Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hey Anita, hope it all works out. I can say this: Thank God It's Friday!!!!!!! Jon Please note: message attached Sorry to burden you all with this but I just need to vent. We had a meeting today at work to discuss a new schedule because of a grieveance we filed in May regarding one of the operators not having set hours and coming and going at will. He also worked a different schedule than us. We were told that we would have the opportunity to present a schedule we liked. We were not given that opportunity. we were given a choice of 3 that are the same as the other radio operator is working and he will be getting the same treatment he is now. When I brought up the fact that we were going to the schedule he is working and he is getting just exactly what he wants I was told that wasn't the case. I said you have 4 of us who think it is. I also asked about the fact that we were told we would have a chance to present our schedule. I was told we were NOT discussing that know. Needless to say we had 4 very ticked off people. Since this has been going on I haven't even tried to eat right or excercise. I have been tempted to ask my sister if she knows if the Alaska Highway Patrol is Hiring dispatchers. It would be another job and from what I understand the man to woman ratio is still in favor of the woman. Thanks for listening to me vent. I'm going to try to get some sleep since I have to work tomorrow(yeah rah) Hopefully my supervisor worked a double today so I don't have to see her tomorrow, but I'm not counting on it. PS I tried the relacore, but the feel good part of it and the weightloss part of it never hit me, but it could be because of the mega hours I have been working. From now on I think they will have to find me if they need OT worked and I can make that very difficult. Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Anita, I hope things work out in your favor. Keep your head held high and charge ahead. And, you might consider looking at other options such as the Alaska Highway Patrol. When other areas of your life are not on track, staying OP is almost impossible. You will get back to it when you can focus on things. Til then...keep you chin up and know we are here for you. Shell >^..^< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Thanks Jon. Unfortunately I have to work up through Monday, but no supervisor unitl Monday. On another note for all you Taco Bell fans I think Taco Bell just told me no more tonight. The low fat low cal frozen dinner I had at work had been in the freezer to long so I threw 85-90 % of it away and stopped at the Taco Bell drive-thru on the way to pick up so cheesy fiesta potatoes after got around the building I'll be darned if a light pole didn't jump right out in front of me. I felt like I hit it for a ton. Superficial damage only to my 95 geo tracker and a bruised chest and abdomen from the seatbel and I wasn't even going that fast. HMMM sick dy tomorrow because I'm achy from the bruises or maybe a personal day. Don't know, but that turned me off Taco Bell for a while. I just thought I would give you all a little laugh. My family and the officers(2 of my troopers and a city officer) all had a good laugh since I was ok. May as well share the joy.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Thanks Donna I really do like my job and most of the people I work with. There was nothing personal about any of this until the supervisor and her "favorite child" started lying to or deliberately misleading us. Another option is a transfer to another post. One of my co-workers interviewed for the supervisors job at the Indianapolis post (maybe if this happens Coco and I can finally get together) and everyone says it looks good for us. She has encouraged at least 2 of us to put in for the openings there if there are any. By the way as well as blaming the accident(mentioned in my answer to Jon) I had on the pole jumping in front of me I am blaming that hallucination on lack of sleep due to work related stress. LOL. I thought it sounded good anyway. Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Thanks Coco. A fresh start is sounding better and better, but then whne we talk to the troops they say"You are not leaving. When I hear your voice on the radio when I go on duty I know you will check on me , make sure I am alright and get things done. Anything I need you will see that I get" We had one do that to two of us tonight because he doesn't want us to leave. It makes me feel good, because I know he thinks I do a good job, but I don't know if I can take anymore of the supervisor and the LT doesn't seem to be aware of what is going on even though he has been told he may lose 4 of us and not just to in-state transfers. We have at least onw who is looking for another job altogether. Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Anita, Hang in there, sorry to hear that you your supervisor is a putz. Sounds like she is bending everything for the other radio operator can still be catered to. Hope all works out for you soon.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Thanks Gail Unfortunatley since we filed a grieveance the LT has given her a way to give him everything he wants legitimately and the rest of us are out of luck. One of the comments she made when we talked to her before we filed this was "HE has a wife and child" The girl I was with is a single mother ad has 3 kids. f you are catering the schedule to someone with a family I would think it would be the single mother, but I don't think she realized what she said and who she said it too and unfortunately we didn't call her on it at the time.
