Since I have started here in mylot, I have shared everything about my life. Many members here knows my love life story and even employment story.For those members who had read my previous post about my employment,i know you are aware that I have lost my job in one company and after sometime, they re-hire me again without knowing the reason.In that case, that is already a sign of a disorganize company. So what happen I was transferrd in different department.I think I am already 1 and half months to the new department.Just for your information,each and everyone of us has each own locker. Now here what has happened the other day.After my shift, i immediately proceed to my locker to put all my things. When I reach the locker area, my locker was already dismantle.I stopped for a while and think,and try to open and I found out that all my things are not there.I am like a tiger who is really hungry and want to eat people.I feel so disrespected.Why they did not inform me about the situation, if there are problems.I immediately proceed to the facilities area and asked them what they did.One of the staffs apologized.According to him, there was a miscommunication. I cannot control myself but to answered back, "miscommunication"?Our company is not big for this to happen.What if I have millions in the locker, and it was lost, will you answer for it?I say this in a calm and professional way.I want to escalate the concern to their supervisor but still i try to control myself,i don't want the person who dismantled it be out of job. I just would like to share this disappointing story,what about you, can you share your story?Any violent reaction?

rberon you are just too nice You should have gone over the manager to the managers and your boss and complained. that
was not right, and you do not have to stand for that kind
of treatment. I am sure the big boss wants to know what
the manager is doing, I am sure he wont fire him but will
'get to the bottom of things which a boss is hired to do.
You seem like a very kind obliging sort of person and do
not like to make waves,but sometimes you must stick up for
yourself.

I have thought about that the other day, but I think it is not right, so i decided not to proceed, I really pity the guy who dismantle it because he might be scolded. I do not want the fire to become very very big,and others will be affected because of it. It is okay for me, that I myself will suffer but I do not want other people will suffer. I just want them to learn from their mistakes. They should have checked everything first before they do something about it.

I don't really have a story to share, but I can offer up some advice. Weather you take it is up to you.
You should report it to the boss. Such things shouldn't go unreported for a number of reasons. The wrong side of the story gets out, your job is once again on the line. Work is hard to come by. pure and simple.

I appreciate your advice. I did not escalate the concern to the maanger who dismantled my locker.I am afraid that he might lost his job and i know how hard or difficult if you do not have job as of this moment. The only thing that i want to point out to them is before making an action on things, they should have coordinated it properly to the department that I came from. The company is not that big for them to be difficult to coordinate with the department.

hmm I had some of a reaction like that once in high school. It was the mid terms week. Our french teacher was away that day so we had a substitute teacher. Some of my classmates finished their asigned work first and asked the substitute if she could go to her locker to grab her math book to study. He gave her permission and to other students who asked him. They did come back with their textbook and they studied. Then there was this girl who asked the teacher if she could go to the washroom. She had a make up back in her hands....it was soo obvious. and he gave her permission. When it was my turn, I asked the teacher if I can go grab my book. He told me that I can't...I got really angry and I told him off in a tired tone that I can't believe that he could have sent a girl to do plastic surgery in the washroom while I wanted to grab my book to study. He looked at me embarassed with the students mocking at him...

That is also a very sad story. How come that they allow other students to went out to get their books and a girl who has a make up in her hands? Your reaction is just ordinary,i cannot blame you for that because that is actually really unfair.Did you not asked him the reason why he did not let you go out of the room? Maybe he likes you and always wants to see you,loljust kidding!I am jusr amking you laugh.

I preferably do what you did. First of all i don't like too what they did to your things. It also shows of no respect. And your reactions about that is natural. You need to asked them who is concerned and it is also natural to react that way toward that person. That's fine. Well i wasn't encounter that yet. Relax friend and have a happy day!

I am actually very relax when I approach the staff even the anger is already in my body. It was really a disappointing situation,correct? It is just that my privacy was lost. I have been in the department for almost one and half month and they don't even notice that i am still with the company. In a comapany to succeed, a proper coodination to the subordinate is needed.

Hi rberon, lots of them. :) Well, I dont have kids, and I am not eligible to adopt one. A couple of my colleagues who are really nasty type openly mentioned, since you dont have kids, and are not likely to have any, why dont you adopt our children. I dont want their children! They themselves are so awfully behaved. And their children are quite grown up, and I've heard their children talk in rather impudent way! And I didnt like being insulted - you are not likely to have any. That was a way to ridicule rather than offer me their children. I avoided answering the question a few times (about 50 or so). They got the message, and they found it insulting I guess. So they started being more nasty with me, she is selfish, and all that. Finally, I told them, I thought their children were ugly. :) Well, they were infringing my personal rights in office space. And I am within my rights, am I not in telling them that. I felt better. If I want to help, I will help my servant, or somebody who is truly helpless because of some calamity like earthquake, or cylcones. Why should I help somebody who already has everything? So that they can spare monies to enjoy themselves? Why should I facilitate their enjoyment depriving myself some? That is what I felt. If I am selfish, that is ok. :)

I never had a similar event in my life, if I did then I totally forgot about it. First is you did the right thing, but honestly I agree with the other comments...you should file a complaint to the manager and your boss. This is clearly an invasion of privacy and a sign of disrespect for your humanity. Its but normal to disapprove of this kind of situation...as you can see this is an avoidable event in which your company should be dealing with before it happens again...not just to you but to other employees as well.

What was the reason they gave in dismantling your locker? I guess you didn't lose anything and that's good. I really don't understand why they had to do that. If you don't want to report his to a higher authority, I think you should at least document it. You can probably write a formal letter to the one responsible for doing that, saying that you have all the reasons to report the incident but in consideration of his job you are not going to do it if he make sure that the incident will not happen again. Print 2 copies of that letter, one letter you give to him and the other is a received copy where he will sign to confirm receipt of that letter.
That letter may be of good use to you in the future.

The only thing I can say is the time is bad. It usually happens in everybodys life. First you loose your job, then on re employment somebody dismantles your locker. I hope all your stuff was safe, and they had returned all your stuff intact. If you had anything valuable and if it is lost, the company is moral bound to pay for it.
What to do, when our time is bad, we must just bear it.Do not worry, time will improve. That is how I always think.

Hello rberon,
I guess you were still trying to control your anger, that's remarkable of you after all that commotion and fear and adrenalin in your heart pumping like an angry bull. this is seriously alarming, make sure you have check your items and see if there's something missing or not.
It's true that there was sort of disrespect with the miscommunication error on their behalf.probably, it's for the best not to put money in that locker, seems that they have a a back up key to it.

That is absolutely terrible. Was someone else that worked there fired and they thought that your locker was the locker of another person, or did someone just decide that they needed your things. This would really make me mad. When I was a working woman, I never did like having to have a locker where I kept my things because I did not trust them since I was in school where they had master locks that the administration could open at any time. I don't like the fact that someone was able to go through my things simply for the fact that they were my things and not someone elses things.

That's a big blunder for the company. What kind of staff are they hiring in the facilities or security department. They should compensate you with what they did and better be sure to check your things. You were right in saying that your company is a bit disorganized.

First of all i would appreciate your kindness coz you have thinked that long that your supervisor might loose his job for dismantling your locker before complaining.
I never came accross such kind of situation and i wouldn't have controlled my anger and would have complained straight away coz i dont control my anger.gud day for your updates on your life and good that you got your job back.

Hi rberon!
I don't have sad stories like this, at least not on my job
You must be so nice that you didn't have it reported to someone higher whom you know can help you with what happened. That someone who did that should be reprimanded for what he did. I was just wondering? Will you still be calm as what you did when you a have a million there? I bet not.

A miscommunication? You better escalate that to your supervisor anyway. You need to get the problem fixed or else you're just going to risk having that person screw someone else over. And what if it wasn't just some miscommunication? What if it was intentional in some way?

I understand how you feel. I would be so angry too, if I come to know that my privacy has been mangled like that, although not in a direct way or so. I would not hesitate to go to the supervisor of those whom do that to me, but like you too, I would think about their 'rice bowl'. You are brave to control your temper in that sense, bro. Do take care.. and don't worry so much. I hope everything will be fine for you.

One of the staffs apologized.According to him, there was a miscommunication. I cannot control myself but to answered back, "miscommunication"? Our company is not big for this to happen.
It doesn't matter how big a company is, miscommunications can and do occur. There might have been a genuine failure to communicate, you don't know. Just go and talk to the supervisor in an assertive manner, and you'll find out what happened, why it happened, and what can be done about it.

Hi there, try to calm down. You don't know the reason why this is happenning to you, there may be a conspiracy against you or there is someone there who does not like you for some reason and maybe he can't do away with you. If I were the one, I would leave the organization so I would advice you to start looking for a new job and while you are still there, be careful watch your back.

Hi Rberon,
I have not experience like this in my entire life of working... you must write an incident report and address this to the department concern and copy furnish the president of your organization or company. Things like this is unacceptable and needs to be attended to by the management. If this happened to me i will be mad and will really do something.

Wow that sucks!!! Your things should suppose to be safe in there... nobody should open it aside from you. They don't have a right to take out your things in there and put it elsewhere... They should have call you and asked you to do it yourself... It is like you are being kicked out by your landlady... When you comeback from your work all your things are out on the street already!!!
That is very unethical... It is good that I haven't experience that yet and hopefully not at all... Well it is really up to you if you will escalate that, trust your judgement. What they do to you is not proper and against the process... 
They must be reprimanded... but not totally be kicked out of the company... They just have to learn their lessons so that they will not do that again...

You are the best judge here to know the repercussions if ever you report the matter to the concerned authorities. Afterall it is a blunder and they need to correct it and pay damages if any. If I were you I would certainly take it up. Charity begins at home, afterall!!!
