I have a situation at work & it is starting to really suck.
I got a promotion in Jan. to a different dept. as a graphic artist. I have been miserable in my current position, working in a dept. that operates 24/7, with terrible schedules, a psycho, drug addicted (pain pills for her back), vindictive boss, for not a lot of money. I had to bust my ass to get the job & when I got the graphics job, I worked both jobs for a month doing 6 days a week working double shifts. At this time my new boss would tell me you can start in 2 weeks. that 2 weeks would pass & there would be some "red tape" preventing me from transferring, at this point they said they had to find my replacement since the dept. I am leaving has to have someone there 24/7. Understandable. well it has been 4 months now & every 2 weeks I get the same answer...."you can start in 2 weeks". Bear in mind, my current boss is crazy as hell & she hates me. She also has issues with my new boss & they are always getting into it because she always F's something up when she works, which is rarely (that she works, i mean).
So last week I get called into the boss's office. I screwed up & made a minor mistake (recorded the transmitter readings wrong), one that I know is made all of the time by other operators even my boss, all of the time. No big deal, I am just going to admit i F'd up & not pass the blame, like everyone else does, & apologize & say it will never happen again. As soon as I walk into the office I see F'ing HR has been called into this meeting. I am baffled at this & I am now scared. My boss (crazy lady with pill bottle in her hand) continues to berate me in front of her boss & HR. I fess up to making the error...not making any lame brained excuses, & apologize. So now my boss doesnt have anything to say on that issue continues to berate me on minor things that dont even matter, she said I was arrogant...I am not, I am far from it, I am just shy & introverted. (& what the hell does my personality matter if I am good at what I do) She said I had a bad attitude & could care less because I am leaving anyway. This is ALL total BS. My performance at work has been stellar & I have even received compliments from other depts. regarding my performance. My boss said that I yelled at her once....NEVER, i dont yell (only a the dog
). She basically said I sabotaged her one night when she relieved me of my shift. The sad thing is, she is buddies with our HR director & has her convinced. I didnt argue for very long, there was no way I could convince them otherwise, so I said sorry, even though I dispute the accusations & was given an ultimatum shape up or you dont get your promotion. I was fuming & ready to walk out...SERIOUSLY ( i have never walked out on a job let alone one I have had for 6+ years). I came back the next day....like I knew I would, even when I was convinced I was going to walk out.
Well two days later I get a call from my new boss...."you start on April 18th". YES! My patience has finally paid off. He proceeded to tell me not to tell my current psycho boss because of the politics involved. my lips are sealed. I think something happened between my current boss & the powers that be after the meeting.
Here comes the :nuts:.
I found out yesterday my replacement quit. I have not heard anything official but I know they are going to keep me in my old job much longer now...until they find another chump to take the job.
Rewind---back to the meeting where I got reamed. The following day I touched up my resume' reel, updated my paper resume' & mailed a few off to some other TV stations in town. Well....I now got an interview next week at another station.
I dont really want to leave my current company because the benefits are so good, such as, kick ass medical, 3 weeks & 3 days of vacation, tuition reimbursement, etc... Plus I am comfortable there as you can imagine after being there for 6+ years.
So if they offer me a better job with more $$$ and a schedule I want, that will be the only way I will leave.
another :nuts: is that my current psycho boss will not give me any vacation time, so I have missed the 1st DH race down here & will probably miss Souther Monkey Fest.
I know this was long but I had to get it out my system...I having been purging this for months now
