One of those days...

Monday, May 14, 2012

So, I'm trying to blog more and I have a sneaking suspicion a recurring topic will be my job. Today was one of those days. I used to really, really like my job - until earlier October - when the team's roster changed...for the worse. But I'm not gonna go into that now.

We have a lot of growth at my job (it's true!) and there have been recent re-org-type changes. These changes include, but are not limited to a new manager with limited knowledge of the overall picture and new duties for me that 1) I didn't ask for and 2) I'm not being compensated for. The latter is not so much an issue for me.

Here's my issue with today. I got reprimanded for doing what was right a time before, but it was wrong today. There's enough that's confusing these days without having the same thing be right one time, then wrong the next. I don't get it. I could ramble on, but I'll save that for another time. Heavy sigh.

I do recognize I am fortunate with my employment, as there are many not working who would like to be. Out of the things I have to complain about, I'm thankful to have a job on that list - even when it drives me crazy.

    I hear you. You try to do the right thing and find out it is no longer correct? So sorry and how frustrating. My husband got a new boss, who reorganized the department and my husband's position was discontinued :(

  Maybe we could start a club for people who got a new manager they didn't ask for during a re-org. I really, really... REALLY get everything you said. I know I have a "good job" but I still dread working each day. But I've decided not to let it keep impacting my health the way that it has for the past few years. I WILL make time for exercise and I WON'T stress eat junk food all day. Hang in there and we can get through the crazy workdays to enjoy the rest of life.

    You maybe thankful you have a job...just a suggestion maybe being thankful for this job is not what you should be doing...being thankful that you are who you are is better thing to be thankful for.
