I had a rather unsettling experience at work today, and it got me quite mad. I was wondering if I could do anything about it.
I got in this morning at 6am, and found out that one of the seniors had called in sick(he really isn't) That left me alone, but I said "Alright, it'll be ok." So I continued on my business.
An hour passes, and my manager starts screaming at me because I hadn't started the cycle count. I said what cycle count? Nobody told me about a cycle count.
He said "Oh, because [the senior] has to do it, and now there is no senior here, it's up to you, why didn't you start it?"
I looked at him with daggers, i swear. "Because you didn't tell me there was one."
He said "You haven't been doing anything since you got here, you've just been floating around and I saw you take your break an hour and a half after you got here."
I asked him if there was a requirement suddenly that said when I should take my breaks. He said no, but because I wasn't doing anything that I shouldn't have taken it.
I got in a huge argument, telling him how dare he accuse me of doing nothing, and telling him that he's a manager and has a responsibility to tell his employees when they should be doing things that aren't their job.
This started the day...
I agreed to do the count, and as I was in the warehouse I was rummaging through boxes and cardboard particles flew into my eye and scratched my eyeball. I ran out to flush my eye and remove my contacts.
I when to the managers desk to explain what had happened, and asked the manager if I could run home quickly to get eyedrops and salvage my contacts.
He said no, because I was the only one in my department. I said The store doesn't open for another two hours! I could be home and back in twenty minutes.
He refused, and I was forced to put my contacts in a makeshift "case"
They have dried up, and folded shut, and I don't think I'll be able to save them.
I screamed at him about it, and threatened to give him the bill. I am uninsured, and I cannot afford to pay to buy my own new ones.
Is there anyway I can give the bill to the company for this?
