The Workplace:

I was trained by a man who’s been working for 30 years. I’ve learned everything from him. I can even do more work with less effort, in less time. I’m not trying to “out do” or be the best, I just try to do what is expected of me. Why is it when everyone seems to get over….I become the scapegoat? Today, no….this morning. I was confronted by the man who trained me (this is my 3rd yr…), about “Are you trying to prove something?”

Confused I replied, “What the hell?”

Apparently he thought I was trying to send a message about the previous worker from second shift (I work third.), and how he’s handling his duties. All in all i’ve been feeling singled out, and I pretty much had enough of it…….I lost my temper…so I told him we had nothing to talk about, and good bye… He proceeded to follow me, needless to say words exchanged and I broke the window on my car.

I feel like i’m going to f something up every time I go to work, why?!

The gm is fine with me, corporate is fine with me……I don’t get it….

    Well they are all jealous you shouldn’t stop doing your best just because they think you are doing perfect. If you like the job you should demand respect just keep doing your best. Forget what they have to say. Blow it off. but if you are working there just because keep the job but look for a better one that will appreciate what you do.

    Hey Pardner Relax, It could be that the folks that gave you your training are on their way out and feel a little left out “if you get my drift”. If you think about it——remember who got you where you are and say it! So many people want to take all the “bows” credit and leave their real people behind. Give it a try—-see if the old timer doesn’t warm up to you and you will have him behind you! I am with you! Greg
