Update on unhappy blog

Saturday, September 23, 2006 6:35 PM

I'm temporarily in luck: most of management was out of town for the rest of the week, so peace and sanity reigned at work for at least a while.

I sincerely want to thank all the wonderful Browncoats who responded to my previous blog. You are all the greatest and you helped restore my faith in humanity. It means a lot to me.

I've since calmed down a little, but I'm still going to look for another job. Here's my latest theory on management's M.O.: they must be aware that there are a few discipline problems in the company, but for some reason they absolutely refuse to confront the few (and there really aren't very many) people who are causing these problems. Maybe they're afraid of a lawsuit from a disgruntled employee? I have no idea. Instead, they've decided to punish ALL employees.

I heard a manager yesterday say, "Don't take it so personally. This is a company-wide thing." Did she hear what she was saying? Of COURSE we're taking it personally, because we're all being told that we're, in effect, little children who can't be trusted to act responsibly on our own. If management wasn't there to keep us in check, who knows what would happen? (Maybe we'd all be happier and a lot more work would get done. Ha!)

Anyway, I'll see if I can find something else.

Meanwhile, thanks again for your support.
