    Am i overreacting?

    I think i have a manager out to get me...

    Im currently in ODV, and i had a bad cash flow coaching while doing balloons ($50 short)...

    I kept thinking, i been doing balloons a lot during summer, and there was once i was short badly, but i knew why. I just puzzled me. SOOO, i pulled a calculator and started doing calculation and i was right, something didnt add up.

    Soooo, i took it up with the manager that gave me the coaching on my record. I showed him the # and PROVED that i couldnt have been $50 short. So, it turns out the # of balloons i went out were correct, but apparently, i didnt count what "TYPE" of balloons i had, so thinking i was given 5 extra balloons, i was given the 5 balloon into my count...

    SO yes, even though every single balloon cost $7 (yes, its expensive), i recieved a coaching for not counting what type of balloons i have. and i am the only one in trouble for it.

    You think i can challenge the coaching with the union or HR? I mean, its still on my record aka means BAAAD, it might hurt my chances of transferring...

    i am pissed off atm. yes, its probably nothing big BUT STILL, something not MY FAULT is blamed on me, that is completely pointless error on THEIR end... and im gettin in trouble for it... :\

    I think if you feel you were not trained sufficiently for the job you are doing, and are now being blamed for a policy you didn't even know about, you should try to fight it. You don't want it on your record, and having it expunged shouldn't be an issue since this isn't your fault. Working with money directly stinks.

      A coaching is not a discipline. If you want to transfer or cross-train or whatever, it most likely won't be looked at.

              meh- if that Manager had a real concern they could have sent you to Cast Health for a test. Seen this done on more than one occasion.

                  Short answer: yes.
                  It's good you found out what the problem with the money was, but remember you can't always rely on someone being exactly right before you. This goes for any department. Just do an inventory check before each time you head out and you'll be fine.
                  If this manager's a problem, just lay low for awhile. It seems like you sometimes provoke them from past posts. Just keep it cool and they'll find nothing wrong with you.

                          Yikes. From my understanding was suspcicions were to be addressed right away. If no evidence was progressing and the Manager (or investegator) still felt suspicion they would then 'put the CM out' (some of you know what this means) and they'd either be separated or let back (with pay) shortly later. In regards to drug tests, it's really nitty gritty but it's simply easier to comply unless you really feel like you're 'being violated'- though one thing I do know- I had a CM once who refused and he never came back... Nonetheless if you've done nothing wrong you should have nothing to fear and if that's not working you need to go further- like HR, SSS (Security Special Services), or your Union- but that's all last straw IMHO. Also IMHO HR would be the quickest results- as they don't want the 'hostile workplace' stuff even brushing the Unions ears. SSS would most likely investegate the incident and pass it to HR/LR. Meh- good luck!

                              Just schedule an appointment with someone in Labor Relations. Have your Shop Steward (even though most all of the unions that represent Disney Cast Members are absolutely useless) with you. Heck, have them arrange it so your Shop Steward has no excuse not to show up.

                                  I know it's a bit outta place, but what is "coaching"? I'm assuming it's an ODV thing, right?

                                  But yea, if talking to a manager doesn't work and Labour Relations, I'm assuming, hasn't been much help, do get the shop steward involved. They may be able to get something done (more likely than not, but it can't hurt, hopefully).

                                  Other than that, have you considered transferring to another division like QSR or something, or maybe thinking about transferring between departments?

                                    Coaching is a form of discipline. It applies to Attractions as well.

                                      I would involve union...They also cant accuse you of doing drugs without proof or statements


                                      BUT! does ODV have an OG? (and is it in the OG?) also we're you trained on having to do what u messed up on?

                                      If it's in the OG that you have to, or you we're trained correctly and your trainer said you have to do that than you cant do much about it...
