As if being extremely busy lately wasn’t enough…I’ve had to deal with the perverbial office politics and egos this week as well. I HATE that crap!! BUT now…I’m sick on top of it all!! YUCK
Here’s the deal on the office BS…our Controller (or little Hitler as he’s often called around here) decided that HE was going to add to MY job duties. Umm…yeah. So he informed me on Tuesday that I was supposed to be setting up PIN numbers for employees for their fleet (fuel card) accounts at the time of hire.
First of all…I was NEVER informed of any of this before now…and second, I don’t deal with fleet or fuel cards at all! The lady who does deal with that dept., I found out, had already been entering in that information for all of the current employees had NO problem doing it for the new employees…so she and I worked out a system to enter in the new employees at the time of hire. Okay…problem solved right? NOPE!! Little Hitler decided that since it wasn’t being done by ME (the person that HE designated to do it) that it wasn’t GOOD ENOUGH for him!! I do believe he stated that this “is not your decision to make Maria…it’s MINE and you’re just going to have to deal with that”.
I don’t think so buddy!! So I quickly reminded him that HE is not MY supervisor and that I was not informed of this change to my position prior to now and until I’ve discussed this with MY supervisor…I’m not doing shit for him!! He then said, “this has already been approved by Bob (the President) and Jerry (my boss)”. Oh really??? Then why is it that when I called Jerry and asked him what he knew of this…he got really pissed off?? Could it be because he knew nothing of it?? YES …it would be.
So…now, I have to sit in yet another meeting tomorrow with Jerry & Bob to get this matter resolved…when I’d already resolved it with the person that will wind up doing the data entry as it is. What a stupid waste of time and all due to one little man’s big ego problem!!!
ANYWAY…thanks to all of you for your comments and support! I love you guys!!

Egos…who needs them! Hopefully you will get this all straightened out tomorrow. Until then I send you ((((hugs))) and plenty of happy thoughts! Have a good day!
I swear that every idiot within 1000 miles of you finds out where you work and gets a job there. Is this some conspiracy to drive you slowly crazy? Hold your own girl! It sounds like “Little Hitler” needs to be taken down a peg or two….get ‘em Maria!!!!!
‘Sorry you’re not feeling well, but at least tomorrow is Friday and you can rest (I hope) for a couple of days.
-Lorie-
meetings… ewwwww hope you get to relax this weekend and hope you feel better soon. get some pampering this weekend.
Lets hope you get it sorted out once and for all
little Hitler?? woooow. i have one too. hehe. they suck.
hope all gets better!
have a good one!
I certainly hope that you get this matter straightened out…….and the way you want it! I hate it when work gets added and nothing is added to the pay check!
There is always one rotten apple in every company and it pulls the moral down to the bottom rung
Ice cream still helps.
Ugh! Little Hitler must be throwing his weight around to compensate for some insecurity. What an asshat! I’m glad that you are taking a stand and not letting him get away with that crap. Bravo!
God sounds like the controller is a moron on a power trip. I think we all have to deal with those at some point or another unfortunately. At least you stood up for yourself and gave his ego a good shove back into place.
I’m just glad you didn’t deck him, though he deserved it. We still need you to keep that job for awhile– but enough is enough! I love you
