Miguel Sanchez Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I remember being young and hearing English people say "poorly", meaning sick. I kept wondering who Paul was and why I was supposed to feel like him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superwell87 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Not sure if this belongs here or in the work colleagues thread however... Not long since had a call from a colleague who is in a different department (housekeeping) asking if I can cover as kitchen assistat tomorrow. I have experience working as a kitchen assistant and have covered in the past. To explain the situation, the care home I work in currently has one KA as the other quit affective immedietly 2 weeks ago. When she is off, housekeeping, occasionally care staff, mostly me covers, mainly after lunch and dinner to help with dishes, but can be there for the full shift they work. I covered two full shifts last week when I was off as a favour to the head chef who I get on with. Meaning I had one day off last week. Cue tonights call that went along the lines of this - "I know you're off tomorrow, but (the second chef) will not work without a KA and we need you to come in, youve just had the weekend off. In a way that's fair enough, however this colleague has also worked as a KA and clearly just doesnt want to cover as she said she has already been asked and is clearly at it. I apogised, but stated I'm entitled to my days off and reminded her that we are short on the care floor at the moment. Cue a hissy fit and me just hanging up the call after this. The housekeeping assistant is just back after 2 weeks holiday. I guess the most annoying thing is, that the call didn't come from management, a CSM (a floor manager for the carers or a department head). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapy FFC Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Every time I now use the self service checkout in ASDA and I add my own bag, the checkout refuses to work until someone has checked my bag as, according to the checkout, the bag is too heavy. This seems to tie in with ASDA putting barriers and in/out gates up in the stores. Looks like they are treating everyone as thieves until proven otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll nip into our Aldi later today to try to hoover up any stragglers. I've still no idea why it appears that 99.9% of crisp manufacturers have, in the last couple of years, stopped making bacon/gammon flavoured big bags of crspis. Shortage of pigs? Health problems? No idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the most annoying thing is, that the call didn't come from management, a CSM (a floor manager for the carers or a department head). I sympathise mate. It seems that you've effectively had to stand your ground against being strong-armed into working today and from what you've said you did well. You're left to feel as it you're the c**t, while it's obviously the person "asking" in the cold light of day. I wouldn't say it's a petty thing, it would concern me longer terms if I were working there. It's tricky as you're happy to be a good member of the team and go that extra bit, but the way the request was framed it turned from asking to commanding you and that's really quite poor. Walking the line between being exploited and being a good employee is difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
