been "public" plans for a lottery then that would've been one thing, but because nobody said enything until his email, suddenly others are wanting the days off and I don't think it's fair. And dammit, that pisses me off! But what can I do? Nothing. Nothing except be pissed off.

    Yup. That's a pisser. My husband has a saying: "Managers rise to their own level of mediocrity." I've yet to meet a supervisor who is smarter and more sensitive to the needs of employees than myself.

    Thanks for the moral support. Most of the time he's a pretty good supervisor, but every now and then... ugh. But to do something so blatantly unfair is rising to a new low. I wouldn't care so much if there had been an opportunity for a lottery the whole time and I lost fair and square, but nobody even said they wanted off until he sent the email. I don't even know how many people he was going to give it off to. If it's 2 then he should just make me one of the 2, but we haven't gotten an email saying who won the time-off lottery. *sigh*

    I'd be pissed off too. What a crock of crap that is.

    And we don't even know , yet, who won the lottery. Except maybe the person who won. One of the people who suddenly wanted to be in o it sent an email yesterday asking who won, but our supervisor didn't answer and he was off today...I guess it doesn't matter who won now since it wasn't me.
