A position for dayshift opened up at work and I asked the dayshift supervisor if I could take it. He tells me I should talk to my supervisor and get back at him so I did.
My supervisor says it's all good and all, whatever is good for me. So I go back to the dayshift supervisor and tell him it's a thumbs up. So, he says that he has someone in the position and I tell him that's great but the guy has only been around for 4 months whereas I have been there for 3 years. So he hesitantly told me that he'll see what he can do. I know he doesn't want me on his shift for reasons unknown.
So I tell this to my coworker who's not even been there for a year and he says that he's been wanting to go to the dayshift but if I get it, it's all good.
That was 2 weeks ago. Last week he told me that he was swapping with a guy in January and that I have no worries..Ok, worries over what? The place goes by seniority.
During this week, he's telling me that he may get the dayshift before me because he is swapping with some other guy that left and I'm swapping with a different guy.
I tell him that no, that's not how it works. I'm not swapping with anyone in particular, I'm taking whatever opens first.
Now he tells me that he talked to the dayshift supervisor and he tells me that he doesn't want me to get the wrong idea but he thinks he has the first spot that opens.
Him telling me that, I feel as if it's more like, "hey, should I use lube or just come in dry because you're about to get bravo foxtrotted." He's been constantly talking to the dayshift supervisor about him wanting that spot and I only asked once because if I ask once then they should be professional and take care of it so that I don't have to seem like a nuisance by asking on a daily basis.
So I go ahead and talk to the main guy who's over the dayshift supervisor and tell him what's up and he tells me that for sure, I have no worries.
I go back and tell this guy and he's all pissed off saying that I'm stepping all over his dick and shit. Perhaps I am but hey, he's been doing it to me without any respect.
Sorry for the rant thread but fuck man. We were cool and shit and this fucking shitty ass poor managed job can fuck up friendships. It makes people turn against each other and fight for their own rather than being a team and fighting for each other.
