Diss Organization
Do you live to work, or work to live?These days, if it weren't for my outside interests, work would surely drive me wild. My boss is crazy, my company treats us terribly, and I'm halfway to 6 months. At first, I was all gung-ho to do two years, and consider myself able to search for a much better paying job. Now I think it'll be a miracle if I last 6 months. Getting up in the morning is brutal.
I blame management. I love my coworkers. My job is not glamourous, but it is rewarding. Our clients are good people, trying to run their business, and give their customers good service.
But we are not encouraged to think outside the box, find more efficient ways to do things, or even work outside our job description. We have no clearly defined procedure. There is no job training. We don't get benefits, and the HR policies they do have aren't observed.
Why the hell am I still working there? Especially since it's not even a job in my field?
I love my coworkers,they have become my circle of friends in this new city. I appreciate that I am earning valuable experience. As someone only 1 year out of university, that is important to me.
Not important enough to leave my ethics at the door, however. If things don't change really, really soon, I think I'm going to have to bail. *sigh* I'm so tired of job hunting. I think it's more a case of I am really, really bad at working for someone else. Maybe I just need to start sewing again.
Time to start sketching :)
