Silvia goes to the boss to clarify the mix up. The boss then asks me whether I'm ok to work Friday instead of Saturday this coming week. I say why? because I thought I was switching with my co-worker for this weekend, not next weekend. The boss says, "Yeah right. I'm just adjusting the schedule so everything's fair". i.e. I just can't show up to work in place of another co-worker without screwing up any plans I might've already made for other "off" days. It's this kind of fairnesss that really makes me furl. Why then ask the needy employee to seek approval if the boss is going to alter other dates too? Silvia only asked me if I was willing to switch one Saturday, then here comes the boss to alter my work schedule for the following week too (not that I have anything important to do). It's the principle I'm concerned with here. All fairness aside. The question then should probably have been this "Hey grouchy guy, are you willing to switch Saturdays with me this week? I'll work one of your Saturdays if you do." But I didn't hear a proposition, all I heard was "Do me a favor."
