I Really Hate People (Sometimes)

[Wallfire]

So I'm at work yesterday, I work in a machine shop.  I got pissed off over something stupid because of a misunderstanding with a manager.  

In a nutshell, we use templates to measure parts sometimes.  Many times I'll make my own, it takes about 10 seconds to do.  My manager comes over and says there's a template in the work pack,  which is a folder with the specifications of the part you're making.  I said, it's ok, I just made one, I'll use that.  30 seconds later he walks by again and says everyone else uses the template in the work pack.  I said, ok, great, and kept using mine.

A few minutes later he's back with the head of the inspection office, saying I have to use the template in the work pack.  At this point I'm fucking pissed and pull the template out of the work pack, slap it on the desk, roll mine into a ball and throw it over my shoulder. He should have led with, you have to use this template, instead of making it a suggestion, then the whole fucking fiasco could've been avoided.

No biggie, it's happened before, it'll happen again, I was pissed off for 20 minutes, then I was back to normal, like a normal human being.

But no, today the production manager comes up to me, really cool guy who I like, and said the manager came to him saying a few employees went to the manager saying my anger was making them uncomfortable. 

I laughed, and said I guess they've never been around anyone angry before.  If they're going to piss their pants everytime someone gets angry about something, they're gonna leave here someday with serious PTSD.

I continued on my tirade for a few minutes, saying if the snowflakes are gonna piss their pants over something that was over in 20 minutes, and I wasn't screaming, cursing, and kicking shit, well that's their problem, not mine.

I support the manager fully, you must always use the approved templates, not your own, no matter how good your own is. As far as getting angry in the work place for all to see, thats a no no. Yep if you want to shout do so in the office not the work place.
Having said that I do understand how you feel, but try to remember, time and place, time and place
