ARE THEY PHASING ME OUT??

as i mentioned in my previous entry, i was off for 4 days in a row last week.  well, i am currently on my first day of another 4 days in a row off.  i don't understand this.  i realize that from time to time management has to cut everyone's hours, but i cannot survive on 13 hours a week.  there are young people that "work" there that are not carrying their load, but yet they appear to be "phasing me out".  am i being paranoid???  i really don't think i am.  but they are trying to "phase out" the new framer, who had to sit with the textbook open and computer on to pass her certification in the framing dept.  she is nasty to some of the customers and never gets her work done on time. 

i reported the new assistant manager and two young employees for sitting in the office for over 45 minutes just talking........about nothing...........while i was the only one on the floor.  i had customers lined up, there were items that needed to be returned to the sales floor, and they were having a relaxing hour in the office.  last night i worked with the same crew, and it was really different, so maybe something was said to them.  and they don't know it was me that reported them, for they were all very nice to me last night.  i think they think it was the new framer girl.............she didn't like it that night either that they were shirking their responsibilities, so she went into the office and cussed them out.  it was the first time i have every agreed with her on anything...........they deserved a tongue lashing.

i have always been afraid to say anything about anyone else to management due to what you see all the time on the news.........fired due to tattling........fired for speaking out.......whistleblower let go.........etc.  i cannot afford to lose my job. 

ok, i have vented some..........i feel better.  now to pull up and print a copy or two of my resume for faxing to prospective jobs.
