Bosses WITH NO RESPECT for workers

I was really happy and appreciative when my previous part-time (roadshows) job's boss called me up asking if I'm interested to work for a bridal shop for the Bridal Fair at Prangin Mall on 19th and 20th (today)....so of course, i grabbed the chance....after all its RM 50 per day....why not???Just for two days.....so that's basically how everything started and i met two bosses (husband and wife) who simply have no respect for others.


When my friend (Daphne) and I wanted to go to the washroom together....i mean why not when there are 8 people working at the same time and there weren't many or at that time, ANY customers.....it's just ridiculous that the boss (husband) stopped us and questioned us "why your all must go together ah??cannot one person go then come back another go ah??" Man...I don't see anything wrong....with 8 people working....if it was like only 2 people working....it will be very unreasonable for both of us to go to the washroom together....and in comparison....the other workers (their regular staff) got to go in pairs....OH HEY PLEASE....YOUR 50 BUCKS IS NOT EVERYTHING!....


Alas, we went too...after like standing there for 3 minutes listening to him babble....rite....the next thing that happened that got me furious was...."No one is to go eat dinner....Two of you (pointing at two of the other staff) go buy for the two of them (pointing at me and Daphne)...because it's already 7pm...." What a lame excuse.....and when I retorted to that saying that why not they go buy back...then Daphne and I will go buy ours...at least we get to buy what we want to eat, no? Come on, not like he pays for our meals....so who are you to stop us from eating what we desire...and most of it...i don't know what has 7pm got to do with us eating....we are humans after all....we need food to keep us standing all day for like say 10 hours (already counted the times we got to sit which is another part of this story)....so i was thinking "Isn't it a very basic human rights that he's intruding now??"


Okay...dinner over....he told another girl and I to go peep at another booth (another bridal house's that is which had very good business)....and to peep at their photo albums....ridiculous!!and he went over to Daphne and said this "Why did just let the customer go like that....you can always snatch them back from the opposite booth...." He pays us RM50 for 11 hours work and expecting us to 'snatch' customers from other booths....which is so unethical....*sighs*


Let's go on.....whenever we sat down he would stare at us.....mannnnn....think what....we are humans with aching legs due to prolonged standing in high heels....not robots....and even robots, will run out of battery, won't it??It's very, very unreasonable coming to this stage....that both of us almost decided to walk out on them....but to hold onto my personal principle, I decided to work today anyway....since I have made my promise beforehand....


So, my legs hurt like nobody's business and after soaking in hot water, how good a pain relief it was....but this morning i woke up all groggy...and puked i did....But, I still have to go because I won't let my friend down like that...leaving her there....so I went....

But, indeed my head was spinning periodically...and my legs (in heels) hurt worse than yesterday....that made me decide to tell the boss (wife) that I wish to work half-day only today...she said "Okay...if not later you pengsan"....So...yeahhh....GREATTTT!!...and then...she said i can leave at 3pm!!YAY....

We didn't get to go buy our lunch till 2.15pm!!!Actually, both Daphne and I brought food from home...mine was in tupperware and hers in styrofoam container....but if we get a chance to go somewhere else (which happened to exist.XD) to sit, we will of course...we ain't stupid ok!...So we went to that 'somewhere' on pretext of buying food...we sat for 15 minutes before leaving....that wasn't at all over the limits....i actually timed 15 minutes....then we went to get some bubble milk tea and got back to our booth....

Then, we took out our food and eat....Holy crap....at least 3 pairs of eyes were focused on us and our food! Don't we have time-out when having our meals??How rude they were to stare at us..but obviously, it wasn't simply stares....they were 'checking' out our food...and i saw the boss (wife) tell another girl that i sort of cheated to go buy food...but ended up eating my own food from home....so even if i did cheat...SO WHAT???I have my rights of doing anything during lunch hour don't I???as long as i didn't do anything against you bugger bosses and your hopefully, soon-to-die business....and then that girl...who had been talking to me nicely, stabbing the boss (wife) in front of me.....stabbed me from behind...."Yalo...somemore put in TUPPERWARE lo"...What in the world she thinks she is doing???" I got so pissed..that i almost went in front of her and said, "Now, you FATTY behsyiok zit i very health-conscious...must take tupperware go contain my food instead of putting in plastic....coz hot hot put in plastic no good la...."zzzzz....silly bugger...but it was already 2.45pm then....i thought to myself "why do i want to make enemies...when after all...after this job..or rather...after 3pm..i swear i don't know any of them (count Daphne out in this)...." So, i went on to do my job....


and at 3.15pm....i officially walked out on them...the boss (husband) was kind of mad and pissed off when i told him it's time for me to go...and courteously i said thank you.....I was sort of happy to see him pissed....but i feel bad on the other hand that Daphne had to stay on.....and I'm wondering if they are going to talk any bad about me to my previous boss who recommended the job to me.....HAH HAH....but hopefully after all that I have done for that boss, she will know what type of worker I am....if you treat me well....i will not do anything against you.....if u treat me with no respect....just don't expect me to give you my best....that is simple isn't it?


I had not whined a word....even when i had to work till past 12am..helping them clear the roadshow things the last time i worked for her (the other boss)....in fact, i volunteered to do so....and even after i no longer work for her, I volunteered to come back and serve one particular caucasian customer....whom I served back then....and I was almost always the last person to eat dinner....and i really went all out in my job.....so guess....i'm not afraid of the useless people badmouthing me....

It had been a pretty bad weekend for me i guess...that made me decide I will not take up anymore part-time jobs other than from Channel Blue....that's it!...after all...the RM50 is not really what i'm looking at....The main reason i took up this job was to show my appreciation to the previous boss of mine for having a thought on me to the extent calling me up to see if i'm interested in this job....and also I was touched by her call early in the morning on the day when SPM results came out....so...guess that's all for now.....
