Work spliting my and my girlfriend from working together for false reasons

[kbc]

I use the word "petty" and so do many others because I believe this is a petty issue in its current context. Have they already decided to sack you? or are they simply assigning you 2 to do separate tasks (nothing unsightly there)...

All I'm saying is that this is more of a whine and you have very little grounds to complain about them splitting you up during work. You're employed there for a reason not to have an intimate relationship with your girlfriend. What exactly do you mean by "bending over"? Is it that much of a strain on your relationship?

You're getting far too worked up about this at 18, I'm dreading to think how you'd react to something more serious when you hit your 30s.

so in the real world do people take this sort of thing reguarly? being treated unfairly is common for your life? you must have a very rubbish life (IMO) to need to take that from someone just to earn some money. i guess i just feel differently and think that if i work hard i deserve what i want and shouldn't have to put up with rubbish to get it.

In the real world people don't consider this being treated unfairly. You are being paid to clean an office, not spend time with your girlfriend.

I see there really is no point attempting to explain this fact to you. My advice in this situation is therefore to explain that you arn't happy with the situation and then leave if it is not changed.

But it is unlikely that you will find a job that will allow you to work together.

like i said in first post, if their reason was true and we both had done what they said, then no it would not be a poblem, however this is not the case, the unsightly thing here is that they have made up something, which i can prove is a lie, to split us up. this is why im making such a deal out of it as its not right to do this to someone. others people we work with are also making a deal uot of this as like ihave said we are hardest workers there and there reason is easily provable to be a lie.

i really must go to bed now. i talk to the person on monday so will post how i win this. i will prove that you should stand up against unfairness

Good luck to you and the bunny boiler in looking for a new job.

Standing up for unfairness is one thing, making yourself appear to be a spoiled child in front of your boss is another.

By all means let us know how it goes, you may even win. Lets be fair though, you are doing an unskilled job that pretty much anyone else could do. If you don't play ball you'll probably get sacked and take your girlfriend with you, don't overestimate your importance.

I'll tell you what's unfair.

What's unfair that is you two are such a pair of children that they feel they have to make up a reason to do something ENTIRELY REASONABLE without you having a tantrum.

And then you have a tantrum anyway.

But what happened to Aloha Cleaning Services?

I just need to check I am correct here...

• You work at the same job as your girlfriend of an evening
• You see her virtually all day
• She doesn't trust you to even be near a girl
• The job wants you to work in different departments
• you are crying about it because this means you wont see her for about 2 and a half hours

I see two problems...

You have a relationship with no trust. This is a bad thing. I know this because this very issue just ended my relationship this past sunday.

You need to get a bloody grip. I'm sure you can cope with not seeing her a couple of hours.

This isn't unfair. I'm all for fighting against unfairness at work, but you're just being asked to work in different areas. I used to work beside my boyfriend, and we managed to be apart sometimes for full 8 hour shifts, but it didn't matter at all, because we were there to work, not spend time talking to each other. We would try to sit together, and try to take breaks together, but if it wasn't possible due to staffing needs, then we had to deal with it - it's a complete non-issue.

If you're not happy in the job you're doing, then find another one. To be honest, I didn't read all of your posts to see if they said you were going to do this, as your lack of punctuation and capitalisation hurt my eyes.

Quoted for truth there.

Okay, so they *may* have made something up.

Meh.

me and my gf work together it was her that got me my job.

i would like to work with her but she does an admin job and i'm just a dogs body, but i don't go complaining about it.

they may want you split up because if its true what u say that "you guys are the best workers there" then maybe they need a good working in side a and side b.

and have a think about this "Absence, Makes The Heart Grow Fonder".......

so basically the longer you are apart the more you will like her,

i don't like doing what i do at work cos it really isn't my stuff to do they employ other people to do it but they are called the night team which means they do jack **** so i have to do it but i don't whine or nothing cos i know nobody gives a ****.

Thats life and the sooner you realise that the lot better and happier you'll be in the long run !

Mountain out of a molehill.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Where I work there are rules in place to ensure that couples do not work in the same section, it causes nothing but hassle with cover for leave, domestics etc.

OP - you just need to get over it.

lol whats wrnog with wanting to spend the time with my girlfriend. it's 2 and a half hours a day. thats 12.5 hours a week. 650 hours a year. to me atleast thats a lot just to do a evening cleaning job.

Because you are there to work, not spend time with your girlfriend.

You are going to end up getting sacked if you persue this matter. Cleaners are 2 a penny, you can be replaced at a moments notice. Drop the attitude about thinking you have a right to work with your girlfriend because you don't.

You don't know how lucky you are if this is the main grievance in your life.

yet another reason why you dont pump the payroll!

 

[PaulStat]

Don't be so pathetic, i'm sure you can cope to be apart for a few hours a day!!

Most people are away from their partners during work.

Wow, if that's so bad, spare a thought for those of us who actually have real jobs and have to spend 9 hrs+ a day away from the one we love...

And heaven forbid, maybe there are even....<girls>... there
