Time for change...

Feb 16, 2005 14:51

Where do I even begin!?! Here is the down low so far.

We had a new girl start last week. She quit yesterday because she said the office was too profane and unprofessional. I hate to be the one to break the news to her, but YOU ARE IN CONSTRUCTION!!! Anyways, since that happened my boss decided to call me and another girl into his office (separately). He said that swearing and horseplay will not be tolerated and are now grounds for termination. Ok. Fine I don't care, but don't single out the females and don't change things because of someone who doesn't even work here anymore.

I come to find out that the girl who is here now and the new girl that got hired and fired make more than me. Boy, doesn't that boost my morale. I have busted my ass for over a year and this is how I am compensated. I take the heat for everything that goes wrong in this company and I get no appreciation for what I do. I feel that if you don't have a dick, you are not going to make it any where in this organization.

Then again today, I got yelled at for something my boss neglected to tell me. How am I suppose to know? Am I suppose to be a mind reader? Please tell me.

I am under the impression that things are not going to improve around here. The other girl and I feel we have been discriminated against and it has been apparent to some of the others in our organization. We have dealt with sexual harassment, but shrugged it off due to the nature of our industry.

Enough is enough. I can't be under-compensated, discriminated, and harassed. I need a job where they are going to pay me for my hard work and dedication. I don't care if it is doing the same thing, as long as I am compensated for it. I was job searching last night and someone with a GED/diploma can enter my position at another company making $20K more than what I make. Now how pathetic is that????

I want another job, but I am having no luck at this point. So if any of you have suggestions, please let me know. =)

I feel bad because I have a week of paid time coming my way and Kevin and I were going to go to the Virgin Island or the Bahamas in May. Now I don't think that is going to happen. I may take my vacation early because if I find another job, I know I am going to lose the time that is coming to me. I talked to Kev about it and he said that we need to do what we need to do. He said vacation can wait. We can just put up the money and save for an even better vacation. He just wants me to be happy.

Speaking of happiness, Kevin and I are house hunting. We have found a few places we are interested in, we just have to schedule appointments. =) I also got to see my "neice and nephew" the other day. God, they are so big. Kev and I are taking them in two weeks. =) It will be fun.

Once again, if you all have any job suggestions, please help. =)
