I turned up late to work earlier this week. Today, the person in charge brought this up in front of the supervisor[supervisor was there for other reasons, but worker mentioned 15mins early is usual so do that, and other day you weren't even here at start time]. I thought this was not a good idea and confronted him about it at the end of day. I try remember summary may have mistakes missed bits but anyway:
The worker in charge reckoned well you were late. I mentioned its not the lateness, its the fact you mentioned it to the supervisor not to me. He says it was only because the supervisor was there this morning for other reasons.
I went back to my car and then thought no, that's still wrong. I went back to him and said no say it to me, not in front of the supervisor
and he arched up back I run this site and will run it how I see fit. If you don't want to be here tomorrow I can call the office. Also reckons doesn't want to deal with me coming over, twice, whinging.
Anyway then he went to the client and came back, and I was about to say call the office if you have a problem. Maybe he didnt hear me and asked what? and i said do you have a problem with me or do you not want me here tomorrow. He reckons no and we had a chat. I said im standing up for myself. He said no you're making an fuckwit of yourself.
Me: Why?
Him: Because nothing came of it. The supervisor today not the big boss[this supervisor is only a couple days a week supervisor otherwise he's a worker if I remember]. You wont get docked pay and there's alot worse things you can do get into trouble besides turning up late. Reckons I'm taking too personally or making a big deal or something like that. He pointed out that, he didn't call me a cunt for being late when supervisor, and also he doesn't have a problem with me like the guy from the other day. Reckons if he had a personal problem with him I'd know. And he asked, has he pulled me aside for anything?
Me: No.
Would you have thought this was overreaction or would done the same thing?
