Aug. 21st, 2007 02:29 pmMy job depresses me. So many people that I like are getting screwed over right, left, and center. While I (so far) am flying under the radar, it really sucks to watch everyone around me melt down, or live in a state of perpetual frustration, or simmer right below the boiling point. These are good, hard-working, helpful people who just want to do their jobs and do them right. And instead, they're getting sidetracked and screwed over at every turn by people who don't seem to understand how the process even works. I know this is the way corporate America works, but damn if it ain't hard to watch happening to my coworkers.
I'm also worried that all these little changes will snowball into something huge. So many people already have one foot out the door. What will my job be like if these people throw in the towel? That's their perogative if they do, and I'll be the first one to wish them well. But it makes me trepidatious in regards to my responsibilities and tasks if this should happen. This company has a wonderful pattern of losing employees and then just delegating their tasks to whomever is left behind, rather than hiring more staff. Things could get ugly for me.
But when all is said and done, I don't dread going to work in the morning like I did at my last job. And I'm treated like an adult as opposed to a problematic child. So from that angle, it's still good.
