An Anniversary of sorts...
Previously, on Hankish - the network slayer:
Today is the mark of 4 years for my tenure here at Nuvo Network management.
Today, I was not congratulated, I was not reminded of years of duty with a heart-felt thank you, I was not mentioned in the weekly email from the uberboss (although others were) I wasn't even bought a coffee.
I would have forgotten had the HR lady and my manager had not brought it to my attention yesterday... Appearantly, they mentioned that I might be eligable for more training and 5 more days of vacation but they would have to get back to me...
When asked when I was last trained, I stated that Nuvo had never officially trained me even though I had asked at least once every year. I was asked if I remembered if my initial contract included a statement stating that at the four year mark, I was entitled to five more days of vacation. I said yes (as much out of reflex then anything else...) and this is being reviewed...
Perhaps the most humiliating thing that is happening is that after a year of working either days or evenings, we are going back to a rotation that includes midnights again. There was no advanced warning, there was no request for comments. Management (and I use that term loosely) decreed that this was fair for all and that this is how it's going to be.
Needless to say, I plan to leave here soon. Midnights robbed me of some of the better things in my life and I do not wish to lose more precious moments with loved ones due to bad scheduling. I was always able to cope with the stupid decisions of management in the past but now, I refuse to let them belittle me.
I only hope that this which is my life could throw me a bone and direct some luck my way.
To be continued...
