Texas-Dallas and Ft. Worth

NWR: Vent

Someone please talk me down, before I go completely postal on my boss.

I am so sick of this freaking job. In the last year and a 1/2, I have had 3 different managers, for the same position. The 2nd manager we only had a few months but he was by far the best. He and I worked on improving our stone-age process, and making it more effecient. Just as soon as we got things rolling, the big boss changed the org structure again and we got an incompetent woman who is completely backtracking and we're losing everything I worked with the previous guy on.

I try and tell her "Um, hey.....we're adding things and making this less effecient" And she doesn't even take what I'm saying into consideration. Completely dismisses it. She has no idea what she's doing.

Someone get me out of this he!! HOLE!!!!!!!! Yell

K, done. I feel slightly better. Still want to punch someone in the face, though.

Thanks for listening!

    Aww.. Natalie I know exactly how you feel. Are you looking for another job?? You may, if you have the PTO, take a few days off and take mental health day! I hope your day gets better.

    I will come beat up your boss if you'd come beat up mine.

    Thanks girl.

    Yes, I'm looking for another job. They are supposed to be moving me to another position within this area actually. Our head honcho said he wanted me over there, and he heard I was looking elsewhere and was going to leave if I didn't get moved and he didn't want to lose me. But now they're not sure what to do about the vacancy on my team, yet they don't want to hire anyone. So, I'm still here.

    And if they don't want to hire anyone, it could be God knows when before I move. And I'm not going to just wait around!!!!

    DH told me after we get all our finances straightend out I could quit..but that won't be until the first of the year. So, I have a few more months. But I dont' even think I can make it that long. I'm looking for anything at this point, making equal to my salary now and I'm OUT!

    I would DEFINITELY take a day off and relax... de-stress... shop, get a pedicure, watch trashy TV... just take a day for yourself and allow yourself a chance to refresh.

    Brianna,

    No days off. Took a bunch of vaca for the wedding, and taking a bunch in November for Ironman in Arizona. (DH does triathalons)

    Already taken all my sick days for the year. I had several major issues at the beginning of the year.

    So...yeah.

    I called a meeting with my boss's boss at 10:30. I'm done being miserable and not doing anything about it.

    I'm throwing my Dolores into the mix.  She's apparently on a roll this week.

    I got a new job!!!!!!!!! I start Sept. 20th!

    She's moving me to the new department, AND said all the other managers think I have the potential to be put into a management role in the next 6 months!

    See....being honest DOES pay off sometimes :)

    She also picked my brain about process improvement in my current team, and said she realizes it needs work. I think she realizes my team lead is a dipsh!t too. Hahaha.

    Sweet!

    Awesome!  Congratulations.  I think it's great you told them how you feel (even though that could have really backfired).  It does pay to speak up.  Now you need to call your FI for a celebratory dinner!!

    ETA: I meant DH!!!! ;)

    It's going to be a lovely day!!!

    Yay!  Congrats on the new role!

    Thanks ladies!

    Haha, Lacey. That's funny. I saw FI at first and didn't think anything of it. I'm still getting used to calling him DH myself!

    Congrats Natalie! It's great to hear!
