I am venting about work…

I am venting about work…

I feel like I am doing this more and more now which is not good. I work in one of the worst organizations possible. Not only is employee enthusiasm, recognition here out of wack but my boss is starting to bother me. To the point that I really am going to tell her off. What she did on Thursday afternoon was really the last straw.

I just realized sitting here pondering over looking for another position, that, I will be here 4 years after my wedding. I will then be fully vested in 401K. BUT THIS IS 8 MONTHS AWAY!!!! I don’t know how long I can hold out any longer.
If I try, which I will try my hardest to stay here that long, is there anything I can do to keep my sanity? I really wish I can put a bubble around my seat so no one can bother me anymore. The sound of her irritating voice behind me is not soothing either.

I know what you mean, I am really at the point where I am ready to high-tail it out of my company. I stay for my salary and the benefits, though, because my FH and I couldn't live on his salary alone at this point. So if you are in the same situation, unfortunately you are stuck like me!

Another thing to think about is this: my cousin just put in for his resignation for his job, because his wife makes good money and he wanted to find something better for himself and just relax for a while. ONE WEEK after he resigned, she got laid off. So now they're BOTH out of work and struggling to pay the mortgage. No matter how much I HATE my job right now, I know that it would be far more stressful to be unemployed.

I don't know if that makes you feel any better, but I'm sure that things will work out for the best! Everything happens for a reason... maybe you'll get an incredible job offer 8 months from now

I know excatly how you feel. I cant stand it here. I am losing my mind. They want us to do more and more for less and less. I dont like working for big Corps. They do not care about their employess only about $$. I should have left over a year ago when I had the chance.

Re: I am venting about work…

Well...if you are willing to take out your 401k (pay a penalty) and put it into and IRA, you can do that...but I understand you wanting to be vested and all. But at the same time, do you wan to be miserable for 8 months??? I know the feeling of being miserable at work, a place you spend 40 hrs a week at! If you do decide to stick it out, maybe add some humor to the situation, like imagine your nasty boss in her undies embarrassed at a meeting or something LOL. Or talk to HR - any way of getting a transfer? To another dept maybe?

Re: I am venting about work…

Sorry you have to go through this girl!!! I am also going through this with FH. He hates his job- he and his boss are NOT the best of friends. He really wants to tell her off. I just try and tell him to stay calm. Do not burn any bridges.

He is actively looking for something else. I keep trying to tell him to look at the bigger picture, but it is getting harder every day.

I hope you find something too.

Re: I am venting about work…

We aren't financially capable for me to quit and look without working. I know I have to deal with it. Corporate is not for me anymore. I really hate it. Seeing all the a$$ kissers, losers, boxes here and everywhere else I have been is too much. I always said I would never let a job take over my life. I would never live for my job. And I haven't. But when people expect me to do that-that is when it irritates me.

I hate the corporate world too that is why I am getting out of it. I understand you a little. Thank God I love my boss and my boss loves me, so thats the only reason I have stayed here for so long.
