Can you believe it????

Comment Published at 12:5212:5220 comments20 comments45 Visits45 VisitsReport

I'm fuming, I am really seething inside.  Today is my first day back at work and already they have stuffed it up ARGH!!!

In Januanry I went and saw my boss to finalise everything with me going back to work.  I thought we had it sorted.  My boss bought the roster up on the computer and it said that I was doing day shift I asked if it was a problem me doing afternoon shift meaning I would start at 1pm.   Not a problem she swaped me and wrote down my days for me. 

This morning I get up at 7am, the phone rang, I said to my partner quick answer it, something must be wrong.  Our phone never rings this early.  Anyway it was work, for me,  the incharge said "did you know your suposed to be on a day shift today? first day back after mat leave" (meaning I start at 7am) So I carmly told her what had happened, that I had sorted it out with the boss etc.....  she then said any chance of coming in? I mean really, what did she think I was going to do just dump my child and run straight away to work?   I then said no I couldn't do it I had to take bubs to childcare. 

I am so angry what a great start.  It dosen't really make me look good does it?  I could just scream!!   AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! 

I had planned on going in early anyway, so when I do I will be asking what was the mix up and why wasn't it sorted...  I will be making sure that tomorrow I am on a late shift and the next week as well.   Gees I am so mad!!!!  Soooooooo   Maaaaaddddddddd!!!!!! My blood is boiling and I'm sure my low BP is now a high BP!!!!!

Some times you feel like you have to do everything yourself if you want it done properly.

As Lui said don't fret....it is totally their mistake and sounds like they need to be more organised.  They know the score, you have a child to organise, you can't just jump when they want you to.

Hope they get their act together soon

Thanks Julie,

all easier said than done, one can not just willy nilly turn up.  But hey if it there mistake then they have to fix it and if I turn up when I should be working and they have me down for the wrong shif then that just creates another problem for them to fix. HeHehehehehehheh    PMSL

Re: Can you believe it????

LOL, don't fret, it is only work... Let them worry about their mistakes, you are only there to make a bit of money for your family and THEY are your priority.  My work expected me back one week, and I didn't even realise and rang them the next to ask for another 6 months off... 

I do think that it is up to an HR department to touch base and see how things are going, and make a plan for your return.  Then you should have an induction day like new people do, and they should follow up to make sure everything is working out... Yeah, you can tell I don't work in HR, and yes, I had a similar experience. 

It can be stressful returning to work, however just concentrate on the really important things and you will be fine.

Tanks Lui,

Yes, it is only work, and it is their problem and they do have to fix it.   I rang at 9.30 to ask what was going on and now it is all sorted, phew! 

Going back was like I had never left LOL

Oh sweetie, that is not good.  I would be taking it up with the boss too and asking why you were told one thing and then they did another thing.

Oh dear,not a good start but then if they had taken a little care it wouldn't have happened. Disappointing when you are let down,you did everything in your power to have it go smooth. Best of luck!

OK - breath and count to 10.   Now  - it will all be ok.   lol  Now that you are de-stressing,  that does sound quite annoying.  I do hope that they sort it out for you.   Try to have an awesome first day back anyway!

Bloody work! I dont think it makes you look bad. They probably didnt save the change into the computer, or changed it around again without telling you. Either way, it's not your fault! Just make sure that they are clear on the fact that you are starting in the arvo tomorrow.

I hope you have a good first day back - even thou the morning wasn't so great.
