So its Saturday and I'm already dreading going back to work on Monday. As mentioned in my previous blog, I found my job posted on the internet last Saturday. I was growing suspicious because for about a month, my workload was increasing about 3 fold and my manager has been giving me the cold shoulder treatment. Finding the posting solidified it. I need to get out of that hellhole.

So I went to work last Monday and acted like I knew nothing. The week sucked. There were piles of work on my desk. Everyday, I had nine or so separate projects I had to complete that day. Amazingly enough, I got them all done each day. In secret, I had made plans to meet with one of the best headhunters in my Industry.


So now I guess I'm fucked

The company I work for used to just suck. Some days I could tolerate it, most days were a nightmare. Lately, management has been really hostile towards me. Last night, I figured out why. My manager posted my job on two job sites. Initially, they told me they were just hiring on extra help. The listing, however, is listed for a complete replacement.

They list all my current job functions and have them all as requirements for this "helper job". They told me it was a different title, a Junior version of my current job. This posting, however, lists my position. Sneaky ass bastards are going to try to get me to train my replacement! WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF SHIT IS THIS!!! Unethical bastards. They should be straight with me rather than trying to make my job suck so much that I quit on my own after I train my replacement. Wow. I'm onto them. There will be NO TRAINING!

I spent the last day working like a lunatic for my boss Sue. She had me running around doing all sorts of crazy things and blaming for anything she could think of. She goes to a meeting and screws up using her digital tape recorder. Who's fault? Mine. She said I gave her the recorder full (even though it had well over 1 hour free on it when she handed it to me. Rather than explain the problem, she just starts flipping out at me. In fact it was her fault for just pressing all the extra buttons on it. I know some people aren't very technically savvy, but come the fuck on. Its a god-damn recorder! Its not like you have to program anything! I mean, you can use a fucking cell phone and you can't use this?


My Job Sucks Hairy Monkey Balls

Don't get me wrong. I love what I do for a living but i DESPISE who I do it for. My bosses are complete tools who spend the majority of their days finding ways of complaining about what I do or don't do. Now, I already do TONS of shit that isn't in my job description. I'd like to go into further detail, but just in case the walls have eyes, I'll just say I do all this company's IT, web design, programming, and print design not to mention any other pet project my manager happens to throw in front of me. Email breaks, I fix it. Computer goes down, my job too. Network or server crashes, guess who has to fix it? My sorry ass. If I do a good job, I get nothing, but if I so much as miss a freaking period on a sentence, they send in the fucking execution squad. I get the lectures about how I have to do a better job at checking my work. Sorry, I'm too busy doing everything else I'm being asked to do. I hear my boss has a book she keeps about every employee which she writes down EVERY mistake you make no matter how minor they are. I was getting screamed at by week 3 on the job. I kept telling myself it would get better, but it has only gotten worse. To make matters worse, I know there is no way my boss will ever give me a raise. Shit, she keeps the book just so she never has to give anyone a raise. I am severely underpaid, over-stressed, and FUCKING PISSED OFF! And to top it all off, my company only observes six holidays total and I barely get any vacation time or sick days. I had to wait half a year to even get a single day off or any health insurance! 401k? Fuck no. Why would I need to retire. I should just work until I drop dead.
