Venting I started working at this
factory, “VT”, in March. I am not new to
factory settings or the social behavior.
I work 12 hr shifts, on a rotation schedule. I work 2 days on, 2 days off, 3days on, 2
days off etc. Also, during the 12 hr
shift we rotate machines every 3 hrs, and get 3 (15 min) breaks. To make my day go faster I
joke around. I even joked one day in our
pre-shift meeting about my name. This is
when I found out my supervisor “A” doesn’t like me. I got called into the supervisors’ office and
she told me that I was being negative. I
couldn’t believe it. A couple of months later when
I was eligible for benefits it was posted for us to go to the office on certain
days. One was my day off and the other
was the day I worked. I live 25 miles
from work. I had plans on my day off to
take my daughter to the doctor. Most
companies have you do work related things on the days you work. I decided to do my benefit meeting during
work hours. This really upset “A”, she
snapped at me during the pre-shift meeting when I asked about going to the
meeting. She snapped something about if
she could find someone to relieve me than I could go. Another co-worker came to me later and said
her machine was down and she could cover my machine so I could to the
meeting. I went to “A” and asked her if
it was ok to do this and boy she really snapped at me than. She snapped that she already had it covered
but nobody had told me that. A month or so later I had a
problem with my benefits and needed to talk to “S” in the office about it and
she said I needed to do that on my break.
For one, 15 min. isn’t long enough to discuss anything and for two, I
have low blood sugar and I have to eat on every break. I ended up making an appointment for my day
off to see “S” about my benefit problem.
I was pretty upset about it because I don’t drive 25 miles to work to
pick up my check on my day off especially the price of gas was like almost $4 a
gallon at the time. This was on a Friday
and on Saturday I was still feeling kinda low about having to make a special
trip down to work for my benefit problem.
I was talking to a new girl about the benefits and how they worked. I told her the same exact thing I was told in
orientation from “S”. A couple of hours
after that I was called into the supervisors’ office and asked why I was being
negative about the company. I looked at
“A” with a puzzled look and asked her what she was talking about. She told me that I was talking about “VT” to
this new girl and she was really upset.
I told her exactly what I told the new girl. “A” said she had already called “M” at home
and I was told to go home and not to come back until I talked to “M” in the
front office. So it is hot outside, I
car pool so I don’t have a ride, I am upset about losing the rest of that day
and the next days wages, plus my bonus for perfect attendance. I go to work on Monday, my
day off, to talk to “S” about my benefits and “M” for why I got sent home. The meeting that day included “M” and
“S”. I was able to tell my side of the
conversation. “M” stated that is exactly
what is said in orientation and “S” agreed with her so it was left that on
Wednesday we would all meet in the office at I have tried the last couple
of months to stay away from “A” as much as I can, and watch what I say. Unfortunately, I got hurt in October, I messed up my shoulder. I actually had to go over “A’s” head to get
an accident report filled out. “M” got
me the paperwork and into the doctor. I
scheduled my doctor visits on the days that I work, this upset “A”. When the doctor told me that I had to do
physical therapy three times a week, I scheduled them on the days I
worked. “A” went to “S” complaining
about it. “S” told me that I was
supposed to schedule the appointments on my days off. Nobody told me that. Last week was thanksgiving. My work days were Monday, Tuesday. I had already scheduled my therapy for
Monday, Tuesday and Friday. So, “S” said
for this week to schedule my appts on my days off. Ok, so this all happened on that Monday. On Tuesday, I got a new therapist. She found the muscles in the front of my
shoulder were pretty tight and needed to be stretched. She gave this towel to put in my armpit to
help stretch the muscles out and to help support my shoulder. I take this towel back to work and a
co-worker helped me shrink wrap this towel in place to I can use both arms and
still get the support I need. This lasted
about an hour. “A” for some reason
didn’t like that. She came and got me
and we had to go to “S’s” office. (“M”
must have been on vacation) “S” called the doctor’s office, (which he hasn’t
got the physical therapist report yet), and asked him about the towel and he
has no idea what she is talking about and says “no” that I don’t need it. I am than told to take it off. I tried to explain what the PT said but “S”
said they weren’t the doctor and end of discussion, and if I had a problem than
I could go home. I than went to the
break room and took off the towel and went back to my machine. A couple of hours later, “S” comes out on the
floor and asks me how things are going.
I asked her if I could have it in writing about what happened in the
office she told me “no”. If there was a
problem to call the doctor. I than told
her what the therapist said about my shoulder and why I was suppose to wear the
towel. “S” than had the look on her face
like “oh shit, what did I do”. Later that day I was informed
by a couple of other employees that “A” was in the supervisors’ office talking
bad about me. By this time I am feeling
like I am being harassed by “A” and she is trying to hinder my recovery. So I had Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday off
but I called in Saturday and Sunday. I
felt that my job would be safer if I didn’t work until I talked to “M”. Ok today is Monday, and I
went to therapy on my day off. I than
went to work to pick up my check and to talk to “M”. The receptionist called “M” to see if she
could talk to me and she said for me to talk to “S”. Of course, I didn’t since she is part of the
problem. I am not for sure where to
turn now. I know that I am feeling like
some one has kicked me to the curb. I
have tomorrow off and I have to go back to work on Wednesday.

I am still trying to figure out this new blog site. When I first started with Igomogul we had blogger now we have atomword.
If you notice down on the right hand side of this blog there is a place called categories. I can't seem to figure out how to organize my posts. So I guess you will have to check them all out. Sorry for the inconvenience

I try to use the internet to my advantage. I make some money at it but mostly it is entertainment. If I really wanted to and worked at it than yes I would be making a great deal of money. You can say I am "lazy" but I call it "life".
I am not for sure where to start so I guess I will start at the beginning. Last December I got involved with igomogul. This is where this website started. I have made a few bucks off of it but mostly I just use it to ramble my opinions and likes and my former life in the candy factory. While I was trying to advertise this website I have came across many more websites that I have found to be interesting, and very friendly. I have made new friends along the way. http://r.yuwie.com/trolligirl1995/ Free!!! http://www.web2upgrade.com/trolligirl1995 Free!!! http://www.web2wow.com/trolligirl1995 Free!!! http://www.freedom.ws/trolligirl1995 $10 a month https://join.zenzuu.com/trolligirl1995 Free!!! http://www.mypowermall.com/Biz/Home/89402 Free to join, than the only money you spend is what you order from your shopping mall, or if you want to have a world changer mall. foggiestclue.com/trolligirl1995 Free!!! There are more sites that I belong to be I am not as fond of them as I am of these. My power mall is my favorite. My kids have their own malls also and make about $25 each a month right now. If I would actually work at it than we could be making a whole lot more. Maybe this winter when I can't work outside than I might be able to promote it better. The intro video is what sold me. Even if you are not interested in it at least go to the website and watch the video. If you have any questions or other sites for me to check out let me know in the comment section.
