my supervisor.. beeyotch

[h2jonny]

apparently my supervisor had a supervisor's meeting and the other super's told my super that I'm the only one out of my department that helps out other folks of other departments and that my co workers are lazy... you know what my super tells me?
"oh, I need you to concentrate on your work.. maybe you can try and make the others help you out..." REALLY BITCH? soooo.. if I were to sit there and ignore the folks.. I'd probably get in trouble from doing that too?

Wow.. this quote is soo true... "no good deed goes unpunished"

this is really effed up.

I must be doing something right if everyone other person is saying I'm doing a good job by helping them out.... UGH!

[h2jonny]

did this ever happen to anyone?

Something similar has happened to me.
Careful, you could potentially get fired.

You're basically making your sup look bad.
She'll sacrifice you before she applauds you for that.

I'd make sure your own work for your own department is flawless if you want to continue being a team player with other departments.
I'd also run everything by your sup. So if another department seems to need help with something, go to your sup first. If she says no, don't help them, the other departments will start to realize that the once helpful Jonny is being reigned in by his sup. And she will be the only person left exposed to trouble for that.

I had a similar situation once, handled it as per Malcoms suggestion went really well and I moved up eventually.

Very true.

actually, we're suppose to help the other folks. its part of our job. instead of telling the other co workers to do it, i was told that i am the only one in our department that goes above and beyond and if i were to ignore the clerks that we're suppose to help out, god knows how long they'll be standing there for. my coworkers are just lazy. but, i guess its time to open my mouth to tell them to start to get up off their asses to help out.

p.s. we have job security, its not the type of place we're you can fired for something like that...especially something like this... trust me. very secure.

Nobody is that secure. Nobody. So it sounds to me like it's an issue between supervisors. Your supervisor has just had other supervisors tell her that all her people are "lazy". I don't know if they are or not, because I don't understand why these other people can't get their own jobs done. Nevertheless, she is being evaluated based on her (and your) department, not the other departments. Don't forget that. If any time you are using to help others out affects your job, your department suffers. Plus, workers in other departments shouldn't be requesting help without going through your supervisor first. If you always keep in mind the pecking order and who you should impress, you can survive corporate life. It is not your job to tell your co-workers what they should do and that they should get off their asses. That would be a CLM Career Limiting Move.

Your boss is trying to enable you to be a "leader" so she won't have to listen to bitching by other people. It's a sort of a retarded trick, but supervisors don't like employees bringing them problems rather they like them to bring solutions so they won't be distracted from their internet surfing. The most you'll get out of following her advice is membership in the club until she comes to work on the rag and stabs you in the back.
