Changing the rules (Drawing: Doodle)

by Henk ter Heide on Saturday May 12, 2007

As per the agreement I have with Promen I’ve been working at the shop in Capelle a/d IJsel since last week monday.

I have to be at a meeting point in Gouda at 7 AM and they take me to capelle. Then at 4.30 PM they take me back.

Wednesday I came out of my work at 4.30 PM and found that the car was gone. I phoned the meeting point and was told that the carĀ had been in Capelle till 4.15 PM when it had left as always. They had tried to contact me but I refused to leave my work. I told them that I was never contacted and they send a new car.

Yesterday morning when I got to the meeting point I was greeted by a very angry manager of the transport department who asked me why I hadn’t been out in front of the building at 4.15 PM just as I had been told. I told him that nobody ever told me that I would be pick up at 4.15 PM but that I would discuss it with my the manager of my department.

The manager of my department didn’t like it. He thinks that since I’m paid to work till 4.30 PM I should work till 4.30 PM. Off course the manager of the transport department didn’t agree which led to a littleĀ mini war which was won by the manager of my department.

So now I’m very scared.

I’ve taken the day off.

The rule used to be that you’d put a notice on the desk of this manager and if there are objections he will tell you.

But it has been four weeks since I worked for this manager and it’s quite possible that he changed the rules and neglected to tell me about it. It’s quite possible that Promen will tell me next week that they won’t hold there end of the agreement because I didn’t play by the new rules.

Probably not, but it is possible.

I get very scared of these kinds of uncertainties.
