O Weblog!

Still waiting for things to slow down a bit.  I hope to get back to my posting shortly. Decisions, decisions. Cheers! 

Things are so bad at work that:

• That I when I leave work, I really leave work. I refuse to work at home now.
• I become ambivalent by the end of day. Nothing matters at that point.
• The job is really a job now.
• I have more things to do with no time to do them, and no resources do them with.
• Not that anyone cared in the first place, but no one cares even more.

The thing that concerns me more is that it is the customers who are impacted by this low moral. Everyone thinks twice before going that extra, if they go that extra mile. Enough said…

Cheers!

Well, we have been reorganized again at work. I have gone through so many at this time that I have lost count. Prior to the reorganization, I made an effort to go and see my higher up supervisor. The purpose of my visit was to express my opinion of where I would be most useful in the organization. I made a modest request that if I was not able to be remain on the development team that I would be placed back into the customer advocacy section. Well, my reqeust was denied and I was placed in sustainment. They indicated that I would still be doing development, but would be taking on more. They also indicated that I was critical to the sustainment efforts due to my overall knowledge of the environment and the pieces of the various applications.

What I failed to mention is that I sent an email message to my supervisor a while ago when he asked everyone where they would potentially like to be. I expressed the same request back then that I did now. I have sacrificed a lot for current place I work for. What that tells me is that my efforts are not appreciated by the place that I work at, nor by the people who I work for.

What this has done is ensure I will never be late going home again, no more late hours, and plenty of saying “No, that is not my responsiblity.” I am also not training the new person who came on board and now heads the development team. I can talk about working in conjuction and working closely all they want. It is not happening. They made the choice so they can teach him. I will also be asking for a raise since they acknowledged how important that I am and that I would be taking on yet even more.

Cheers!
