I have been noticing a lot of lack of respect for other people lately....and it seems to be everywhere I look.
This week along I've seen name calling, swearing and shoving at the grocery store & CVS. I saw people flipping each other off in the parking lot at the bank....sadly it was both moms with small kids in the car.....nice example.
And I went into work today to find my office literally trashed. I was out on a customer visit yesterday afternoon and apparently the president of the company decided that after 2 yrs of me having a poster on the inside of door covering window looking into my office he didn't like it and rips it down in 3 pcs (I probably only paid $5 for it, but I brought it back from Italy on a college trip as a souvenier and cannot replace it.). It covers a dingy window I'm not allowed to clean because of union maintenance dept but they don't clean it and after a yr I was so disgusted my boss said I could cover it on inside. He ripped framed photos off the walls and tipped over my bookshelf. I realize it's his company but it's my personal property and well it's downright rude. He's a 55 yr old men having a temper tantrum. My boss said he thought it was intentionally directed at me......that he was just upset. I went to HR they said nothing can be done, he is the owner and it's private company so he can do what he wants. I was actually told "If you don't like it quit".
I called DH-I want to quit...but I'm afraid it will look bad to quit and then go somewhere else for 15 months only to move to NC.
I just wish there was more respect for other people in general.

That is absolutely ridiculous!! I can't believe they can't do anything about his behavior. I say find a new job. Don't quit this one until you get another, but 1.5 yrs is too long to be miserable.
ReplyDeleteI am going to talk to DH and see what he thinks. We shall see what happens.....maybe this is a sign.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a jerk! HR may not be able to do something about it but, if he destroyed personal property, the police certainly can. Of course, you'd have to be willing to leave that job. I can't believe that a 55 yo would act like that. Have you talked to him since it happened? I wonder if he would apologize or act embarrassed.
