At a friend's prodding I sent an apology email to my boss for a disagreement we had earlier this week. I'm suspended since Monday til next Monday, for insubordination. Woopdy freakin doo.
The email consisted of an apology, a explanation of my actions (that placed myself as the mistaken one but hopefully makes clear my thinking during the affair), and a request that he get some sleep. (The friend is also a good friend of my boss, who is worried about his 20 hour days and not eating)
He took the entire thing and threw it back at me "calling bullshit" on the whole thing. Implying that I'm just trying to do as little work as possible, telling me that I'm lying about how our remote system works on the client side, and says I'm trying to act tough in front of the new intern girl.
I have never slacked off at that job. I loved working there and was happy to do my part with a company that's ethics I believed in. Which I know few people in the working world can say. I still love the job, though this whole thing has put a black sheet over it all.
I have been on the client side of that remote system many times, and know how it works from both sides, because he always has me set it up on the client side when I do a housecall. He claims mouse movement from the remote end does not take control of the client's mouse, when in fact it does. I can't do anything at all with the computer when he's working on it remotely, and says my attempts to not disturb the user, or notify them that we will be remoting into their system when we do, is just an excuse to fuck around and do the work as slowly as possible. When he should know better on his end even! He sees that whenever the client tries to use their mouse it just warps the mouse back to his mouse's position every second! There is a reason they stop what they are doing when you are remoted in! It's because they CAN'T continue what they were doing! Can't you see that? Somebody even complained about it once, and you completely misunderstood them and fixed a problem they did not have!
And all I was doing when he said I was acting tough was trying to explain myself when he confronted me. And I'm not even attracted to the intern, yes, she's cute, but she's 9 years younger than me, she's too young. It was him and the CFO always pairing me and her up on housecalls and making jokes about why me and her should hook up. Not me.
Sorry for the rant, just needed to get all that off my chest before it ended up in a return email that would probably put me squarely in the unemployment line. Carry on as you were.
