:rolleyes: i agree with Shawn, it seems no matter how bad things are, there always seems to be room for them to get WORSE!!

:P guess that makes me a pessimist, or maybe a realist?
hahaha

well I'm NOT having a good time. In the last 2 months in particular, I have been more stressed than I ever have been before. I do almost everything and way more than my fair share. I have been doing a damn good job and what do I get for it...JIP when the stuff I shouldn't be doing doesn't get done. I do someone a favour, then they expect me to always do it then I get told off when I don't do it. How can I do it when I am busy doing picking up after almost everyone.

Needless to say, as saddened as I am about leaving my company, I am looking for another job. I am being taken for granted! I have raised the issue with my boss and he ain't listening. He happens to be best buds with the 2 lasiest people in the team so he lets them away with murder. It's not the company, it my department so I will be sad to leave it after nearly 6 years. But enough is enough and I will have a heart attack before I am 30 if I go on like this. It can be really depressing and disheartening when I work so hard and get feck all out of it

I feel a bit better now after that rant. Thanks for reviving the thread!

whoo... that really sounds like it sucks, but you could have taken up a complaint with HR. They'd be able to get your coworkers in line. Anyhoo... good luck on finding a job, i hope you get a good one.

Kiera

As you know i do a simular job as yourself, it can be stressfull, so you have my complete sympathy.

Ive thought about leaving a few times, but i think 'well, hell, what am i good at other than what i do at work'.......hmm, im good at tiling. Oh and im good at graphics.

I think i'll stay an IT Technician, it has its perks i guess. Have you thought of going into business like running a computer shop Kiera? perhaps domestic pc support?

Best of luck in whatever comes your way Kiera.

I hope you sort something out , it sucks when you are unhappy. I went through a rough patch earlier this year because of work.The people, the place , everything really got to me and i got very very depressed ( i won't go into too much detail) but then a little miracle happened and i was head hunted for a new job. I received a phone call out of the blue from someone i used to work with and now i am happier than ever, and i am thoroughly grateful every day. Things do pick up eventually.its nice when everything finally comes together

WhatWouldJewelDo · 10-08-2005, 08:21 PM

i go to school. that sucks too.

Little Bird · 10-10-2005, 08:28 PM

Well I pulled the finger out and desiced to get something done rather than just moan and let things get worse.

I went to HR as suggested Andrea. Although I went to see if there were any other jobs suitable for me there coz I really don't want to leave the company. But I also got the word out to a few people that I was looking to move. It has been well known that if a manager gets wind that a hard working efficient person is on the prowl for a new job, they tend to snap them up so hopefully that might happen too.
But more at home in case none of that works, I sat down with my boss and told him how I feel and that I am being taken for granted. He has taken it in hand already. He doesn't want to lose me. I am the number 1 performer apparently *blush* so he'd rather lose the inefficient workers and scout for a new one that is efficient than to lose me. So after he said that...I asked how much I was worth to him to keep so he's looking into a pay rise.

Feel better already! But only if he gets the lads working again.

batsocks · 10-10-2005, 09:41 PM

Yep, doesn't it feel great when you grab the bull by the horns so to speak! glad things are looking up for you.

oh my gosh Gemma, i know how you feel with the whole restaurant thing

when i worked at Papa Gino's (back when i was like 16) i got in trouble for putting too much cheese on the pizza's
when i worked at the Great American Cookie Co. i got introuble for scooping too much dough and making the cookies too big
then when i scooped less dough i got introuble for pressing the dough down so the cookies would bake bigger--never mind that it made the customers feel like they were getting more cookie for the money
i have only ever had one customer who brought me to tears though, and that was because i accidently drove onto his lawn mistaking it for the driveway, but he ended up coming in to the store to apologize for being so mad

though the closest i have come to working as much as you are was when i would take care of the girls during the day and work at night
i dont work at night anymore cause Joe takes nigth classes, but i think next year i am going to take some college courses

I know :) I hate dealing with food. You have to be careful to give just enough
And everyone has their own definition of enough :pufi:
Good luck with the college courses Andrea :) Enjoy while you have your time with the girls :)

LonelyLullaby · 12-16-2005, 01:09 PM

:) Thank you for the kind words.. I think I mostly just put pressure on myself rather than other people.. but right now I've stayed just with one of my jobs since they're giving me about 5 days out of 7 shifts and I need the money.. I just manage to keep up with this job and volunteering at the hospital. You're right though :) I don't want to miss out on my life meanwhile
