starting to really hate my company....

I want me and my co-worker to go into NYC for a visit of my companies other sites. This required me to find sub coverage for the day for both of us. I do all this and then I am told, we will approve your co-worker, since she is a lwoer level than you and has limited exposure to other employees, & you get to meet others ar our bi-annual meetings. Mean while I've been with the company 3 years and have never seen most of the NYC sites,,,nice to have her seen them and not me - her boss (makes me feel stupid). They said if I want to go, I would have to go into work for a few hours, so not to pay for all the hours of coverage & pay my own travel expense. (they want to save the money for continuing education expenses....which I did not even ask for last year!)

How cheap can a company be than to want me to pay for travel expense of $30.

Let's not even talk about how I have 3 weeks of time to take before the end of the year,,,,but never get to take off BECAUSE I CAN NEVER FIND COVERAGE for the days I want to take off.

But they don't seem to care about that!

THIS IS BULL SHIT!!!

Thanks for listening!!!

Ah...I thought you were talking about good ole Bspan!
But you're talking about your parent company, right?

yes, the company I get my paycheck from. It's moments like this that really makes me bitter towards my company. Not like I make mega millions, that I can afford to pay for things to better me as their employee. (if I did I would not work 2 part times jobs.)

I am starting to get burnt out and hate it!!!!

Yeah..that's pretty ridiculous! I was going to say, if you worked directly for my company, they'd pay your travel expenses. It's not cheap commuting to the city nowdays.
You have a busy life Jen...try not to let this get to you!
I'll see you in a little bit!

all I can do is offer you hugs...

I am not a supporter of staying at a job you do not like...start looking...at least that will bring some optimism!!

my field ****s for other options.
Choices:
YMCA/JCC
personal traing - Full Time (husseling, no benefits, unreliable in beginning)
Commercial - no way,,,not professional enough for me
Corporate - I am here now, no way am I going back to the city to work for the same BS, different company.

Go back to school for masters in PHYS Ed - maybe someday, when we have the money that is my dream

I hate feeling like this. I love my job and what I do, but it's BS that a company with over 300 sites nationwide, and just took over/merged with another fitness/heath management copany, yet can't pay something so trivial.

Don't leave because then I won't see you!!!
