Im slightly pissed. Just till next week but still its for something that never happened.
They gave the power to some guy that deserves none whatsoever.
So the back story is...
Monday: First thing in the morning i stopped at the shop and turned in my paperwork from the previous week and while i was there i chatted with the service manager about where i am on a job where im swapping some engines on a pair of cat 615 paddle wagons. I explained that it was supposed to rain on tuesday and if it does im not going out to work on said equipment if it does.
Tueday: I get up around 5:30 and it pouring rain so i turn my alarm off and go back to sleep. I get up at 9 and go cover up my bronco "oops" and do a few other things around the backyard. Around 11 i get a call from the service manger asking "whats going on"? I tell him "nothing much this rain has screwed everything up" I also ask "is there anything going on at the shop that i can do"? He replies no not really so i hang up. About 10min later he calls again asking if was going to attend a afflac meeting lol. I told him no. I then tell him that if its raining again on wednesday that again im not going to work on said equipment and that i have some stuff that i can do in the afternoon at a customers yard. I also explained what it was. (abs light, and a pony motor on a landoll that isnt charging). He then calls me asking me about my paperwork from friday where I reminded him that I turned in a time off sheet that he signed and approved and signed for my vacation pay.
Wednesday: I get up around 5:30 again and check the weather and its raining again.. (great) So i do some stuff in my garage again and then go inside and play some games and get some lunch. Around 11 i get a call from a odd phone number that i didn't answer and just ignored. They ended up leaving a voicemail that i also ignored. I then speak to my customer and inform him that im coming down to look at the writeups that he has. I then get a phone call from a guy at the shop (used to be service manager but is a salesman on the dealership side now).
He asks me "whats going on"? I tell him that im getting ready to go down to a customers yard and do some work down there" He then tells me that "well me and steve (service manager) are getting ready to come pick up your service truck". I ask "huh"? "he then tells me that steve says that i havent called in for 2 days and that he cannot get a hold of me all day" I tell him that i dont have any missed calls and wtf is going on? So at this point in time i get pissed and go to the shop and confront him. Hes claiming that i never told him anything and that i havent called in..
Im shocked and showed him and everyone there my phone records showing that i did talk to him and how long. Also that i had no missed calls from him.
From there he keeps denying it. At this point in time im getting pissed. This isnt the first time that i've had problems with the guy. Nor am i the only one that hates him. I yell at him for awhile about how this is all bs and how hes gone to the big boss and made me look like crap when its all false. He then hands me a paper saying that he suspending me! At this time im doing everything i can to stay calm at not loose it on his arrogant ass.
I had to leave my service truck at the shop with all of my tools in it. He also made me turn in my shop keys and said im not allowed on the property till the suspension is over. Now our shop has cameras all over it covering everything.
First thing im doing when i get back is calling the owner and having a discussion about this bs.
Im getting re evaluated on june 16th wtf.
Ill leave it at that.
