FINAL DAYS...

So after much decision and deliberation... I have decided to leave this lovely industry of recruiting to return to the science world where you are actually respected for your position and able to use the brain God has graced you with, instead of being a "phone operator" and be treated rudely. In one of my previous blogs, you learned a little about the new routine we were all going to have to endure here. Since then, this place has done a 180 and has indeed lived up to the place I thought all these changes would make. Here is a little recap of the fun!

1. We indeed need to be into work by 8am... seems normal yes but what happen to the convenience of "FLEX TIME" we were promised. I definitely put in more hours a week prior to my 8-5 schedule since it was self motivation instead of being forced upon. Dare to come in late cuz you'll be made an ass of....

2. Wednesdays were dedicated to staying in for lunch - the training was stupid and almost common sense...

3. Our company acquired another mom and pop shop recruiting firm - well these "mom and pops" were awful and each promised a job.... she the new director of training and he the new president of my sector.. besides being discrimatory, he was rude, loud mouthed and just plain out awful to work for.... Recently, he was "investigated" by HR and has all of a sudden decided to leave the company for "personal reasons"... nonetheless he may have left but will still be paid his big buck salary for 3 years... how convenient and some lawyer he got himself..... i would love to get paid to do NOTHING!!!

4. The latest and greatest ordeal I was involved in.... last week I won a thing where Wired 96.5 comes to your job and gives out free stuff and broadcasts from your workplace..... So they were suppose to come on Wednesday.. we let our bosses know, the rest of the office and then Marketing.... yes marketing needed to know.... we later find out the she would need to come to be the official spokesperson and basically do free advertising for our company instead of it just being something fun... so she decides she will come out, whatever since we arent allowed to talk to the press and media like we are on Channel 10 news here or something... well because she wasnt going to have enough time to "prepare" something she gets HR involved and I get this lovely email:

'It was brought to my attention that this radio station was coming to the office tomorrow to speak with employees. After speaking with our PR firm, marketing, the VP and the radio station, it has been decided that this meeting is not in the best interest of our company as well as its employees. This media interaction needs to be cancelled immediately. In the future, no employee is to have direct contact with the media regarding the company without express consent from the VP or marketing. Please confirm to me that this has been cancelled directly with the radio station.'

As you can probably deduct, yes the company also went to the extent to find out what I wrote to the radio station to get them to come to our office. Luckily, I didnt write what I would have loved to, but their comment still was 'Although it wasnt bad, it wasnt 100% positive either' which means I wasnt a picture perfect ad for the company!

So here it is Monday, I have my resignation letter typed, printed and signed and my boss isnt coming in today! Now what to do.... but sit here bored!

Peace!!
