2nd Trimester

Are people really stuck in stupid - Vent

Okay, so at work today, like any other day I had to go to the bathroom about 9 times, and I was also asked to run an errand for another supervisor. On my way back down to my desk I stopped to use the bathroom, since I was already up, and overheard my boss on the speaker phone with another employee. He called my desk and when I didn't answer he decided to call the other employee and ask where I was. I heard her let him know that I was in the bathroom and would be back in a minute, she'll have me call him back. His smart comment back was, if she's having that much problems staying at her desk, then she can just go, home she isn't helping anyone out.

 I have never in 5 years, called in sick or left early just because. I eat lunch at my desk, because oh yes during lunch he calls and expects me to be here. I didn't even take off any time durig the first tri. for being sick, I was here everyday.

 All I can think is, "I'M PREGNANT YOU MORAN, I'M SURE YOUR WIFE, DAUGHTER, AND DAUGHTER IN LAW CALLED OUT AND USED THE BATHROOM WHEN THEY WERE PREGNANT."

 Thank you, for letting me vent.

  • You could always tell him you heard what he said.  Not sure what your boss is like, but saying that would make my boss feel guilty and apologetic, etc.

  • Wish I could insert a 1-2 lb weight ontop of his blader that moves and kicks!! See how he feels about it then!

  • Not to mention UNPROFESSIONAL?! Why would he say that to a third person??? If he doesn't have the guts to say it to you, he should keep his mouth shut.

    I would request a brief meeting with him and let him know that you overheard.  That was completely inappropriate on his part.  He may have been having a bad day or moment (or just be a jerk overall) but, it's not okay to bad-mouth employees or begrudge bathroom useage.

  • I know this is tacky but I am tired and borderline cranky, but I would have to say something like " if you would like me at you beck and call I will be more than happy to come in here to use the restroom." What an ASS
  • Wow- he's a major jerk.
  • I would've been pissed. How can he say you're not helping anyone out anyway. All you're doing is going to the bathroom & you're still getting you're work done. Me being me (shy, introverted, keeps things to myself), I probably wouldn't say anything but I know I'd be giving him the evil eye all the time.
  • Some people can be so inconsiderate.  I'd call him out on it too.

  • Seriously, why are people such dorks?

  • And... if you were in CA, I'd tell you to file a workers' compensation claim against the company for stress/psyche.  I'd get an OB as my primary treater on the claim, and take the rest of my pregnancy off at 2/3 my average weekly wage.  Then, I'd take the settlement once the pregnancy was over and take my time finding a new job.  But, that's just me...  being a tad overdramatic! ;o)

  • I would tell him , that you could hear that and you don't appreciate him talking down to your other co-workers.

     If he has an issue he should talk to YOU
