My job has me so freaking mad

I put in for PTO so that I could go on vacation at the end of this month with my family it's the first vacation I've been on and almost 8 years

I gave them plenty of time to approve the PTO and I kept going to the scheduler and asking her if it was approved or not. And she told me that PTO wasn't approved so I told her if the issue is being paid for the time off just take me off the schedule and I just won't be paid and I will be fine with that I really need the time off

And she told me twice that that was fine and that she took my name off of the schedule

The other day I didn't go into work because I am on f****** vacation. And they're blowing my s*** up asking me where I'm at. I told them that I'm not coming I already told him in advance that I was going to be out for these days. And then my supervisor tells me it doesn't work like that and that she's going to talk to the DON. Well f****** talk to her because I'm not coming and figure out what youre going to do because I'm not coming

Then she never calls me back to let me know what the don said and surprise I did not go to work last night. And they're blowing my phone up again asking you my ETA. My ETA is 518 miles away from kiss my ass

I just spoke to someone just now on the phone and she told me that I should just speak to the DON on Monday and let her know what was going on. Which is fine but now these dumb f****** c**** are going to be calling me every night waking me up asking me where I'm at

I'm not even joking I'm so mad I don't even want to go back I have another job. This place pisses me off so bad with their disorganization and I don't know if you guys remember but I wrote another story once where they wouldn't let me call out when my son got stung by a bunch of bees

What should I do? Am I just overreacting I just get so sick of this company being so disorganized they're an extremely small company there is absolutely no excuse for them to be this disorganized

1) The DON knows what’s going on. His/her opinion of you will be based on your prior track record, not this.

2) You needn’t call. A quick email should do the trick. The scheduler knew what was up. It was clear. Also, they had notice. Their inability to staff (or incompetence) isn’t your problem.

…Guess they’ll just have to go temp or pay a shift bonus… Again, not your problem.

@Adogslife you said it very well. 😊

Just take your time, completely ignore them, and don’t let them ruin your vaca (even if you have to set those numbers to go immediately to VM until you get back.) When you do… things will go how they go and you will know your next steps based on how they react. I would get a better job, though. The time off thing is an issue and you have kids. Love ya, girl. 🖤

@DarkHeaven honestly you're right The reason I'm getting mad to begin with is because I'm feeding into it. I love you whole bunches 🤗💞
@DeluxedEdition you are very special to me and I hope you know that. Please enjoy your well earned vaca. 🖤🤗

Turn your phone off and enjoy your time off. Straighten this out when you get home.
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
@Musicman I think after the second night they got the idea 😉

I'm having so much fun 🥺 I took my babies to Disney world
Musicman · 61-69, M
@DeluxedEdition I hope everyone is having a wonderful time ☺️
This is why I get everything in writing. There's an email trail of every single conversation I have with anyone regarding anything remotely important.
If they call again make it very clear to whoever calls that it's their responsibility to make sure you're not contacted again until your vacation is over. I'd then let my boss know they'll be billed a minimum of four hours for any and all work related business, including phone calls.

You're not overreacting. A representative of their company and their systems told you in advance that this would be no problem.

It sounds like you know the solution, though. You're not coming to work until vacay is over. If they have a problem with it then THEY have a problem.
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
@SinlessOnslaught amen to that 🙌 😊

You work to live. Not live to work. If they can’t figure that out, then you need to find a new place where they understand that simple concept.
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
@carpediem I've already applied to new jobs. As soon as my wonderful vacation is over I will do some interviews. 😉

I think it's time for a new leaf. I want to either do home health or become a MHT (mental health tech)
carpediem · 61-69, M
@DeluxedEdition Good for you. The best of luck to you.

Just put your phone on airplane mode and enjoy. Fuck em' if they can't deal without you. 💯 %

@Montanaman I'm having such a a great time with my babies. I took them to Disney! It's little mans first time. I was really scared because he's autistic that he would hate it and get overstimulated but he's loved every bit of it.

I'm so glad I didn't give in and go to work. My own grandpa told me once I work too much and don't have enough fun 😂

That's not your fault, she should be reprimanded, not you. People are so incompetent lately it's insane. It just creates more stress and responsibility for you. I'm tired of telling people how to do their job. Or calling to make sure they are. Had to call the dermatologist 4 times over the course of 2 weeks so they finally order my prescription. Same with lowering my car insurance.

I would say it's time to look for another job.
RoxClymer · 41-45, M
as one guy I know says, PTO stands for Prepare The Others
I am going on vacation, and if the company isn't prepared for it
that's not My fault
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
Fucking awful. This shit is why I'm a union rep. I hate hate hate how management fuck up scheduling and blame you.
The DON? Is this like a mafia job??? Blink twice for yes.
@MrBlueGuy director of nursing
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
And I wrote this with text to talk bahahaha that's why there's so many 🤩
Turn your phone off and ignore them. You can talk to the DON on monday
Temporarily block the number and enjoy your vacay!!!😊
