In case you didn't get it from the subject, this is about work-I hate that I hate it so much. I have only been back to work 3 days and I am already totally stressed to the max again. On Tuesday when I returned, I had to take 3 applications to everyone elses 1 to make up for the fact that I was not there on Monday but today, the people who were off yesterday did not have to make up any apps. When I of course complained, my manager said "I expect more of you." Isn't that a lovely backhanded compliment-NOT! I resent that I have to do more and then I am just supposed to take the abuse with a smile and say "May I have some more please?"
He said that the other workers look up to me and my opinion means a lot and he doesn't want me starting some sort of rebellion there-I said I hate to break it to you, but you are underestimating everyone out there-they all know it's hell and don't need me to tell them! I told him that I was sorry he didn't get me during my "good years" when I actually dressed like a professional and made an effort to improve things, but after being passed oever 12 times for promotion, have 2 of my ideas stolen and used by others to make major policy improvements, and 27 years of cleaning up everyone elses shit, I just am burnt to a crisp. Too bad they don't have 100 spf for work!
Morale is at an all time low and things will be getting worse as we have to take on another caseload of someone who is out, take back a lousy worker who was supposed to be fired but management screwed up the dismissal papers (now that's who they need to worry about-not me) train people who cannot read or understand policy and well now I realize I am ranting, and this is a long repetitive story and it's my own fault for staying, I will sign off with my mantra:
I like my paycheck, I need my paycheck.
LOVE and HUGS to all.
