I Quit
Posted On 05/02/2008 01:24:42 by littlemama

  Well I quit my job today. When I got to work yesterday nobody would speak to me,not even the girl I was paired with for the day. They all gave me really dirty looks when I walked in to punch my time card and continued to do so all day. Today was a repeat and worse.

  At lunch time one of the women asked me to eat outside with some of them so I obliged. No sooner than I sat down she began telling me that she felt bad for me. I asked what she was talking about and why everyone was acting so strangely. So,the group-3 woman and the maintenance man went on to explain.

 The woman who had been training me (neice to manager) apparently went to the manager and head of room keeping to tell them a bunch of poo that wasn't true about me and that I wasn't doing my job etc. I asked the group why she would do something like that... well,apparently on Tuesday when one of the 817c#3$ male friends stopped in to bring her lunch by I shouldn't have spoken to him. She told our coworkers that I was flirting with him and all over him. That is not true! We talked about Nebraska since I am from there and he has family in the area, the weather,and what there was to do in this place for fun. He stayed through lunch hour and we just chatted,nothing other than being friendly. She chose to stay out of the conversation and didn't even eat with us or tell him goodbye when he went over to ask when she was getting off of work. They aren't going out,as a matter of fact she introduced him as her "friend of the family". So,she got pissed that I carried on a conversation with him. Then,she ran to her aunt to make up a bunch of lies pertaining to my work and suggested I be fired due to it.

  According to the few that told me this,it isn't the first time she has gotten someone fired. Anyway, tomorrow morning at the monthly meeting the manager was planning on canning my ass. At first I didn't believe it but the gal that assists the manager said she already read the complaint sheets from the 817c# that was lying about me. So,today when my shift was over I told everyone goodbye,and the boss that I would not be back to work. When I told her why she just replied "My neice would never lie to me about anything,now who should I belive"?

  I was sooooooo furious I wanted to knock her out of her chair,and I am an anti violent person!!!

  That's what I get for trying to overcome my "shyness" and be friendly with someone for a change! I should have seen it coming,I'm cursed when it cimes to associating with the opposite sex. In my case nothing good ever comes of it,lol!!!

Look at it this way, you didn't do anything wrong, and you were very assertive and positive in telling them your side of the story and leaving the way you did. If she had any brains the manager would know that just because you don't think someone would lie to you doesn't mean they aren't. Eventually she'll either figure out what a screwed up piece of work her niece is or she'll get sued by someone who can prove they were fired unjustly.

Also, management structure makes a difference too. If the gal who manages the hotel is the sister of the owner and the niece is the daughter, I doubt she'd take your side even if you had video proof. If it's a corporate operation and both the manager and niece are just employees in a medium to largish company then you ought to report this to corporate HR or the top management if there is no HR department.

At least your co-workers clued you in ahead of time and didn't let you get completely blind-sided. They must have liked you at least somewhat to take the risk of telling you. I would say that maybe they should have warned you about the "niece" ahead of time, but it sounds like you weren't there long enough for them to get comfortable that you wouldn't rat them out for telling you the niece was a bitch.

It sounds like this job was just a bad situation and you made the best of it by leaving. Just chalk it up to one of life's little land mines. You'll just never see all of them before they blow up in your face.

Actually, this could be motivation to be MORE social on your next job. I'll bet that next time you'll try being more conversational with your co-workers to scope out the lay of the land right from the start. Often, people like to talk and will spill a lot if you get them alone and just let them go on.
