Being victimised at work

[bogwoppit]

You just need to find out what you should and shouldn't be doing, and then act accordingly. If you're told you should act in such a way that you consider rude, you could always ask the CTO for permission to open the door for X every time - it'll make him think about it for a second. Or it could just make him angry

Yes.

Do what the CTO tells you. If your team leader has a problem with this, tell him to take it up with the CTO. Never mind about "looking selfish", if the CTO tells you to stop being the doorman, stop being the bloody doorman.

If your team leader has a problem with the CTO cutting him out of the loop, that's his problem, not yours.

And stop being late. No-one cares about your excuses.

This.

If opening the door is an issue of security then stop doing it.
If the issue is lost productivity while you open the door then look for another job. Who the hell wants to work for a place that has an issue with you wasting a few seconds now and again? (assuming you arn't opening the door every other minute).

Personally, I think the new CTO just doesn't like you and is lookin for an excuse.

Apart from doing the obvious (as mentioned above), would it not be an idea to explain the problems you feel you are having to your Line Manager and ask if it might be possible to move your location should you feel it is advesely affecting your ability to do your job?

How to handle this? Yes, there are two easy steps.

1. Get to work on time and do your jbo well
2. Stop letting people in who need to swipe

(swiping in at my old firm was produced in the event of a fire alert to ID all those in the building and this was ticked back against those out in the street, sooooo you could be really f****ng up Health and Safety).

For the avoidance of doubt, you are not being victimised, you are being told to do your job properly and follow the rules. IF you do this, and do it well, then bear in mind the CTO can see what you are doing and this may go well for you in future.

So where exactly are you being victimized?

You were late on more than one occasion and were told off
You have been opening the door for people who are supposed to use their swipe card to enter as it records their entry which is against your companies policy and have been told not to do it again.

Quit being so sodding mard or you'll never make it in any industry or job.

Never heard 'mard' used quite so perfectly.

You sound like a fairly coherent young bloke, but what you seem to be lacking in is common sense and maturity.

Its a job, not a relationship. You are not there to be friends, you are there to work. That means turn up on time, do what you say you're going to do and do as they ask.

They arent picking on you they're just not giving you an allowance you feel you deserve. You have to earn flexibility and just take it with a steel chin and a strong backbone. Its not personal and the best way you can react is to not react. See it as constructive, take it on board, turn up early and be enthusiastic. Thats all they expect at your work stage.
