Resisting the urge to be petty and call out my friend's hypocrisy

[(Anonymous)]

Ok, so. My work schedule has varied hours each week. My boss sets the schedule at least a week in advance, and overall I'm happy with my job. Is it perfect? No, of course not, but I don't have any major complaints.

The only time I really get frustrated with the schedule is when, on a rare occasion, my boss gets sick or has some kind of problem or weird situation going on. When that happens, she will sometimes ask, "Can you work X day instead of Y, I might need you to" and then isn't very communicative about it. Sometimes she won't let me know until 9 PM the night before whether I will work the next day.

This is definitely annoying, BUT, overall like I said the job is good enough that I'm not going to complain about it. And she doesn't do it very often. I can understand that maybe you're sick and you're not sure how well you will recover, but it is a little annoying to spend the whole evening waiting for a text to see if I'm going to work the next day or not.

If it were a frequent thing, that would be a different matter, but if this happens a couple times a year, it's just an annoying thing that I can deal with, not a big deal.

But one of my friends heard about this, and for whatever reason, she thinks it is the worst.thing.ever. SHE actually complains about it more than I do. She constantly tells me that I shouldn't put up with this, I should go to the boss's boss, I should complain, I should find a new job, etc. Like SHE will bring this up herself and then go on a rant about what I should do, even when I haven't mentioned it. Any time I'm like, well, it's not that big of a deal and I just do it because XYZ, she tries to argue with me about it.

So recently things at her job have changed, and she has gotten more responsibilities. And, on top of that, she is having to work overnight shifts sometimes to train and help out.

That, to me, is DRAMATICALLY more disruptive than having to work an unexpected normal shift. Having to work overnight? Sometimes work during the day and then have an overnight shift scheduled for 8 hours later??

So, SHE should complain, right, and tell them she won't do it and things need to change?

Ohhhh, but it's DIFFERENT in HER situation! SHE is the ONLY ONE who can do this, and SHE has to and SHE can't tell them no and on and on.

And it's taking everything in me to not point out that, hey, you're in a similar situation to the one that I am in when my boss changes my schedule abruptly! And, lookie there.......YOU AREN'T TALKING TO YOUR BOSS ABOUT IT AND REFUSING TO DO IT, EITHER.

I don't want to be that petty, but I'm just shaking my head. It's easy to tell SOMEONE ELSE what they should do, but then when you find yourself in a similar situation, it's suddenly not that simple, huh? I wouldn't even think about this so much if she didn't get so ADAMANT with me about how I NEEEEED to put my foot down when I didn't even care that much!

Your friend sounds like a real pain in the ass. I guess it's easier to point fingers and say other people aren't doing enough to stand up for themselves than it is to, well, stand up for herself. I don't enjoy hanging out with hypocrites and try to limit any time spent in the company of people who won't shut up about their tiresome hypocrisy.

Ooo I enjoyed reading this ☕️

It is very interesting indeed when Miss "Listen To My Advice" finds herself defending why she isn't doing what she keeps advising others to do.
Also, the types who are more invested in a minor issue of mine are annoying. Especially if I say something along the lines of, "Sucks but oh well. I’m managing." They keep harping on about how unfair it is, and it really isn't that big of a deal...

You've got context for your situation and she's got context for hers, but only one of you can think that through!
