Jan. 21st, 2017 10:57 amI am livid right now.
When I clocked out last night my computer started updating so I left it at work. When I arrived this morning I clocked in on my phone while I waited for it to finish updating thinking it would only take a few minutes. At 8:16 I opened the laptop to see why it hadn't finished yet; only to discover it was only at ten percent!
I texted KN and W to tell them and then sat back and waited. At 9 something I checked again and realized that it had finished but for some reason my monitors weren't coming on. I checked the ThinkPad black box we use to connect our laptops to the two monitors and it was on. So I checked the settings and it was no longer recognizing that there was anything connected to it.
I texted KN and W asking what to do but didn't hear anything from them so at 9:45 I made the decision to go home.
I got a text while I was on my way home from W asking if it had finished updating. I said it had and I was headed home.
Then KN and W and I had a disjointed text conversation wherein it was made painfully obvious that neither of them ever read my texts because I mentioned several times that my laptop would not connect to the internet at work because of the black box and that I was already home but willing to do what I can from here.
W said I'm not allowed because last time I only got eleven shifts keyed. I tried explaining that that was because I did more than just key but I was going to ONLY key today.
They told me to go back to the office and connect to the internet via wifi. I said I'm not willing to waste my gas going back to the office (I'm terrified that this statement will get me fired) because I tried connecting to wifi using my phone as a hotspot but it didn't work.
So now I have to lose nearly five hours of pay because they won't let me work from home today.
Update: W just texted and said to clock back in and key for an hour and then we'll see.
