It's always a shocker when a company changes their employee handbook...there is always an up roar about something in the beginning. What pisses me off is that the 'Man' can create written rules, but then verbalize extensions to those rules that contradicts what is written & there's not a damn thing you can do about it. It's not the rules that bother me - I get it - it's when the 'Man' is being a prick just because & you have no choice but to go along with it because you can't afford to not work. While I understand it may be a petty thing, but the principle behind it is a much bigger issue. It's about the issue of people in power, the games we all have to play & the bs that goes with the corporate world.
Like John Mayer sings "...it's not that we don't care; we just know the fight ain't fair...". What else can they just "verbalize" & assume that we should already know when it's no where in the handbook & get written up for? That's my main concern. It is not like I go out of my way to break rules - hell, I hate getting in trouble & I hate disappointing others.
I also find it highly inappropriate for upper management to sit around a table bashing an employee when the employee did not know they were doing anything wrong in the first place. It's funny how rules/guidelines are put into place, yet there are different expectations depending on your rank.
I know this is human nature - I know it's a losing battle - it is just really frustrating & I don't understand people.
That's all.
