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

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.

I would laugh. And eat the paper. And then take a dump and put it in his / her office drawer.

wow not only is that frivolous and retarded on their part but they actually think it was the right thing to do for you not to correct him... i have an idea when that guy misses something or makes a mistake, don't point it out so he ***** himself over, if he says shit tell him that ur not allowed to correct him and leave a smartass remark to make it stick like "well what u say has to be correct if i can't say that its incorrect" or "look at mr. i'm always ******* right, now" (I personally like the last one lol)

This is exactly why I hate the business world. Just because someone is a superior to someone else, does not mean that the superior is always correct in every situation. If a person does something incorrectly, they should be informed, regardless of who is informing who.

I dislike companies that have such pusilanimous policies such as these. To think that in this economy you can get fired for correcting someone is ridiculous. Ugghh it annoys the poop outta me.
