[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 641059, member: 2196"] I made a completely small and innocent mistake at work today and now it's blowing up in my face. It's my job to mark all the kids tardy in the computer and today I mistakenly marked the wrong kid late. The parents get automated phone calls any time their kid is late or absent from a class. Today the kid I mistakenly marked absent was actually home ill all day. His dad received the tardy phone call and was irate. The mistake was quite small considering all the factors. For one thing, the student whom I mistakenly marked is late to school ALL the time. I am not exaggerating when I say that this kid has probably been late to school 50 times so far this year. He's not just a little late either. He likes to show up to school one and sometimes two full hours late. His attendance is horrid. I am so used to this kid always being late that I mistakenly marked him tardy rather than the other kid who happens to have the exact same last name as him. When you consider the fact have to input approximately 75 to 100 of these tardies daily, I don't think my ONE mistake in the nine years I've been working here is all that bad. Well my supervisor would like to disagree with me. She got very very pissed off at me. Mind you, I do the majority of the work here while she is busy going shoe shopping online for looking at pictures on Pinterest. But boy was she upset. She is the one who happened to take the call from the angry parent because she speaks Spanish and the dad only speaks Spanish. He yelled at her then she passed him off to one of our Spanish Speaking counselors so they could get yelled at as well. Now this dad is furious at my mistake and is demanding a meeting with the principal about it. This dad is making a way huge deal out of a little tardy and his son's attendance is just awful anyway! And now I am getting the silent treatment from my supervisor after she got mad at me and told me off about my mistake. This is the same woman who called me fat last year and made me cry. The very same person who gave me the silent treatment and treated me like total s*** after my dear sweet cat was euthanized a couple of years ago. Now she's at it again. I have a real big problem with people who get upset at me. If anybody gets mad at me for any reason whatsoever my anxiety skyrockets. Now I'm miserable and wondering how long the silent treatment is going to last. And now that dad is meeting with the principal and my job could easily be on the line. I do not need this at Christmas time. Help! [/QUOTE]
