Boss' boss starts complaining about my productivity. I am literally going as fast as I can, I'm even using functions in the program we use that we aren't supposed to know about to get it done as quickly as possible(The forbidden tool nobody knows about thing is a simple macro system built into the program, very handy for thousands of redundant bills like what I enter into the system.)
I spend 10 seconds entering data into the system for each bill. My crappy little underpowered computer (256MB of ram.) spends 40 seconds per bill crunching numbers during which I can do NOTHING. We are supposed to take no longer than 30 seconds per bill. The problem is not with me, I have shown them such, yet they still insist it's me because I'm the only one who does bills so slowly (I'm also the only one assigned an 8 year old computer) And yes, it was the case before I started using the macros as well.
I finished roughly 400 bills with the instructions of keep the scanning system set to duplex at all times. The scanner picks up some numbers at the back of each page, making it register and enter into the system. But I have no way of removing blank pages after they get scanned, and no way of stopping it from doing so with it set do duplex, so I just continue on. Late in the day one of the people who handle the bills further down the line comes into the mailroom having a fit with a number of bill copies in her hand. I am near the office so I can hear everything. She tells my boss that her 'incompetent' employees have been scanning in the bills I handle with blank pages. My boss comes out of her office, chews me out in front of the complainer for the mistake and tells me to change the scanner settings when I get bills like that and tells me that I should know better. She earlier in the day was the one who ordered me never to touch those settings.
Also we had mandatory 1 hour overtime + saturday for a week. It ended and went back down to optional overtime today. I had worked through lunch getting some overtime that way(before it was made optional again). My boss stops me at the door on my way out asking me why I'm not staying. I say it's because it's not mandatory to get a full hour anymore. She gives me this 'lazyist employee in the world look' and says that if folks don't work the overtime it will just be made mandatory again. I tell her that I worked through lunch for some(I had permission from human resources to do so) and she tells me not to do that again saying some bullfunk about lunchtime system maintenance. ( I know that does not happen because I'm friends with the office computer tech) EDIT:Oh and the reason I got stopped? I stay until the time we are supposed to leave. Everyone else leaves five minutes early. There was only one person actually staying overtime. I even saw my boss who gave me grief about it leave and drive off right after giving me grief for doing the same.
All this in one day. Similar things happen almost every day, I just don't have the patience to type it all out usually.
