what is good for the goose, isn't always good for the gander
This is going to be a total work rant! I have been at my job for a little less than 3 years. I have put my heart and soul into everything I do. 110%. Never take advantage. Call when I am going to be late. Work through many of lunches. Stayed WAY past 5:30. yada yada yada...And I feel like they just don't appreciate anything that I do.
I asked for a promotion. Didn't get it. Bad time to ask though, I knew that. They said in April. But then I haven't heard another word. But that isn't even my gripe. Why is it that some people can get away with things that others cant. If you are a certain person or in a certain position (and I am not even talking about high paying executives) you can get away with murder! So many ppl in my company can work from home, come in late, leave early, call out incessantly, take long lunches...But if I tried any of that shit I would get reamed out!
I would maybe understand if it was a seniority thing, but it totally is not. Someone who has been here a few months gets away with all this crap, and I wanted to work from home one snowy day (because my tires were bald) and I get a nasty email saying: I can NEVER do that again and that I put my boss in a bad situation. I am a graphic designer for goodness sakes. I could do ALL my work from home, let alone one measly day. And not for nothing but this one girl pops out a kid and now gets to work from home EVERY FRIDAY. I cant wait for them to tell me that I cant have flex time when I have a kid...
I am just so sick of them playing favorites. And its not even like our company is doing bad because of the economy. We are still 18% above our plan for the fiscal year!! Honestly, what is good for one person should be good for everyone. But things just dont work like that here. It Stinks!
