I just took two vacation days off! These are the first vacation days I've taken off in 8 years of my present job. I take a personal interest in doing a good job while I'm at work. I have received accolades for my customer service including member of the year.
On day one of my holiday vacation, my boss woke me with a livid call, blaming me for something I hadn't done. It ruined my whole two days. I was flippin' depressed about it! To add insult to injury the boss said because of MY error that she had to have three managers take care of the problem for ME!
I was trying to discuss what my boss was accusing me of, trying to define that I was not responsible for what had happened and she just spoke over me. She demanded to know when I would be coming to work so we could do what ever needed to be done to be sure the "components of this project are carried out to the fullest."
I said I was on a two day vacation and this is how it starts!? She then said that she didn't know I was on a vacation and that I was to see her Friday (today) to discuss this further.
I called one of my peers at work and left him a rather upset message. I found that he'd responded with a super kind message letting me know that he knew there was no way this problem was on me because of his observations of where the project was before leaving work that day.
I really felt awful, like my hands were tied. There's nothing worse than working for someone who treats you like you're despicable based on an assumption.
In my life, I learned not to play the blame game. If I do something wrong, I share it and get it fixed. I don't want something looming over me that doesn't feel right.
As far as I'm concerned, I just had my vacation taken out from under me based on a boss' presumption.
Thanks you guys for letting me rant. I shall share whatever happens in this meeting, and I'm not expecting anything good regardless of how well I've done my job. I'm feeling railroaded at the moment.
