make the beast with two backs this place

[ducpainter]

I just copied all of the security entrance "swipes" for the IT manager and the HR director.
It shows a disturbing trend of not being available during their scheduled work hours.

I also enjoy the fact that literally every 30 minutes unless she is in a meeting, the IT manager goes on a cigarette break.
I don't have a problem ith smokers at all but the fact that she spends literally 1/4 of her day on smoke breaks is a bit beyond what would be considered fair.

I am amazed at the stuff you find when you dig a little bit.

I am quite looking forward to speaking to the representative from the BSA and see how they feel about this particular situation...sometime within the next 72 hours...

What do the Boy Scouts have to do with this?

Just had a thought...actually, I have had Fight Club running on my second monitor and the part where "Jack" informs his boss that he will be working from home from now on struck a chord...

"This is the list of shit I have on you. I will be working from home from now on. And you will continue to pay me my salary as normal. Otherwise, this list may happen to fall into a certain largest software company in the world's legal department's hands..."

"BSA"= Business Software Alliance. Them's the folks that as don't like them there software piratin' peoples yonder.

Dude, spying on your Manager is a great way to get yourself fired.............


Pulling her swipes?


That's a bit creepy and would NEVER take that into a meeting with anyone..........


You are making it seem you want her job, so are digging dirt up on her to get a result.


You are walking a thin line buddy. Be careful for what you wish and hope for.

He already posted he has admin rights and accessing that info is part of his job.

You are lucky that you have skills, resources (f.u. $), and smarts.

I'd walk.  Life is too short to be miserable at work.

One, what Nate said. I am asked almost daily to pull up punch times for drivers, sales people, other office departments. I have also been put in charge of setting security rights for people as well as setting up their alarm and building access.

And two, to display the rampant double standard that "management" is not held to the same standards as "normal" employees.
I have a friend here who is the manager of our shelf set and sales analytics team. He was ordered by HR to write up one of his employees for coming in late one day...ONE day. First and only time he has ever been late. Jeremy asked the HR director why he was writing him up when he, himself, had been late on far more occasions...that it didn't "feel" right. She told him that he would write him up or she would see to it that he was replaced with someone who would and that, "The same rules don't apply to you...you're management."

The HR director has had 5 jobs in the last 4 years. I know high level management at 2 of those 5 places and they both stated that she was let go because her tactics and dictates were "too extreme".

[ZLTFUL]

I know I focus alot on the IT manager. I don't want her job. It involves way too much time under the HR director's desk.

I do it because she is the person I have the most direct contact with and see the shit she pulls on a daily basis.

Our Grocery Store Sales Manager and C-Store Sales Manager are both similar in that they are fawning and boot licking douchenozzles.

There are a couple more "managers" who are the same way but the vast majority have serious issues and reservations about the double standard. In fact, I have 2 managers who are willing to give testimony to the state of things. Neither of them want to lose their jobs but both of them believe it is the HR director and not the owners.
Alot of drivers have gone over HR's head directly to the owners and have gotten things done. But the lasttime I did that was for an explanation of a decision and I got yelled at...publicly...in front of 17 people for simply asking why we weren't going to be purchasing a backup for our most business critical system. So I have no desire to give the owners an opportunity to resolve this.

Honestly, it's just this location anyway. When I go to our other locations, I feel like I am working for a family owned business where every employee is important and means something in the overall scheme of things. Here, I feel like everyone is treated as some nameless and faceless drone who needs to do their joband just shut up.

I mean something has to be wrong when the drivers voted nearly 90% to unionize. You don't unionize if you are being treated fairly in the grand scheme of things.

[ZLTFUL]

Oh yeah...I forgot to mention one very vital and important fact...

There are currently 7 pending lawsuits against the company with the HR director being co-sued specifically.
These lawsuits are from employees who have all been terminated by the current HR director for various reasons.

One was fired because she "no longer could perform job duties required by the position". Um' retard...she broke her ankle sipping on ice in YOUR parking lot on her way to her truck! She was fired while working her way through physical therapy.

Another was fired for "hostile attitude towards the HR department".

And yet another was fired because he was using his personal cell phone for work. He was religious about answering the phone from 6am to 6pm but between those times, he would shut his phone off. Alot of guys around here do that. But because HR did not like this person (he had been working for this company since 1976) and she was unable to get hold of him after hours about one of his employees, she made up some story about him using his work vehicle for personal use and having an extramarital affair in his work car. Completely untrue. Jeff left his work vehicle here after hours and walked to and from work every day and is MADLY in love with his wife.

Recently, a driver gave his notice. During his exit interview, he stated that the reason he was leaving was because he was tired of HR making up new rules whenever the situation warranted it. He sai he was tired of tiptoeing around every day wondering when he was going to get fired for a new rule that was implemented that day.

I have spent the last 2 yearsbeing unbiased and ignoring a lot of shit that would have driven people out long ago. All in the name of "the economy". Well, to put it bluntly, I am tired of watching shit hit the fan over and over again and not doing anything about it.

[ZLTFUL]

Oh yeah...one other thing Jud...listed in my employee file is my direct supervisor. It is listed as the 2 owners that run this location not the IT manager. I think that puts us on the same level and equal footing.
Any time I have ever gone to her for approval of a project, I get directed to the owners.

I agree! make the beast with two backs this place!! I'm too lazy to read through 4 pages of people ranting about it. I hope I didn't miss anything. 

[cyrus buelton]

I was just throwing in my two cents Ryan.

I just think unauthorized viewing of another employees swipes isn't ethical. I am sure you do have proper access and you pull swipes, but probably at the instruction of HR, a supervisor, etc etc.

Agreed your company is a bit shady and I hope you get resolution.
