I just Started working in a warehouse, and my only serious problem is that it's percentage based. The noise is not a huge issue since they let us have earplugs. Lights are so high up that it doesn't but me too much.
but the bus shuttle that we are able to take in order to get home, is the absolute worst time for me. The driver expects things to always be his way with no inconvenience to him what-so-ever. Allow me to explain: 1) i have not told anyone at my workplace of my AS diagnosis ( i dont need that hassle right now), 2) its a solo job for the most part and great, 3) there's lots of interaction on the bus.
Once, i signed up for the shuttle and when it was supposed to come at 11:15pm, i waited till 11:35 pm to ask where it is. I went to one area where i was familiar with the person. As they get the another guy who deals with the driver more and tells the story things are quickly figured out that he's not only not where he should have been, but also skipped out on part of his job. So as upset that i am getting home way later than i should, i figure it's not a huge deal. So i wait. at 11:50 the driver finally shows up. Then when he gets in the van he starts informing everything i did wrong. that there's a problem (but he's not upset about it) and that he was having dinner. i should have listened to him previously when he mentioned his phoine number was on the sign in sheet and that i should have called him. Granted maybe if i looked i would have seen his number there, but i defend myself that it would not have been an issue IF he showed up at his job like he should have.
And just when i thought that was enough, i worked late one night and went home via cab since i missed the bus shuttle that very night. and i forgot to scratch out my name. Which i fully admitted to when i was confronted on this subject the next day. Issue being that it was in the van with 3 other patron inside as well. I don't do well with confrontation and i have been keeping calm about it. but that leaves the fact out that i am the only one who apologized as well as the only person who is getting blamed. It was not the best time. Especially since i was playing on my PSP in order to just relax and i was told to stop playing on my phone and pay attention. Lovely, so i got even more defensive. Now normally the bus would drop me and the other 3 people off at the bus station first, but since the driver is "not upset" with me, apparently the driver only rewards good behavior and not punishes bad. I have to admit that i am glad i turned mute on the bus shuttle cause i have a very hard time understanding that kind of illogical and hypocritical statements.
Today i finally told HR about the issue as well as the past situation and they said they would launch an investigation. But i am amiss if i feel right about the situation. so i needed to write about it. Because i had enough of being berated and belittled, just does not mean I enjoy having a situation blown up and involving so many people in order to fix things.
Comments or suggestions appreciated.! !.
