    Well the good feeling of going to work today didn't last long. To say I'm re-typing my CV tonight will give an indication towards the day I've had today! ~X(



    Grim, indeed. On top of the fact that you've been run off your feet there, recently and it's dominating your thoughts during non-work time. No prospects of things getting better?




    I spoke to my bosses yesterday and told them I'm looking for something else and updating my CV. They didn't like it because when they asked the reason I told them the truth which is lack of support from said Managers, insult of a salary and bonus for the 14 years I've been there, moral is rock bottom throughout the whole team, etc.
    They didn't like it too when I said they have not supported me one bit since my return to work after my breakdown last year. They just assumed I was back at work so all must be OK and I said that just proves they didn't bother looking at my Doctors notes! Gave me great satisfaction to tell them what I really think. Just see what happens now :-<


    If they don't like the truth, or more importantly don't change their ways, then it's definitely time to look for something else. Fingers crossed for a good result, whatever happens.

    thathurt is sadly right.......when I returned to work after loosing Steve the head of H.R sat me down and tols me that I would have to start working weekends as there would be other people that could do the job. I pointed out that We had Alice at the weekends and as she had lost her Dad I would like to try and keep things as stable for her as possible and her response was ...'Well you can still see her in the holidays!' There was no sympathy or empathy at all.

    What kind of reply is that to someone who had very recently lost their partner and has only just gone back to full time work...this was from the head of H.R who really should have known better....but then she does have to look in the mirror and see the person that she is every morning and when that person resembles Zelda from Terrahawks then that must be difficult to bear!

  • Still a bit Tee'd off.... with people who are surpost to be friends lying to , stabbing me in the back , using me the list goes on better off alone really i always see the signs when it's too late.... so i'm glad i'm on here goldfrapp friends :)

  • Worn out as overdone it in the garden this morning. 5 minutes turned into 3 hours and my back and legs are killing me. So not fit anymore (:|

    thats pretty shit :( i've had bad and good experiences at work with this kind of thing. one place i was at years ago were awful, a 20 year old girl died from a seizure while i gave her CPR and i had to tell her parents, work never even asked me if i was ok about stuff let alone suggest a break or anything. when it became clear i was struggling they just gave me a disciplinary saying i wasn;t doing my job properly. i went off sick for a while then handed my notice in.
    when i came back to work at the end of last year (different employer) after caring for my mum through her illness and eventual death they've been pretty good in all fairness. they moved me to a different post when i asked them to (better hours and team) and have been really accommodating of my doctors etc appointments. and from my immediate team there's been a general sense of understanding and compassion.

    What can I say? I know that one well, it's got to the point where I literally can not trust more than about two people I know, sad, was life always like this, have people become more selfish and less caring, is was that the way it always was????

    Sorry Jozzy, people can be a real let down.... :(
    It's a re-creation
    Again I live another life
    My imagination
    Can't cross the borderline
  • ^ its horrible when you feel let down by friends :( people ain't no good
  • Had a very narky day at work....this jumped up person from H.O came down and started throwing his weight around where it wasn't required or welcome. It isn't even his job to do so and it wound me up to the point that I had to walk away else I may not have been able to keep sch tum. He even started telling my manager what to do....things got rather heated....thankfully he did not hang around too long.
