Stagnating.
Can't say I haven't been grateful for all the advice given to me over the past few weeks by some of my senior colleagues.
I know they're all looking out for me and have my best interest at heart, and I truly appreciate all the concern... but, I really don't know. Sometimes, they're saying things that I don't quite agree with. For now, I'm reserving all judgement until I really see it for myself, because I don't quite trust anyone else's. If I have to learn things the hard way, then so be it.
Nevertheless, I'm really quite touched to realise how some of them have been taking care of me in their own small ways.
It's been pretty dismal at work - tensions abound, bitterness, grudgingly forced displays of cordiality. I'm just wishing the current state of turmoil will ease out soon, but that may just be wishful thinking. Yet, it has to. Sooner or later, right?
Right now, I'm more annoyed with HR / management and their mind-blowing inefficiency. I have a sickening feeling that they're just dragging out this pay issue until we all get tired and leave on our own accord. Feels like they never intended to do anything about it, and never will. Just empty words and promises to keep us hanging on like fools.
And fools we are, indeed.
