Im suspended from work for a day, have a diciplinary hearing tomorrow at 1pm
Why? well i worked over last night till midnight (usually finish at 6pm) to rollout a mega important update to our inhouse crm, whole thing took from 8pm when the callcenter stopped taking calls till 23:45 when i finally finished testing it and left, if things had gone wrong id have been longer rolling it all back
Due to the late hour and me not having tea, i got home and made somethin to eat so didnt get bed till past 1am, this mornin i send a txt saying need to take the mornin off cos im shattered, not unreasonable considering the previous night, i get a txt saying be in for 11 and while i consider sending one back saying ill be in later than that cos im that shattered i decide ill try and make it in for that time and try and get more sleep
as im arriving at work i get another txt saying that he has finance waiting for me to do a server audit.. im not the only one that can help them with this.. this is at 11:05 as im walking in from the car park
so i get to my desk at 11:10, still shattered say 'i dont really care' in response to his txt, cant really be getting on my back after i did the work last night as a favour (dont get overtime pay, just time back.. eventually) and he starts havin a go saying 'i told you to be in, you can have time back when i say so' to which my response was 'if your attitude is going to be like that ill not be doing these update if ill get stick for it the next morning' he starts telling me im being completely inflexible to the needs of the business, i've been there 5 years and have always been flexible and doing this and other out of hours work so i took it personally and told him to 'f-off' at which point he trys to pull me into a meeting room to continue the argument and i walk off as i wasnt going to be goaded into arguing further, i tell a collegue i've had an argument with him and ill be back for 1pm but dont give any details but basically go to cool off, return later to find my id card is disabled and im asked to wait till he arrives and im escorted to HR
couldve been more patient.. but this guys attitude lately has been ridiculous, we are currently understaffed, just 2 server guys and we alternate an 8-5 and 9-6 shift, if one is off taking holiday or lieu time he's been pressuring the other to cover the extra hour. fair enough on rare occasions but we also do these updates nearly every week (they dont all take as long) so almost every week one of is off reclaiming time and since we already do a 42.5 hour week basic on an unspectacular amount for the job, so more hours arent exactly wanted or our responsibility to cover
this guy is my 8th line manager in the 5 years, had no issue with others but this will be the second time im on a disciplinary since he started not 2 months ago.. not at all impressed
