Stuff That One Might Worry About at Work
I am 56 years old. And i have the pleasure of working with a lot of wonderful young adults. :) I have a nice little job working banquets, waitering, dishing and such.
I no longer have nightmares about federal agents with guns coming after me. [Agents in the "Criminal Investigation" section of the IRS carry guns. Kind of serious, methinks.] I am no longer in the field of income tax.
I do still work, of course!! :) But it's not stressful!!! :) I never worry about work!!!
After work i leave and forget about it!! :) i go have a drink or two. And i'll eat dinner. :) Play on the internet. Then eventually go to sleep.
I do not lie awake in bed at night dreading about the horrible catastrophes that might happen at work tomorrow. I sleep peacefully. Life is good.
Anyways, one of my young co workers, 30, made a bad decision and left work to do an errand. Didn't tell anyone. Didn't clock out. That was wrong.
She is a single mom. And has a lot on her plate. But i will not claim that excuses her!
I'm going to go speak to the head guy tomorrow. Thinking that i'll immediately acknowledge that what she did was wrong. She's definitely in the wrong. She needs to be told that she was wrong.
But then maybe recognize "it's a shame. Because you're a hard worker and you're recognized and appreciated by your co workers. And it would be a shame to lose a strong worker."
My comments might help a bad situation. Or the might not have any effect. So be it.
