So basically since they hired a new person for my department, (of which I was the only one) almost all of my responsibilities have been passed over leaving me to clean out old offices in preparation for an upcoming move. For the most part I am all but ignored by almost everyone here. Unless they want something moved or boxed up.

I guess they think I haven't noticed that all my work has been givien to the new person, or that while I am CC'd on most e-mails for this department they are all meant for the new chick. Or that ever since she was hired that I basically get the cold shoulder from them when I say hi in the mornings or whatever...

But hey, I am still expected to come in tomorrow and ****ing schlep boxes around. So I guess I have a job as long as there is still something to move.

I will be the 2nd person in the company they have done this to recently, and another guy I work with will probably be number 3. Maybe the fact that since I have worked here I haven't taken a break (besides lunches) will be very intersting to Labor and Industries.

:devil:

That is almost how I feel...

Office space is the best! and way too true to life to be comfortable .

Most of the passive aggressive crap Inside my office is going away....the 12 of us were pretty much dragged by our ears to many company meetings where we learned to "confront" each other on everything. You hold back, you're the one responsible...regardless of personal disputes, dislikes, or discomforts. In other words, it's a professional office, damnit! act like professionals and not like the bunch of whiney biotches we all naturally are .

I didnt come up with this, but it sounds like time for a chicken bomb.




Based on the tyrannical, juvenile lunacy with which your current workplace is run, I strongly suggest a pre-emptive strike against the Grand Pooh Bah with some Chicken Time Bombs.
In an empty mayonnaise jar, place several pieces of uncooked chicken--Tyson's 9-piece package works well. Next, fill the jar two-thirds full--but not all the way--with buttermilk. Screw the lid on tight, and you've got yourself a Chicken Time Bomb.

Hide a Chicken Time Bomb (maybe two, or three!) in a warm, dark place where it won't be disturbed or noticed (hung ceilings, behind dusty servers or refrigerators are good examples), and in a few months the fermentation gases will crack the jar.

The resulting smell is, well, comparable to being trapped in an elevator with several gutterpunks who've just polished off a hefty load of Mexican food.

So if you quit or get fired, you'll have made a stink about it, so to speak.

I second this action

Oh! I have to remember that recipe!

:devil:

Didnt you say you overhead a meeting where you were going to be kept around only for the move?

You need to stick it to the man bad. I cant believe that they are not being straight up with you. I'd be curious to know what they would say if you confronted them with, "hey, how come I dont have any work to do because you keep giving it to the new person & how come I am doing nothing but moving boxes around?". At least make them FEEL like they are being dishonest. I hate these kind of tactics, just let my ass go, dont string me along.



Oh and... chicken bomb! 1 in each box you move :devil:

By the time it went off, there would be new tennants... But I thought about it.

Yeah I am not quitting, mainly because I need the unemployment.

It's not personal, and it's not right - but there it is.

Whatever you do, do not let them think that you've given in and are going to leave under your own volition. A similar thing happened to me in the fall. Now my personnel file at my former workplace says I quit even though I was let go. It became a real mess for me when I applied for a new job because I don't lie on my jobs apps. I say I was let go, but then HR at my old place says I quit. Sticky, sticky, sticky. It's difficult to get a new job when your last job is claiming you quit, even though ya didn't!

Yeah, at least it would speed up the process... make them either tell you the truth or tell you a lie (you'll know since you already know the truth). At least you will put them in an uncomfortable position, and thats always fun

So how much you getting paid to sluff boxes around all day?

Probably not minimum wage....use the rest of the time to job search and use time during the day to go interview....like they have you boxing stuff all the time, right? Use your pay wage to your advantage and get a head start on the new job searching.

Well the money is decent, but I am working bankers hours so no time for interviews. But I am looking around for other work.

We're hiring, but you have to know how to fix forklifts and pallet jacks.
