jake5270's blog post - Sad

I have been accused of being a corporate spy. Were it not so silly, and the fact that it could cost me my job I'd be flattered.

I have a boring job... I'm a janitor. Part of my duties every night entails picking up the trash in the main office. It's a big office, and I only have one hour to complete the chore. Why would I waste my time reading papers from the trash? There are no security cameras in the office, and since I don't enter the area until 10pm, there is rarely anyone there. My boss told me Tuesday that I was seen reading papers from the trash in not only one office, but four consecutive offices. There are lots of sensitive data, but most are shredded. Why would I risk 19 years on a meaningless job by risking such behavior? 3 and 1/2 more years until I can retire, and this bullshit arises? And, at age 62, where would I be able to find another full time job if I'm fired? Of course I'm pissed off and hurt.

My boss said it sounds like someone has a hard on for me to get me fired. That's what I don't get... I'm always polite and nice to everyone I encounter, even if I don't like them.

And the absolute firm belief that I'm innocent? To be able to read anything, I'd have to have my reading glasses on.

It's all bullshit. Accused, but not able to know my accuser. You see my predicament?
