It’s been a long, rough week. I can’t decide whether or not I’ve just got an effed up view on the world, or if it’s the rest of the world that is having issues…
My boss will be leaving soon, and there is going to be a rather large void of knowledge and information when he leaves. It would appear that many of his problems will become my problems. I am SO not prepared to deal with that. Have I been able to make this clear to anyone? Of course not - it would seem the course of action for management is to put their heads in the sand and pretend he’s just not really leaving.
One of my coworkers is going out starting on Monday on disability because her blood pressure has gone way too high, most likely work-stress related. Will anyone take note of this???
When I signed on here, I was aware that they were going through some general transistion issues, which is totally normal. However, what we’ve been going through over the past several months is more akin to shock collar training. Corporate is more than happy to tell us we’re doing everything wrong, (and in the most hostile manner possible) - but they prefer not to give us any real guidance as to how to do it “right”.
I am attempting to work on what should be a fairly straighforward project, but I just can’t make it work. At all. I’ve just about given up on it. I’ll be taking it home this weekend and trying to make it work there. I can’t tell if it’s that my brain has turned to complete mush, or if it’s that this is really more convoluted that it seems. The worst part is this is one of my boss’ problems that is going to become my problem. If I can’t figure this out, I am screwed.
I am tired and frustrated. Yes, this should all be my cue to get out of here - I just have to figure out where is next.
