on tuesday this week, a notice was posted that we would be getting a new security code for the doors at work. the number would be given to us with our paychecks, which are available at noon on thursdays.
at 11:00 thursday morning, one of the nursing assistants knocked on the window of the dining room. she couldn't get in. the code had already been changed. at 11. when our checks aren't available til 12.
when i saw my boss, i mentioned it to her, and she said it was ridiculous. she had been in the office at 10:45 when another aide came in after being locked out. the assistant administrator told the aide that the code had switched, and she should have known that. the aide protested and said she couldn't possibly have known that, seeing as she didn't have her check yet. she then asked what the new code is, but the a.a. refused to tell her: "you'll get the code with your check."
"can i get my check early then?"
"absolutely not."
"and you won't tell me the code."
"you'll find out what it is when you get your check."
after the aide gave up, the a.a. turned to my boss and said, "she shouldn't have been going out to her car when it wasn't her break time anyway."
first of all, she doesn't know when the aide's break time is.
second of all, why couldn't she have just given the aide the code when the aide was going to get it in an hour anyway?
and thirdly, how the heck can they change the code before telling us what it is? i figured we'd get it on thursday and they'd change it friday. what the heck?

sounds a bit like how the government operates
Maybe the employees are the ones they're trying to keep out.
