Question Posted Sunday September 25 2005, 7:30 pm

Hey! I have a lead at work named Erin. I work at an amusement park, in an employee restaront (sp). My lead almost always makes me clean. so I decided to start doing it on my own,because I like to do thinkgs on my own with out being told. Well, she will wait unitl i am done washing things until she gets them and uses it again, for the same thing. Like a spoon or something. And she will just keep piling up the dirty dishes, not rinsing, or dumping out extra food, just pilling. and she will not clean them. She will wait until there is not where else to set a dirty dish, then ask me to do it. so thats why now i clean the dirty dishes when ever i see one in the sink. She has me sweet the floors all the time, and clean off the tables! I am supposed to work the front line, serving food. I get to do that maybe for 20minutes to 1hour on average each day, and I work for 6 hours each day. She doesnt do anything. SHe cooks sometimes, but she is always telling other people to do it for her. She does do work, sometimes. Other people noatice what she does, and dont like it too, but they are always telling me not to let it get me down.
She never says please or thank you when she asks me to do something, or after i do something. and I know that you are supposed to do things without looking for anything in return, but a please or a thank you can do a long way. and when I ask her for something i always say please and thank you. one time she said to me to just leave the dirty dishes, and she would do them later, and who did them later? me! and it was like 3 times as many. and one time she asked me to make sandwiches, and she said she would help, so I was like, okay. and she never helped! I do stuff like that busy work a lot when we arnt busy in the front line, but she dosnt say anything like thanks, she just gives me something else to do.

if you wanna know what i am cleaning, its like chilli or beef-a-ronni- or something nasty like that. thats what i have to scrub, with no gloves, off of dishes. and other nasty stuff.

What should I do? I mean, I try to be nice becasue thats the way I am, but I dont know what else to do! Its annoying!

What should I do/Say? but i dont want to be mean about it, just get my point through!!

5's and feedback will be given!!!

Thanks!!

Is there someone who is above her? YOU SHOULD REPORT HER! Be professional about it. Say you think that she's being very unfair and that you think she's doing it because of her personal feelings for you.

Oh and about the 5.25...just keep reminding yourself that it could be worse. Some people don't have any money. Some people are SLAVES.

Talk to someone above her. She's obviously abusing her power, and needs reality to smack her in the face. Express what she does, and how you feel. In fact, get a big group of people together to do it. Bring down this tyrant! If your managers are unable to help you, find a new job. No sense working in conditions that make you feel uncomfortable.
