Since I stared my job I work hard in order that my supervisor take notice about it. One fine morning, a patron -client- ask for assistance, he had a problem with his watch. He doesn't speak English, so he wanted just a owner's manual from the web because it is a watch with blood pressure monitor and other functions that could help him as a cancer, diabetic, and handicap problems.<br /><br />I stared helping him for about 15 minuets when the supervisor call me and almost in front of him say me in Spanish that I should stop helping him because he always "lost their time" and always want that they did everything for him, and some other rude things about him like: "He's 50 and lives with his mother."<br /><br />I ask her:Did you take notice that he has just one hand? I didn't make the job for him, I have been showing him how to work with one hand and teaching him how to use the key word too. But he needs the owner's manual.<br /><br />The supervisor sent me to help a friend of her to make a Halloween Birthday party in Mexicali,Mexico while the Cancer patron was waiting for me because I told him:When I finish the invitation -that is not a job description- I will help him.<br /><br />Anyways, the supervisor say no...The cancer guy was waiting for me but I was sending to help some body else and the supervisor told him that we can't help him.<br /><br />I complain to the County Library about it because It was not just for the ill patron, also I complain about a co-worker that use to talk with a volunteer bad words in Spanish when patrons are in the library...<br /><br />Guess what, since that day in November 9,2011 she never call me to work again, I still have the library key. In my place a lady that was lay off is doing my job. This lady like many other employees didn't have any DEGREE OR CERTIFICATE.<br />I have a Library Technician certificate and I<br />know three languages.I don't know what to do and need help because I can't find a job and I know that the County Library knows about my hard work because also she was my college teacher. Any idea?<br /><br />ggabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17559868992532291264noreply@blogger.com
