Okay, so I have to leave to work in 10 minutes, so I am going to try to get through this all.
First off, so that you all know my work environment, I work at Target. I work evenings and have requested a lot of days off because I have gone out of town, had other things to do, etc. I cannot work Mondays and Wednesdays because I have a night class. That leaves Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. When I go out of town, that only leaves me to work Tuesday of that week, and maybe Thursday. Point is, I have missed a lot of work.
One of our operators at work (the gal who sits at the fitting room) has been talking a lot of trash about me to our co-workers. She tells everyone that I obviously think I am too good to work for Target, that I don't care to work, and obviously am too rich to not have to work. Riiiiiiiiight. This girl, woman rather, is really pissing me off!!! She is around 30-ish and is acting as if she were 5.
Yesterday (Friday) was my first time working since Tuesday the week before, so I hadn't worked in about a week and a half. I am walking into the store and approaching the operator's booth so that I could find out what area they put in. Well, as I am approaching the booth, I see about 5 co-workers and the operator gossiping. Come to find out, the operator was talking about me, telling everyone that she was willing to bet that I was not going to go into work. Obviously she was wrong because there I was!
As I was working last night, one of my co-workers asked me if I was going to work my shift tonight because if I was going to call in, she wanted to take my shift. WTF?? Supposedly the operator was the one who told everyone I was going to go into work tonight. Ugh!!
And yes, I have called in on a few occassions and have also had a few no call -- no shows, but those weren't my fault. If you request time off, it is given to you. It isn't my fault that the woman who makes the schedules didn't do her job. It is not my fault that she again schedules me to work on the evenings that I have class.
The operator (gal I can't stand) gets on a lot of people's nerves. She can be your best friend one day and despise you the next. The people she is buddy-buddy with right now are the people she talked about last week. The operator actually had the audacity to ask another of our co-workers, whom I am really close with, if I had something against her. Gee, I wonder!
Okay, this has gotten really long. I have tons more to say, but I need to leave to work now. What I really need advice on is, what should I do? I have never, ever fought in my life, but I am so close to punching this gal, I mean woman, in her face! I am the type to let things slide. I like everyone unless they do something to me personally. I just cannot stand this girl and want to talk to her, but I know she won't listen and she doesn't care about what I have to say. Should I punch her in the face? J/K I seriously don't think I would do that. Ahhh, I am so clueless as to what I should do about this. My biological sister told me to punch her, my mom told me that I am arrogant so there is no reason to dislike the operator for stating the truth, and my dad tells me oh well. What should I do???
Thanks to those who take the time to read this and offer advice.
I am off to work!
