When You Are Unhappy:
What has become crystal clear is that I am really unhappy
where I work.
I have been with this company almost 10 years and in those
10 years, I feel as if I have contributed far more then what has been offered
to me.
I have seen people arrive after me and get so much more than
I will ever have (mostly male unfortunately).
small towns= old fashion ideas
If you are a man, you get so much more than a woman. (Sad
but true) They would probably say that all of these positions are paid the same;
however, they will fail to tell you that most of these positions are held by
women (stereotypical)
They have dumped considerable more work on my desk from year
to year, without a decent raise. They give us the so called “cost of living”
raise. And while the bonus yearly is nice, broken down monthly it adds up to
about $80 a month more than our pay.
The benefits are alright, but other companies offer the
same.
When people in the company act incompetently, they send you
to a course of how to “handle difficult people” instead of dealing with the
problems or the problematic people.
A “thank you” for a job well done is viewed as a weakness
and is rarely passed along.
If you are an outlying division, they forget about you
altogether unless you do something wrong.
They rarely accurately investigate real problems system wide
and send generalized emails blaming everyone instead.
I have let them break my spirit more times than I care to
count.
And have probably taken some years off my life by letting
them do so.
IT ENDS TODAY
From this day forward I am deciding to take control of my
life.
No more complaining and no more surviving my work day.
This may sound like a post from a disgruntled worker, and in
some ways it may be.
But more importantly it is a post about someone who has
finally decided to take their life back in control of their own hands.
I have heard of a site named Up Work where you can bid on
work and make yourself a reputation and start earning a decent living (not that
I need much), and I will niche out part of my home with desk and spot to work
out of and will start seeing just how much I can start making in a week.
I will keep looking for new types of fulfilling work that
will turn this frown upside down and make me a more fulfilled and happy
individual.
I need to find peace in my life. I am of an older generation
who hangs in there, and does what they have to because we were taught to not
quit.
But this type of thinking is what kills people now.
You need to find what makes you happy every day or at least
what you can tolerate in a happy manner, than to stay in a situation that makes
you totally unhappy which is what I am right now.
So this is my resolution and should be yours. It’s a bit
early to have a resolution you might say if you follow yours on New Year’s, but
mine is whenever I have finally have a light bulb moment and now is the moment,
and today is the day!
You need to find happiness and put the message out that they
cannot treat people like this anymore.
We are in the 21st century and the oppression of
employees (especially women) at this point is not to be tolerated anymore.
The age of respect and kindness should be priority and
everything else should be thrown out as the archaic way of doing things.
I am taking this to heart as I attempt a new journey to mold
and do what is needed to find peace of mind and happiness in my days.
To all my future successes and yours.
