matilda36Where do I start? There ia a bit of drama happening recently at work.
First of all, on Sunday I received an invite to go out with the old crew at my old site. I accepted, because I liked those people (note the past tense) and I wanted to spend some time with them. Turns out that the reason why the had invited me was to find out what the other sites think about their recent scandal. They even tried to defend the thief (because if you con 800 euros out of the accounts, doesn't matter if you do it to cover the petty cash expenses and help your colleagues when money is missing from the tills (so he says) yopu are a thief all the same).
They basically wanted the gossip. I have been honest and told them that the honesty of the whole staff is under discussion, and that we need to focus on the important things, like SAVING OUR JOBS, instead of wanking on something that has already happened.
Another day, another wank. I think I mentioned earlier on that we took on with temps contracts two boys that where on a contratto a chiamata, meaning that they were paid only for the hours they worked, but they had no benefits (annual leave and sick leave at all). Now they have benefits but less hours, hence less money. Instead of doing the sensible thing and looking for a second job or a different job altogether, they are trying to force the hand of our boss to give them (and pay them) overtime. The arrangement at my place is simple: you work overtime, you get time off. The point is that there is very little overtime going around and they prefer to give it to somebody like me, who don't complain, work hard andis happy with the time off (I like working but I am recovering and barely from a long period of stress, so time off is a must). These two idiots, who don't understand that their contracts, unlike mine, have an expiration date and to piss off the boss means the longest, unpaid leave of them all, the sacking, tried to get me into their plans.
I spoke with my manager instead. She is happy with me and our agreement, I am happy witth our agreement. She thinks they are idiots, because the boss is in the process of selling the activity, so everything is precarious. He's likely not to renew the temps contracts when they expire with the new year, and we still do not know how the new management will work.
So another bunch of people who don't understand that the point is not about their little wanks, but SAVING OUR JOBS.
Luckily on sunday my father told me that, instead of seeing me struggle every month to reach payday, he'd prefer me to go and live with him in his town. It would be a complete change of scenery, but I am slowly getting ready for that.
