More Now
Ok so here goes....
2 weeks ago I sent a 3 page email to my boss listing all the things that are not working right in the Service Desk and that we are in danger of having it collapse in a screaming heap around our ears and if he didn't step in a address of my concerns and use some of the solutions that I recommended or come up with something else I was going to had in my resignation as no job is worth my mental and or physical health.
So the Monday morning after (I sent the email at 6am Saturday as I could sleep on Friday night)he is waiting at my desk for me. He tells me I have noting to worry about and he has a fix for all of my problems and not to worry about it falling over because if I can't fix it he will simply send it to Sydney.
On Monday just gone he come in and tells us that on Tuesday we will have a meeting to "discuss the future workings of the Service Desk". Now this didn't sit well with me I came home and told john that I was uneasy with this discussion and I thought that I was about to be blind sided. John said that I had nothing to worry about bu I knew better.
Tuesday he come in and tells the my two boys what their futures are (all that was no new news) then he goes on to how the service desk will work
1 All level one calls will go to Sydney
2 The procurement of new hardware will be done by someone else
3 The procurements will be done by admin
4 The reporting will go back to the girl who use to do my job
5 All staff will report directly to him
Now at this point Alice commebts "well there goes my entire day" and he says and now we come to you. "Your skills are needed out at ARC (client site) and Jordan (guy currently there) will come back in here." So this leads me to thinking well what team will i have to lead if I am the only one out there. The answer.......none! So this is a demotion. No! Apparently this is good for my career going from management to lever 1 tech monkey.
ME NO THINK SO!!!!
I was going to resign on Wednesday but alas I was sick (actual sick) and I had yesterday and today off so looks like it will be Monday. Now I don't think that it was my work want as they seem quite (very keen) to discuss other option but I really don't think that there is much else in the company that will interest me. So we will see how thins pan out.
Now I am not writing this to get anyones sympathy as I was planning on leaving in the new year anyway so this has just sped up my plans and I am confident that the universe will look after me.
It is such a relief. All my stress has disappeared. No more 60 hour weeks for me. I am not working a minute over my 38 hours. I have a life again. So any one who wants to catch up I am free any time after 5 any day of the week I all weekends every weekend :o)
And on that note I will leave you all and stop my rambling
Hope you are all well
