pissed… and i mean pissed
Thursday, November 30th, 2006i decided to cancel part two of the temporary run of my thursday thirteen due to what transpired yesterday at our staff meeting at work. upper management decided to cancel-slash-withdraw-slash-erase-slash-put off-slash-disregard-slash-ignore all plotted vacation leaves by us from december 22nd to january 7th. the reason being? well, there were too much of us who filed for leaves on those dates that there will not be enough coverage at work. i found that line of reasoning totally unaaceptable. just because many filed for vacation leaves just to be with their families for the holidays and new year's, does it give them the right to just say, "oh the hell with it, let's just ask everyone to report to work on that day and not grant anyone the right to spend the holidays however they want?" that's fucking bullshit!! i'm saying it again, "that's FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!" and to think that there were only few of us who have VL credits left to use for those dates so i don't see any reason why no consideration was given. although majority agreed with the decision (i'm guessing becaue no one reacted, but i think those who wanted, including me, didn't want to because it'll just be futile) some of the faces of my colleagues after the meeting can be easily read, and that didn't show any signs of approval about it. i'm still too emotional about the matter, which is hampering me from talking to my direct manager about it. i mean, they let us plot the days we want to go on VL, and then they will just pull back at the last minute? i plotted my december leaves back in april for god's sakes!! c'mon, going on vacation leave is our right as employees!! if this is sealed with finality, then my goal of having a perfect attendance record for the year will be gone. i did not go to work on christmas eve and new year's eve since i started working in the call center industry and i'm not about to start now. even though i love my job and, as i've said, aiming for going to work for one year without any absences or tardiness, nothing can make me come to the office on those days. no threat of a double occurrence of absence or being given a warning can make me think otherwise. i don't even care if you pay me double or triple on that day, and give me free food for me to come to work, well, you can stick those up your ungrateful asses!! you can make me go to work any other time of the year except these two days. is that too much to ask?!
to say that i'm pissed is an understatement. *sigh* kiss my fucking perfect attendance record goodbye. hooray. yipee.
