Last month my co-worker was furious as fuck that I didn’t report our workers’ days off in the system that calculates their salary accordingly to days missed and sick leaves and stuff, and yelled at me for twenty minutes that I should always do it during the third week of the month because if I do it on the last week it’ll be too late and the workers’ salaries won’t show it that month but a month later and there’ll be problems cause they’ll come in and demand we tell them why their next month’s salary is less and we’ll have to dig up month-old reports to prove they still got the money they should’ve.
So today, on the 29th of March the substitute supervisor of our workers comes in to tell me it’s raining so it’s a special kinda like… it’s not a day off, it’s not a sick leave, it’s when factors beyond the employees’ or employers’ control makes working impossible (like rain). They get a reduced salary for those days and they can go home.
So I tell this sub supervisor that okay, obviously, I’ll give him a form to get the workers to sign so we can show them they agreed to the reduced salary so there are no problems later. I also ask him to tell the workers that this reduction won’t show on their salaries until their April salary.
Obviously, then my co-worker barges in like why wouldn’t it show? So I tell her what she told me a literal month ago, that since this is happening today I can only report it to the system for calculation today and according to my co-worker the 29th of a month is too late. So then my co-worker proceeds to drag me in front of the sub supervisor that I’m an idiot and I’m spreading lies and fear among the workers.
I mean it’s not my fault that the workers will literally not even go to my co-worker with their problems anymore but to me cause she never listens and immediately assumes everybody’s lying to her. One of the kitchen staff like literally always waits for me outside the entrance so she doesn’t have to talk to her, and even the group that is actually exclusively under my co-worker’s supervision comes to me cause I give them the reliable information and not the half-assed bullcrap my co-worker does usually.
It’s not that I’m more naive or that I’m never strict with them, it’s just that I talk to them like normal human beings, maybe my co-worker could try it then she wouldn’t have to hate me for doing her job the way she should.
