(+) Yeah! (+)

But remember the ONE time they helped you.


People are ungrateful man.

There's a guy where I work, he must be the most ungrateful person I've ever met. He just keeps complaining that he's not getting what he wants.

There are 3 local sites, a,b, and c. He worked at c, but lives closer to b. My mom is the supervisor/manager, and he asked if he could be transferred to site b instead. He said he'd be ok even working less days just for the convenience of being closer to home. So she talked to some other employees, and managed to figure out a way to get hom on at site b.

Once he's here, he told his wife to quit her job and my mom would work her in too(which was impossible at the time). His wife quit her job, and then they told my mom she had to get her on or they couldn't afford to pay their bills. Just by pure chance, a woman from site a quit, and another was fired, which opened up and she was able to work his wife in.

Then he was unhappy that he was only working 3 days a week, instead of the 4 he had at site c, He kept complaining to my mom that he absolutely had to have 4 days(for the company benefits to kick in). She refused at first, because there was no room to give him another day. He threw such a fit and complained to the other employees so much, that one guy gave up one of his days just to shut this guy up.

Now he's unhappy that his days off are scattered, He wants them to all be grouped together. That extra 4th day was too much for him to handle without a proper resting period. So now he's demanding to swap that day, for someone else's Wednesday(which would screw up that guy's entire schedule, at work and at home). Just so he can the weekend off, like every employee wants. So he's purposefully putting himself, the visitors, and other employees in danger and screwing up his duties and blaming it on his schedule. He's threatening to go over my mom's head to the owners to get the days he wants, claiming that he always gets what he wants no matter what it takes.

He's still causing a ruckus so bad that yet another employee has offered to swap days with him, just to calm him down. It would have gotten him his days off the way he wanted, but he wouldn't have the Wednesday shift he wanted, so he refused. He said it's not what he wants, so he's not going to accept it. Pretty much everyone except his wife are pissed at him, and if he goes to the owner, my mom is going to exp,sin all his insubordination, manipulating, and threats he's made to try and get his way.

And after all she's done to please him, and weeks of constant rescheduling everyone just to suit him, she needed him to work one extra day to cover another employee's vacation, and he refused because he feels he shouldn't have to help anyone out if no ones helping him get what he wants... Literally after he's gotten everything he wants handed to him except for a Wednesday shift.

Sorry for the huge post, it seemed relevant and I'm pretty irritated by him.

Really though

Your first mistake was expecting people at work to give a fuck about you.

If that employee is giving that much of a hard time, I personally would find a valid reason to fire the employee. You don't want someone like that in the workplace. Depending on what kind of threats he is making, he could potentially be fired for that. I know my workplace is very serious about threats.
