January 26, 2007 ( Friday, January 26, 2007 ) argh, so it looks like I am sympathize with Annalise's current work situation as I've been "demoted" or downsized or whatever term is appropriate. For the last year I have been working fairly steady at one of my jobs, coming in every tuesday and thursday as a "relief position". I'm often left behind at work to do the stuff that nobody else wants to do or has time to do, and I don't mind that as I'm a "relief" worker and that's part of my job. I think what I do is important, my co-workers think what I do is important, however my boss does not. Yesterday, completely out of the blue I heard third-hand that my hours had been cut and I wasn't scheduled to come in anymore. Then I found out that in order to give it a positive spin, my boss had a staff meeting before I got to work and told everyone that I wasn't going to be coming in as much as I had just started a full-time position at my other job. So not only was I the last to know that my hours were gone, my boss also lied to everyone about me getting a full time job (which I don't have). All of this had happened without a word to me from my boss. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and I talked to her about it and she pretty much confirmed everything. Told me that there didn't seem to be a reason for me to be there every tuesday and thursday. I was pretty much dumbfounded. I can understand from a management perspective of having to downsize or cut costs, what I don't appreciate is how it all went down. With no notice, no information, and a big lie behind my back. So now, just a few days after I had drawn up a budget and figured out how much I need to be making each month to pay bills and barely being able to fit it all in, I find myself with my income cut in half and right back where I was two years ago when I started working, waiting for the phone to ring. |
