Hey guys, how's everything? Enjoying the summer now that its getting really nice and everything? I know I am ^_^ Hope your weekend went well and all, cuz mine started out nice but ended up sucking big time ><
As of now, at my wedding reception job I am no longer a supervisor. My co-workers told me on Saturday when I had just barely started my shift as they were all upset and wondering how I was taking the bad news. And you know...I was at a complete loss because no one had even talked to me about this. It came totally out of the blue. I was pretty shocked let me tell you, because, ironically I was supervising that night!! They told me that the co-ordinator was gonna break the news to me, but they were all really surprised that I wasn't informed of this yet. I took the news pretty well after that though, cuz I was pretty mellow and everything, and my co-workers were all worried about me and how it was gonna go down later when I had to talk to the co-ordinator. To make a long story short, aftter I was done I had to find her, cuz she wanted to talk to me. And so, the co-ordinator told me that as of now I would no longer be a supervisor so I didn't have to worry about those duties or anything anymore. I pretended to be all shocked and everything, but what really pisses me off was the reasoning behind the demotion....
We'll take it back on sunday a couple weeks back where everything went smoothly except that the special plate for someone who was allergic to eggs and the vegetarian plate didn't go out. She was all bitching at me and everything, but when she went after my servers and yelled at them, I just couldn't take that crap. I'll take the blame and the heat for everything, so don't take it out on my servers! And from that, was basically why I got demoted back to being a server. It'd take too long to explain the whole sunday ordeal, but that was the main reason. I was fine with it Saturday night, but the more I think about it as the days go on, the more pissed I am about the whole stupid situation! On top of that, my co-worker got fired last week cuz of this misunderstanding. >< There are 4 reasons why I'm still mainly pissed about, and they all stemmed from the co-ordinator's obviously prepared speech on why I'm demoted:
1) The sunday incident but she also mentions that there were other problems before. WTF?!!!! There is only one other incident that I can think of and that was the african wedding that proved disasterous even before they got married!! And why didn't anyone say anytyhing to me about that then huh?!
2)She and the other supervisors agree that I shouldn't be supervising. Come on, when did she have the time to really get together and have this little discussion? There are only 3 other supervisors, and I could only think of one who she could've had the talk with about me, and I can't believe that the other 2 would agree!! Have they no faith in me whatsoever? And don't the server's opinions count? How about the manager?! Maybe it's because I get along so well with them and that we're all friends and they know they'd back me up no matter what....I dunno...><
3)Ardith said that I didn't want to supervise anyway. Ardith is the supervisor of whom I was referring to earlier. Nobody likes her supervising, and whenever I'm serving or something in her room and she's supervising, heck I do most of the work that she's supposed to be doing anyway! Geez....and why would she say something like that? I've never discussed if I like supervising or whatnot with her before! ><
4)They never gave me a chance to defend myself, or protest ever the decision. They're decison was final, it didn't matter what I said. And that really irrates me the most. I had to really hold back on a lot of things, really restrain my tongue otherwise I'm pretty sure I would've got my ass fired for sure.
And that pretty much sums it up. I just really had to rant on about this because I was getting more and more irritated as I thought about it as the days went by. I work there this saturday. I'm not sure what I'm gonna say to any of the supervisors yet, but i'm gonna tell my co-workers what went down and everything. I'm fine not supervising, as they're not reducing my pay, but the reasoning just pisses me off. *whew* Ok, I'm done now. Just had to get that off my chest XD. Hope you guys have a good day! Cya later then! ^_~
