What Happened To This Company

I love this site! It comforts me to know there are other miserable fucks out there suffering like I am. How fucking twisted is that?

This company I work for used to be the best. I loved getting up and coming into work. In fact, I hated going home because of some of the crap that happens there when your elderly parents are living with your wife and 2 kids. This used to be my escape.

But things have changed. I'm now a miserable fucker 24 hours a day, and it is all because of this hell hole. I'd like to leave, but they pay me very well. There is no chance I could earn this much elsewhere without working 12 hours a day, and I don't need money that bad! I have a whole list of things I'd like to get off my chest. This place has slowly deteriated into a fucking shithole.

My first rant will be about my manager. This guy started working here after me and he is now my manager. I don't have a problem with that, I didn't want to be the manager. But he should show me some respect since I pretty much WAS the IT department here a good 5-6 years before he came on.

We are working on a project that is mis-managed like you would not believe. Get this: we are almost 2 years now on this project and are so pre-occupied with artsy-fartsy documentation and naming conventions, that we are not in any position to start coding yet. The project deadline by the way is in 2 months. This manager seems to worship the advice of some stupid old fucking bitch we are using as a resource for this project. Every fucking design decision goes through her. In meetings where I think I have a valid point to do things one way, and that bitch wants it done another way, my fucking manager always, ALWAYS bends over for the bitch.

I have absoutely zero job satisfaction these days, and its' all because my manager doesn't seem to value my opinion on anything. Well, fuck him. This project is one of the all time turds (S.S. Lincoln Log) and will sink to the bottom of the toilet very soon.

I used to be involved in a variety of projects. But now, I'm basically just on this fucking project, and the manager doesn't give a rat's ass about my thoughts. He's got me writing how-to documents that have little to do with this project. I thought we were an IT shop, but apparantly we are also in the business of producing a series of how-to computer science books.

Fucking asshole. Go to hell.

I know where you are coming from, I got taken on as a support engineer and now spend about 80percent of my time gathering data so the bastards in hq can complain about our call centres performance. it sucks, hardly a good use of our time. Well not for long, Im going to head for the hills very soon, suggest you do likewise. Good luck!

This fucking job is making me depressed. I just feel like a zombie in there, alive and dead at the same time.
