coworker trying to get me made redundant
19 Aug 2024, 8:00 pm
Hi, you explain this very well. In fact, I wish our family, friends, and supporters better understood that for many of us on the spectrum, the “easy” jobs are hard, and vice versa!
Hey, I think it’s okay for you to break the social “rules” and not respond to the content of what tattle trouble tom is saying. For example, an all-purpose, neutral, “Hey, how’re doing,” just like you might give any co-worker you barely know.
And if it seems like you need something to say, how about “I was over at Walmart, can’t believe how early they got their Halloween stuff,” just as a complete non sequitur.
Please note, if he’s used to getting a “rise” out of you, he may up the ante before giving up. Even with the most skillful neutral and minimal statements on your part.
And keep walking. Don’t let him cement you to a spot.
And good luck. Like you say, it is a s**tty situation.

update:
past couple of months, home depot drastically cut the hours for me and many other part time employees. from about 30 to about 15 hours a week. thank buddha, i ain't got neither kids nor car. otherwise, i would not be able to afford this BS.
october 2023, Tattletale Tom had the nerve to bark @ me "Why are you here? You push a couple carts and you disappear. If you don't wanna work here, work somewhere else!". (rolls eyes). I was so afraid tattletale tom was having sex with the boss, i did not answer. ("Anything you say can and will be used against you.") f**k Tattletale Tom!
home depot has also been micromanaging me (@ least, more than usual). a couple weeks ago, my supervisor had the nerve to tell me not to go behind the building anymore. since then i have not done so b/c "at will" employment and if I get made redundant it will take a longfuck time and energy to get the next job. (fear). i've been anal retentively going "by the book". a previous supervisor told me not to wear gym shorts to work and even though she hasn't been my supervisor since for half a year, i haven't worn gym shorts either. (intimidation). a different previous supervisor told me to take break one two hours after clocking in and i have done that, every time, since then. and last week, when i started break @ 4:41pm, even though i was off @ 5, (as usual), and head cashier Angela D questioned it. so then yesterday (sunday) i took break 2 @ 4:00 instead, b/c you are not supposed to take break the last 15 minutes of your shift. (even though i ended lunch @ 3:00pm).
Tattletale Tom does work, but he's often wasting more than one hour standing around flapping his trap @ other employees.
It appears that tattletale tom hasn't micromanaged me since october 2023. thank buddha. but he hasn't apologized and he still works there.
Yesterday, Tattletale Tom said that Lot Attendant Joe did not come to work that day, and that if Lot Attendant Joe quits, Tattletale Tom is going to "reconsider." s**t, I hope they both get made redundant tomorrow. But, if tattletale tom is having sex with the boss, nothing he does will get him made redundant.

update:
today, i had just put a lumber cart somewhere. (last week, head cashier angela d told me that i could put the carts there.) tattletale tom had the nerve to snap @ me. (he didn't raise his voice, but his tone sounded so suppressed, like he was doing his "best" to keep his anger from coming out of control). Captain Ass Hole had the nerve to growl @ me to put the cart somewhere else. (he pointed. the location he was pointing to was only a couple of feet away from the place where i put the carts.) so i moved the cart over there. "go push carts!" Captain Ass Hole had the nerve to bark @ me.
today and yesterday, after his lunch, captain ass hole was standing next to the food cart, wearing an apron, eating. i am pretty sure eating on the clock is not allowed (unless your boss tells you to eat).
Captain Ass Hole did not physically touch me, nor has he ever done so before. however, afraid that he will, b/c it takes so little to set him off. always "waiting for the other shoe to drop." captain ass hole acted like he was so *self righteous* and "holier than thou". he thinks he's so f*****g awesome and smart and he acts like i know nothing. f**k that ass hole!
"pick your battles" is good advice, but some annoying lil dipshits, such as captain ass hole, pick ALL the battles. (rolls eyes)

(rolls eyes)
Besides, three years ago, the former Paint supervisor said that, he told his associate that the associate was "lazy" and the associate (allegedly) pulled a knife on the supervisor and tried to hit the supervisor with a forklift. the supervisor said it was all on videotape. the (former) store manager told the supervisor that the supervisor was on Leave of Absence and got a phone call from the Workplace Violence Committee. the supervisor said that the company settled the matter, by assigning the supervisor to the Plumbing department while keeping the associate in the same job.
"at will" employer". if i tattle on Captain Ass Hole, for all i know, maybe the boss will have the nerve to make my worthless corpse redundant. i do not know if Captain Ass Hole is having sex with the boss. besides, i *really* do not want the company to put me in a different department, s**t
f**k that ass hole!

Update
That Captain Ass Hole got employee of the month. (Rolls eyes)
Maybe he's having sex with the boss.
Employee of the month awards have been going on since March 2023 and this is the first time a lot attendant got it
Lot attendants joe, Roy and Daniel work much harder than tattle tale tom and they don't put on unnecessary drama
It's such a trivial thing but I am jealous he got the award and I didn't s**t

yesterday, Captain Ass Hole was standing around talking to customers for most of his shift. 75-95 degrees fahrenheit hot as f**k. while i was sweating pushing carts. then that idiot came out and had the nerve to bark @ me b/c i was walking down the bays and not immediately toward the carts (which is not against any rules of home depot or anything like that). yeah well captain ass hole did not push any carts while he was busy flapping his stupidass trap @ customers, s**t.
(rolls eyes)
Thank Buddha, I do not have to work @ McDonald's. if i worked @ mcdonald's, captain ass hole could be six feet away for me for forty hours a week and lazy white boy steve could be six feet away in the opposite direction. and then i would have to work forty hours a week each at mcdonads and burger king, s**t. b/c: room, board, utilities, transportation, and health insurance costs skyrocketing.

update: yesterday, in the breakroom, tattletale tom had the nerve to ask lot attendant Roy, "aren't you supposed to be on the floor?". head cashier alicia told tom "roy don't start until 11:30. (my name) starts @ 10."
all this time, i just thought i was the only one that tattletale tom had the nerve to micromanage. but he micromanaged roy too. who else is he micromanaging and how long has he been micromanaging them?
for some reason, that makes me feel better, b/c i know that the micromanaging has nothing to do with my autism symptoms or anything like that.

"Howard Schultz violated labor law by telling employee ‘if you’re not happy at Starbucks, you can go work for another company’ " In 2022, Schultz allegedly made that statement.
October 2023, Tattletale Tom had the nerve to tell me "Why are you here? You push a couple carts and disappear. If you don't wanna work here, work somewhere else!". (rolls eyes). and i didn't answer because i was afraid that tattletale tom was (is) having sex with the boss. (nepotism, junior high school)
