Yes, but I guess what her husband doesn't want is her working out of the home
She just called me and told me that she is on her way. If she gets here by 11, then I can be at work by 12, 2 hours late. I called my boss this morning to explain to her that I am sorry, I know this looks bad, I am working on getting an alternate babysitter or daycare and basically this is out of my hands right now. My husband couldn't take off because he has a prenatal class to teach this morning, and basically I am stuck. She said she understood and knows that I am trying. Well, I just called to tell her that I am on my way in a few, her mother answered the phone (she works there too, but her daughter owns the company) and I asked to speak to my boss, and she said "what do you want?!" I said to tell her I am on my way in a few. She then said in a harsh tone "so, you won't be here till after 12 then!?" I said I should get there right at 12. Then she hung up. Now, the daughter owns the company, and the mother is just an operator like the rest of us, but you would never know that. She acts like it is her company and her daughter lets her get away with it. I am in tears right now, because I don't feel I deserve that treatment. I get to work on time, always work extra. I am late maybe once every couple of months. They just hired 9 new people because we are getting another large cruise ship account (by the way, I work at a call center/ answering service), so everyone there is getting a little nervous, because we are doubling our staff. I asked my boss on Tuesday if anyone's jobs were in jeopardy, and she said no, she overhired because she is expecting 3 maybe to work out. But, that still doesn't stop her mother, who I might add has complete job security, to rub it in our faces.
I am just steaming and I just want to get to work. Thanks for listening.
