You mean you are upset but it doesn't seem important enough to mention?\, N? It's not a competition, just tell us what's bothering you. If you want, find another thread with a similar title. or start one. This is Nothingland, after all. Spill the beans, what's sinking your submarine today?

Doesn't matter, just start out with "I HAVE SIIINNNNNNNED ..."

[Nirvana]

I am not looking for a career I have/had that, but I liked working at the candy factory until last WED I have been there for almost 6 months, never late, get along well with cow orkers. Immediate boss claims she put my name in for full time . On Wed I found out she had put in another gal's name because even though she has been there a shorter time and I TRAINED her all of a sudden she has full time. So what am I chopped liver?

I like the lady that got full time we get on well. But her work record was not as spotless as mine and I have been there longer and my mantra is any job worth doing is worth doing well rest assured if I made the candy it was very very good. Long time associates cow orkers tell me I was robbed. It was a kick in the gut.

My immediate boss does not even know that this lady is always telling me how she could do a better job of running the dept we are in than immediate boss. I don't want to be the boss and micro manage people [yuck] It is only apparent to me that IB >[immediate boss] has let the weasel in her hen house. I hate work place drama and sophomoric games.

Now I feel like not doing the extra stuff I did to help immediate boss do her job better. And what a face slap to train someone that takes away what was supposed to be my FT position. I cannot be mad at the person that got FT she deserves to have it too. [/spilled beans]

Makes me wonder if the weasel has connections?
It sounds odd simply IB told you she had submitted you.

Maybe IB is told to submit the names of all the people ready for full time status, and someone else makes the decision?
Or your spotless record, strong work ethic, and helpfulness doing extra stuff, is perceived as a threat to IB.

Are you going to tell IB you're disappointed, or let it ride?

Or maybe IB knows more than you think, feels secure, and figures she can use a go getter full time to lighten her own workload and as a substitute making it easier to get time off whenever she wants. Does that seem plausible?

[Nirvana]

We already have a second IB she has been there 4 years. She runs the Dept when IB is off. I would say from observation that my IB fears losing her job so what she did made no sense. PTO is cumulative and all anyone has to do is put in a request 24 hrs prior and even unexpected absence is dealt with in a point system and after 90 days the points fall off. It is very easy to take off work.

Last Wed before I knew they hired lady FT our shift finished the most candy of any shift ever with me being the top "producer" almost double of anyone else. I am [was] the go getter.

[sexobon]

So, I take it you think they're sleeping together!

[Nirvana]

IB knows I am disappointed claims I am still getting full time. I know she feels I am a threat and I have told her I will never be the boss. I am a very confident person this all smells like Jr High school where you could not be smart and attractive and have friends...in this case its above average work performance and I point out infractions like someone who blows their nose and does not change their gloves and some people perceive this as me picking on them REALLY? And the guys that think they should be mixing candy with their ass crack hanging out

This may not apply to you; but, there is a generic consideration with businesses in which part timers don't get healthcare benefits while full time employees do. Some businesses will first grant full time status to those part time employees least likely to use healthcare benefits to keep the employer's insurance costs down. It could be that an employee already has healthcare benefits elsewhere (e.g. Medicare, spouse's employer), has no preexisting conditions on their pre-employment physical; or, is statistically at lower risk (e.g. age bracket). Since employers who offer healthcare benefits must by law insure anyone eligible under their policy, this can be an issue.
