I really feel crap right now. I was signed off work for 14 days on Jan 2nd, with suspected glandular fever. My total cow of a manager has been on the phone almost constantly, asking me when I'm going back. The 1st time she phoned, I missed her call, and she left me a really shirty voicemail, saying I was to call her immediately to 'disscuss my absence'. She had no idea Id been signed off, and just though Id taken it upon myself to take 2 weeks off. Even now she knows I was signed off by my Dr, she's still pressuring me. Ive spoken to a co-worker, and apparently there are 2 other members of staff signed off, and the manager isn't paying out for cover staff, all in a bid to save money. She's also changed all our shift patterns (we work on a rolling rota system) and is no longer giving us a full weekend off anymore, and she's changed this without consulting us at all. Most people at work are up in arms about it, by all accounts, she just turned round and said she's not bothered. I personally think that if she saves the company money, then she'll get a bonus or something, but she should be looking after her workforce, either that or shes trying to push us all out, so she can get new staff to do things her way. I am so thinking about getting another job, but that's easier said than done, especially with the economy in the state it is. I'm due back at work next Monday, and I'm dreading it. I had a blood test on Friday, and shes already been on the phone to me this morning, asking me what the results were, and seem fairly put out when I didnt have them yet, but its been the weekend, so nothing has been done.
The changing of the set shifts has really pissed me off. Ive made plans for days off and weekends off, and now I don't get a full weekend off anymore. I know I'm not the only one, but I just don't know what to do.
To make my day even worse, me and OH have had a row, because he said he had videos and photos on his phones memory card and it wouldnt work. When I suggested he put it in my phone to see if it'd work, he said no, because there may be stuff of his ex on there that I wouldnt want to see. Thats wound me up. He says he can't get to it and if he could he'd delete it, and that i'm pathetic about winding myself up about something he cant even see, but I can't help that it bothers me. So now he's gone out, and there's bad feeling between us.
