Stupid bosses, a rant.

[ValentinesStuff]

I work as a night auditor at a hotel. When I was hired I made it clear that I have bad knees and can't stand for very long. Time goes on. Earlier this year the owner decides to hire a new hotel management company. I don't know if it's related, but the in house manager decided to leave, and a new one was hired, along with a new assistant GM, etc. Today, the new GM along with the new property management company took over. So as I am getting ready to leave, I am told that I need a Doctor's note stating that I cannot stand for extended periods. It's a Saturday morning on a Holiday weekend. Now this has been known to them for at least a few months, but no one could have been bothered to say, "hey we're going to need a doctor's note" any time before this.

I have no problem providing a note, and the previous manager probably should have had ne get one. This though is a completely BS way of letting me know. I honestly don't know if on my next shift I will be able to use a chair, or not. If not I will just be going home.

 

I am honestly considering just looking for a new job, but any of the higher quality hotels have listed a requirement to be able to stand for 8 hours.

 

I'm in a really bad mood now.

Well, you picked the right site for this tale of woe. I saw a bumpersticker that said "A boss is like a diaper; always on your ass and full of shit" QED

I can't stand for 8 hours...  I would fall asleep.

Dumb management. They should have at least specified a reasonable time frame (ie: Within the next week we'll need you to get a note.) I'm lucky enough that I could see my doctor today and probably on the 4thas well, but this is not the case for most people.

Planning to switch jobs myself that doesnt have bosses or supervisors. Tired of dealing with people saying its my fault when i had nothing to do it: petty shit

Been there Char, I had a boss like that. Came in to work one night and he tried to blame me for the previous nights mishaps, I had been only days off for the previous 3 days.. When he continued to insist it was me I quit on the spot and as I walked away I  told him to enjoy working the shift. I found out later that he did, and was fired shortly afterwards himself.
