So here I am again. All agitated about the job. Let's be honest. I have a good job. Yep, parts of it are not that exciting, some of it is downright dull, but overall, I have one of the coveted "plum" jobs in the department. And I think I do it pretty well. So how is this rewarded where I work? A transfer to a shithole, because HEY! YOU'RE GREAT! YOU CAN HANDLE THIS CRAP WE'RE THROWING AT YOU!!
I told myself that whatever happens is ok, it all pays the bills, that I wasn't going to cry about it, but here I am. I know my job, I like my job, my friends are at my job, I AM HAPPY. And they are going to reward me by making me a supervisor (with no pay increase of course . . . these are tough economic times) of a mess, where nobody wants me, and not only do they not want me, they are going to be resentful. And it's a mess with a thousand times more responsibility. Oh, and did I mention no additional pay?
Maybe it's time to look at some other goals. I could teach school and make the same or better money, and have more time with my kids. I know that isn't without it's headaches, but headaches at the current company don't seem to be in short supply either.
