I know changes are coming. What with the supervisor being 'terminated' (the difference from 'fired' seems to be some sort of check given upon her accepting her new lack of job status) and all the new folks in the office it is just a matter of time before things go to hell in a rather sizable hand basket. My department has been experiencing some major growing pains. The company is 60% larger than it was a year ago. We are nearing the 20,000 tower mark. The last week of 2011 we got plastic placards with the 10,000 tower milestone. That's a lot of towers.
That said, we haven't hired anymore people in my area. Nah, why when we will work overtime if we have to? My team leader put her foot down and demanded someone to take on some of the overload. We got a kid right out of college with an empty resume. Sweet kid. I think she may even be twenty-one but not positive. We will probably break her. My company is good at that. Raises and reviews have not happened yet due to various questionable reasons. Mostly it seems they are too busy buying up more stuff to see that we get told how hard we work. There was talk about a computer crash but the month before the excuse was too many other people were involved so that was causing delays. The stories don't match up. But any and all raises would be retroactively paid. So that is supposed to make us feel happier?
The annual outing for last year still hasn't happened (picnic in park three years ago, two years ago the mini cruise and last year more work). It was supposed to be next week but that's been cancelled for now. Seriously? Just give us 50 - 100 gift cards and we will all grin!
My writing time is suffering because of all the overtime. Next week I am carving time out however I have to. I need to write!
Didn't even get time to dig up any new pictures from my camera so this is probably a recycled one below.
