Re: What to do about the boss
PJC, I don't whine but when you are taken advantage of for almost 5 years with hardly a thank you, you tend to get a little testy. I have always done whatever a boss has put in front for me to do. This time I am trying to stand up for myself. So I decided to do what I think is best for me.<br /><br />Within the last year and half, they hired 2 new lab techs. These 2 have never had the opportunity to know what hours that I put in to gain the respect and position of Senior Lab Tech. As a matter of fact 1 of the girls was going to be laid off because of lack of business. To prevent her from being forever gone, I gave her some of my hours. During the past, I was always included in the monthly ON Call schedule. Other techs would ask for my call as they needed the money more than me. So I ended up practically giving up all my call time so the others would have more in their paycheck.<br /><br />These 2 new techs only saw that the senior lab tech was not taking call. So they are the ones that whined about me not taking call. These 2 also complained about my school and making the supervisor not to accomodate my school schedule. Now that I'm being forced to take twice the average call schedule, these 2 are complaining and whining about not having much of a paycheck. Go figure....<br /><br />I'm sorry, but when those that have very little seniority call the shots, its time for the old faithfulls to find greener pastures.

And it's great you helped your coworkers. That alone is a sign of character. I do believe that your patience will be rewarded.
