This post is for those people who read and shake their head at the work drama I have, and your probably thinking I knew she wouldn't last. I can talk about this because not many people know where I work. There was a new rule that went around the office in an e-mail stating that 2 people who smoke can not go out for a smoke together. I think that rule is unfair just because a person smokes means they can not go for a break with any one who does. So the people that I would want to go for a break with are the ones who smoke. Me and the other girl just ignored the rule and continued to go out. I was just disobeying the rule because I am not 12 and don't live with my parents, that is what parents are allowed to do come up with crazy rules and enforce them.I was approached today by one of the partners of the firm and she told me how she felt about it, I didn't argue and when she asked me my opinion I told her that no one should be able to go for a break together then. And I also said that me and the other girl would just go for a walk. There was a few other things said all along those lines. I said that there should be a new rule then that no junk food is allowed in the office cause I am trying to loose weight and it is not supporting me when people around me are allowed to eat junk food. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that is what this is all about. One person quit in the office so they are enforcing that no one is allowed to smoke together so that they are supporting the ONE who did quit. Which I respect but it's not like I was flaunting it or going out 10 times a day. I went 3 times a day. That was at about 11:00 this morning. So at 4:00 the one partner who does smoke and the one who I work for let me go saying that it was about what happened earlier, but really he didn't need to give me a reason cause I was still on probation. I was honest with them and at least I didn't go ok and not go for smoke breaks with other people until my 3 months was up and then just go out after the probation period cause then they wouldn't have been able to let me go for the smoking issue. I am not upset about it, I guess it wasn't meant to be.
What is it that lawyers do for a living? They fight for the principal of the matter, like in a custody case they fight that both parents get to see the kids, it is out of principal. That is what I was doing, fighting for the principal of the fact but I was disrespectful, they just realized that this was not a fight that they could win so just eliminate the problem.
