Yeah, so I go on vacation for 2 weeks and forget (almost) how much I hate where I work.
Started out at our 8:30 meeting. My department's being re-orged, merging with another department. No longer will our office have a D6 (though other offices still will); it's now all under D9. Lots of reasons, some of them are truly valid, and it makes sense to organize the departments this way. There is such a thing as being too subdivided for one's own good.
At the same time, hearing your boss (branch manager, local office @$$) talk about your department as a 'cancer' (I'm not making this up).... not a good welcome back.
It's not that the department is a cancer. It was poorly managed a couple years ago (well before I started with the company) and got into projects that became very messy, dealing with state regulations, etc. We're just now coming out financially from under those projects. My immediate manager (department level) described it as 'having a black eye,' which I actually feel is an appropriate description. Our department is stained, so to speak, by these actions, which we are FINALLY cleaning up. It's a big difference from BEING a stain. Subtleties of language and tact that I doubt the branch manager would understand. Not really one for the touchy-feely, tactful methods of expression...more the "Why the F*** isn't this done?" sort of discussion.
So that was how my day started....
Goodness I'm ready to be out of this place. SC itself isn't horrible, not really enough of my own interests represented here for me to be really happy, but it's not horrible. But I have GOT to get out of this job....
Only 2 more months!!!!
