my poor hubby


Oh my gosh that poor cat in that picture. hehehehe

My poor husband, was worked to the bone on friday. He did his route out at work, then the "supervisor/boss" told him to go out on the residential route and train the new driver.

The guy that was training her had to leave for St. George (he was a temp) and he told everyone he was over half way done, just had off the hill left to do. Which is about 2 hours worth of work. Gigantor got done with his route at about 3. So....he goes and takes over. Only to find out, the other guy lied. He hadn't even finished half of uptown. So Gigantor was hurrying.

Now Gigantor goes in to work about 5:30 to 6 every morning. Federal law says he's not supposed to drive over 11 hours, corporate law says they aren't supposed to work over 12. At 11 hours, Gigantor started calling boss guy (who went home at 4) and he kept calling and leaving messages, but the fucker wouldn't call him back. Guess what time Gigantor got done with that route?? 7 fucking 30. That was 14 fricken hours.

Oh boss called him at about 8, and I was trying to take the phone from Gigantor, we was gonna have words, but he finally bitched boss man out. Cuz, see, boss man is salary, and he should have gone out and taken the route when his other stuff was done. Instead he just left Gigantor and the new lady hanging. And the biggest pet peeve about boss man is if corporate starts yelling at Gigantor, boss man doesn't say, "well he was doing what I told him too." Boss man tries to make himself free of blame and get the worker in trouble. Gigantor seriously warned him not to even try that crap this time.

Well...on Saturday, I thought Gigantor would just sorta rest. He was so tired he sounded half dead the night before. But he went out and started working on the frame for putting up the skirting. The frame is the hardest part and takes the longest. Kiddo went out and helped him for most the day. D showed up in the afternoon to help. They got over half of one side done.

And on sunday he got the frame up for most of the rest of that one side. And the skirting cut, just needs to be installed. He worked hard, but he felt so good about it. It was something for his own home, and not for the irritating as shit boss man.

I'm interested to find out if anything happens at work today.

Hope you all have a good Monday!!!!

Wow, what a busy beaver he is. I do hope all goes better at work for him. It sucks when you have a jerk for a boss.

Shame but I hear stories all the time like this.
Atleast he could speak his mind. And working on house stuff, while still work is rewarding in other ways.
My hub has a terribly hard job right now. He's running a job where he's responsible for between 20 and 30 workers. Some days in addition to the supervising and working he gets to deal with their drama too. The union contract says he gets more per hour if he's got that big a crew. He had to tell his boss who conveniently didn't remember that was the case.

That boss is a chicken shit.

I would be pissed too.

Burfica said...

just me--yeah and he's young, so he's a little punk too.

crystal--I had to get on him, cuz he was splitting the overtime up on different payperiods. I said, hell no he worked it, you pay him for it.

hammer--yeah he's a little punk bitch.

Poor guy!
My husband is salary and there are no rules for him! He worked 14 hour days all last week! He gets NO BREAK either, none I am not kidding. He has to eat and work and gets to pee, that is it. He is wanting to switch jobs, can't say I blame him!

I love that kitty! It looks like my BFs cat Nutmeg! She was the best kitty ever and didn't have to put up with kids!

burf--awwww, poor gigantor...he deserves a back rub for all that! uhhhhh, from you, not his boss!

Burfica said...

k--that sucks, he does need a different job.

libby--yeah I give him one but he falls asleep and doesn't remember it, then he thinks I owe him one. hahahahah

Busy, busy, busy...i hope he got more rest over the weekend...bossman doesn't sound very nice, at all.

Hope you are well...take care, k.

I hate it when people get taken advantage of like that.
Shawn is paid hourly, or by piece work. If he has a hold up that is not his fault - like material not arriving on time, or the trades ahead of him falling behind, he has to stay and wait it out, but he doesn't get paid for waiting.
It sucks.
Sounds like your Hubby needs a vacation. Or some extra TLC.
