At my work today there was a little potluck Christmas party, it was originally a secret Santa thing where employees wrote down gift cards they would like, and then you pick and draw names, and it was supposed to be at 9 o clock. But after a few days of not drawing any names I went down to work and my boss told me they changed it so now we buy one 20 dollar gift card and then exchange them, but she said she forgot to call me. By the way this was my first work party, so I was exited, and and I was looking forward to it all week, I even made a handmade Jell-o. I went there tonight at 8:55, and when I arrived I was told that the party started an hour/ hour and a half early, and they told me they that they thought they told me/called me. The food was cold and half eaten, and on top of that 5 minutes after I arrived all but 1 employee was left, and all who remained was the managers and their friends, and they were just hanging out, and talking, so there was no dancing, beer, movie( my work is at a movie theater). I stayed for a little bit but overall it was really disappointing. Another thing that was disappointing is how forgetful my boss is, a few weeks prior I requested time off on Dec 1st and 2nd, but the next week I called for my schedule, and I didn't work because my boss thought I had time off that week not last week, then she forgot to call me about the party change, and she forgot to tell me the party was early. I am also disappointed in that I told my boss a few times that I am available at closing, and she never has given me that shift, but tonight she said somebody is going to close for a midnight movie tomorrow, and said she only choose that person because he was the only one who would do it, but she never asked me. In fact I am like the only employee who hasn't closed yet, and I have been there since the summer. Don't get the wrong idea, I love my boss/ Manager, she is young and one of the nicest people I know, and I know she didn't tell me on purpose. But her forgetfulness is really starting to annoy me. Anyway sorry for the long post, and even if I don't get any replies( I doubt it) but it is nice to just vent, anyway what have you been disappointed by.
