Am i overreacting here?
Okay so first thing that bothers me. It is when i am sick (rarely) and really have to call out management presses me about a doctors note and threatens to write me up. While all my other coworkers tell me they are never asked for doctors note (which often they lie, i follow them on instagram, they say they are sick and post pictures of doing fun shit outside).
Second thing, other coworkers mainly one (my boyfriend lol) has a second job and often are 1 hour late to work because “got stuck at my other job”.
Those mfs often ask me to work on my days off and sometimes 6 days a week.
It started bothering me last week when my second job had a grand opening and i said i would be late but would not happen again since we just had to stay late for the first opening day. They gave me whole speech about it, ok.
Today, i was transporting a bed on my car, bed fell on the highway and i was stuck there for 3 hours trying to figure out the situation. Texted my job asking if maybe someone could help me with their truck, their answer? “Can you cover your shift” okay. I asked to be one hour late for obvious reasons. Was answered with short messages and attitude saying that it was absolutely not okay and i could come at least 30 mins late.
That just straightforward pissed me off. I walked and had a whole conversation with upper management on how the rules are not being applied the same to everyone (yes mentioned names) and that i really wanted to get the same kind of understanding other employees are having. And that it upsets me how they asking me work 6 days a week, but when i need understanding i am treated this way. Her answer “i understand where you are coming from but it is none of your business how we treat other employees, boundaries are different, i always follow the rules” i said “well we are all employees doing the same job for the same company, and honestly the rules are not being applied equally behind the bar”.
Like am i overreacting here?
