I have just learned the real reason why my previous boss was so bent on keeping me off my machine
So I'm in a weird spot right now where my previous Asshole boss (who says he's resigning but I heard he was fired from being the boss) is essentially helping new boss figure out how things work.
I work on a golf course as maintenance and my main job is mowing around greens and teeboxes as well as areas no other mower can get to for various reasons. And I heard from a golfer that my previous Asshole boss was bitching at my current New boss because I was constantly using my mower and how I should've been doing blah blah blah.
Which makes no sense to me because it's Spring. The grass is basically sprouting up overnight and looking like I haven't mowed it at all which means I have to mow it again. Especially since it would be INCREDIBLY stupid if the Rough around the Fairway was lower than the Rough right next to the Green.
I then heard from my old Nice boss who quit because of said former Asshole boss (yes, it's complicated) that he had also been hearing shit from Asshole boss because...he was sick of hearing my mower.
Asshole was sick of hearing me run this loud ass piece of shit mower that MULTIPLE PEOPLE told him NOT to buy.
Instead he wants to push more work off onto the sole worker cutting the Rough of the entire golf course by themselves. They are barely keeping up as is and his bright idea is to cut back on me mowing my areas and instead give them to the Rough mower. So like instead of me mowing an area like 2 Green then Rough mower does that too on top of all of their current shit.
Meanwhile just last week, my Coworker was asking me to help them cut sections of the Rough so they could actually get it all done on time. Yes, give them MORE things to do when they are barely keeping up with what they already do. Great idea!
I'm honestly still dwelling on the part where Asshole vouched for this brand new machine that I ran for 5 minutes, could tell was a piece of shit, told him that it was shit, he told me I was just exaggerating because I was just used to using the other brand of machine, and now he's apparently mad that we DARE keep use the machine that HE alone wanted.
Nobody ever liked it except him...up until he finally ran it after months of me bitching about issues and literal years of it breaking down all the time, even brand new.
But no, time to get mad and try to make one coworker take on way more shit than they can handle and take it out on others 🙄
I can't wait till he stops being a hovering presence constantly taking out his anger on other people for no reason.
