The two followers I have already know this but others may not. I'm a smoker. At work we have our little "rules" for smokers and that is we're only supposed to smoke during our breaks. I have no problems in the world with that. I've been known on occasion to sneak out and have a smoke mainly at 7am and 10am everyday. I work my ass off everyday all day and if I'm not doing anything during those two times (which are not our break times) I go out and burn one. My boss doesn't care at all, he just says "don't get caught." Again, I have no problems with that. We're all grown men around there and we do what we have to do to maintain our sanity and make it through the day. We all have our own little things we do...I go out and sneak a smoke in if it urge hits me and I'm not busy. I understand its not the healthy thing to do, but it is MY CHOICE.
Getting to the point.
Today roughly at 345 my group leader and I went out to sneak a smoke in and we were a little complacent in what we were doing which led to us getting caught by our plant manager. We are both adults and are fully aware of the consequences of getting caught. Well, today we got caught by our plant manager. When one of my bosses told me about it I thought he was fucking with me and didn't think anything of it. We fuck with each other all the time so I thought it was one of those rides on the carousel, I mean why wouldn't I?
Apparently, he wasn't fucking with me. The plant manager caught me and had someone else tell me I shouldn't be smoking outside of break time. After I found that out, I was pissed. Not that I got caught smoking when I shouldn't be, but because the pussy plant manager didn't have the balls to approach us and call us out on it. He is "the boss" at the place and can't come up to us and point out what we were doing is wrong? Give me a fucking break!!!
I spent 4 years in the military and never had a problem with a boss coming up to me and saying what I was doing wasn't right. I might not have liked it, but I have always and will always take full responsibility to the things I do.
So now, tomorrow morning, I'm going to be counseled on what I did and how it wasn't right by a boss that was caught smoking when he shouldn't have been. Hopefully I'm not the only one who sees the irony in all this.
My reaction to this was pretty simple. I want the plant manager to sit me down and "counsel" me on my actions. The man is quick to point out faults, but never wants to directly deal with them. I realize that I'm not perfect and I tend to avoid confrontation, but I do realize that if I'm the man in charge and caught someone doing they weren't supposed to be doing...I'm going to take care of the problem myself.
That pussy clearly came up with a course of action but doesn't want to see it through. Give me a fucking break...

Are you serious?! Firstly, the fact that you have you "counseled" on smoking and getting caught. Who gives a shit!? Why does someone else have to counsel you on that? Secondly, the the fuck couldn't he have come to you, "counseled" you when it happened and been done w/it? That doesn't make a damn bit of sense. So now what? You are hardworking, do the best you can, which is damn good, and they are taking away your music (I would kill myself if I had to work w/o music) and now you get counseling on smoking. Seriously? WTF?!
