Cell Phone Incident

Posted by Joe Somebody at 3:58 AM

We all have certain people to deal with in the workplace. This person that I am about to tell you about is the type of person that will stab their own mother in the back if they think it will help them advance.

I need to lay the foundation real quick so you will be able to understand what I am saying. This person worked for my girlfriend at the time. Me and my girlfriend both would report to the same manager even though we worked in different departments. I am a contractor working security and she is a employee for that company.

Anyways this girl lets call her Marcy. Well Marcy would do anything she possibly could to get ahead at work. Meaning backstabbing. She would go tell the facilities manager all the time things that I was doing or that her boss was doing, so my girlfriend would get fired and she would get her job and pay.

Well she got on this kick about cell phones. I wasn't allowed to have a cell phone. The only guard on the site that wasn't allowed one. Well Marcy would go to the facilities manager daily and tell him that she saw me on the phone with my girlfriend all day everyday.

So one day I ended up leaving my cell phone with my dad because I wasn't going to give up my cell phone because my son was in the hospital. But I left it in the car to prove a point. Which I did, but in the end it didn't matter.

I got called into the office of the facilities manager and he told me to sit down. He started off by saying how many times do I have to tell you that you can not bring your cell phone to work? I said what are you talking about I don't have my cell phone on me.

He told me not to lie to him or I would be outta there right now. So I stood up and emptied my pockets, took off my shoes, showed him the insides of my socks, and asked him if he would like to see inside my underwear.

He then told me very smart where did you hide the phone. I told him I didn't and if you call it then my dad would answer the phone. So he called it and of course my dad answered the phone. He asked him how long he had the phone and my dad told him all day that I gave it to him last night.

The facilities manager hung up his phone and just glared at me. I caught him and Marcy in a lie and there was nothing he could do about it. I thought I had won. I was wrong. I got sent out of his office and when I got back to my desk there was Sgt. Retodd waiting with a write-up telling me I was on the phone.

I needed the job because the money was better than any other guard post and I didn't have time to search for another job. So I signed it with a big smiley face that was on the phone.
