Work: OK Stephanie, whatever

OK Stephanie, whatever

By yankeebelle - 06/03/2009 00:15 - United States

Today, a co-worker superior to me called me "Stephanie" yet again. My name is Ashley. I politely informed her that my name is Ashley and subtly pointed to my work ID. Later, I get called into my supervisor's office. I got written up for correcting someone of higher status than me. FML

Today, my boss called me Ashley. My name doesn't even start with an A. I even wear a name tag. You would think after nearly four years, your boss would remember your name. Every time he speaks to me, it's a different name. FML

Today, I was given my marching orders because I corrected my supervisor on something he was actually doing wrong. It seems I deserve this for "not learning to obey my immediate superiors." FML

Today, my supervisor told me off for doing something. When I reminded her that she told me to do it, she yelled at me for correcting her. FML

The luck of the draw

Today, my supervisor was in a leadership meeting pulling random calls for quality. Mine was chosen. He got excited and told them my stats and how I put him to shame with how I drive my team, that I'm the best and this call is going to be amazing. I was then written up for arguing with a customer.

Today, I was in a work meeting because our clientele is unhappy with our service. I was in there because I don't correct our customers when they get my name wrong. My name is Blane, but "Blair", "Blake", "Lane", and "Glenn" got rave reviews. No one picked up on this. I hate my job. FML

Today, my boss finally pronounced my name correctly. My name was then followed by the words, "You're fired." FML

The buck stops here

Today, my boss threw me out of her office during a conference call for daring to correct her. The client fired the company because she subsequently got all the information on the call wrong, and plainly had no idea what was going on. From all the screaming, this is now all my fault. FML

Great replacement

By Bottom feeder - 08/01/2016 03:41 - Hong Kong - Ngau Tau Kok

Today, my boss dropped a highly important and dense report on my desk that had to be finished by the end of the day. After the initial panic attack and hours of scrupulous work, I finished. She then asked me to pick up the revised copy, where my name was replaced with hers. FML

Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML

She's just looking for a power trip. I'd tell your boss the situation. Such a silly reason to get a write up. Its not your fault she can't read.

That's awful. I mean really, are we barbarians? What if the higher-up had made some fatal mistake, are we not supposed to correct them on that? Also, it is just a tiny thing like what someone's name is. It's an important thing to make sure one's superiors have all the right knowledge to make important decisions. And when using the term 'correct', it implies that someone is wrong- so there isn't any fault there.

Your supervisor is obviously on a power trip. I would suggest updating your resume as soon as possible. You can rest assured that this won't be the last issue you will have with her.

i agree with #15. shit like this in the workplace never gets better. just worse. there are egos to protect and other ppl don't care about your job, just their own... it's all so gross.
