mamajumps 0 #1 December 12, 2007 Things at my job are falling apart at the seems. I work for a local church conference that oversees all the churches for this paticular denomination in Florida. Starting about mid-october MAJOR changes were made, 2 positions were elimanated, for two long time employees. Then last week, 2 more were eliminated for 2 more ladies who have been here for 2 years. My supervisor tells me I am ok. However, one can never be 100%. I have been working here 1.5 years and for the first time ever I am hating my job and with the exception of a handful of people, I dislike most of those I work with. I have been chair of the social committee for the past year and recently one of the higher ups went whining and crying like a spoiled brat just to get her way concerning a pre-christmas event. I know I am just venting, I don't graduate until May so I am here at least until then....(hopefully). The people whose positions have been eliminated have all said there is more to come... moral is very low, and distrust and anger is high through out the building. I hate being angry and having a bad attitude, but lately, it pretty much goes with the place.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 35 #4 December 12, 2007 Quote I hate being angry and having a bad attitude, but lately, it pretty much goes with the place.... I disagree. Just because others have a bad attitude doesn't mean you have to also. You are in charge of your emotions. Now smile, count your blessings that you weren't one of the ones laid off already and think about happy stuff.

BillyVance 34 #5 December 12, 2007 Hang in there. When you get your degree and find a new job, call a conference at your current job, and when everyone's seated. Turn around and drop your pants or lift your skirt and say "kiss my hiney end, I'm outta here!"

mamajumps 0 #7 December 12, 2007 Yeah working for a church is a sure fire guaranteed way to turn one against organized religion! I used to go to church every Sunday (my church is not affiliated with my job), but havent been in a few months now. It breaks my heart cause my kids are begging me to go. But come Sunday morning I just cant bring myself to do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamajumps 0 #8 December 12, 2007 what spurs on my attitude is interacting with the people who I know are the butt kissers. I do my job to the best of my ability 100% of the time. However I will not kiss ass. The line is very divided here,it is very obvious who they are and who the rest of us are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #9 December 12, 2007 Quote what spurs on my attitude is interacting with the people who I know are the butt kissers. Just make little kissy noises when they walk by and pretend you have no idea what they're talking about if that ask you about it.

Or you could send them an artificial ass with a sign that says, "Place Lips Here", leave it on their desk, and charge it to their expense account as training material.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACMESkydiver 0 #16 December 12, 2007 It's just a job...unfortunately jobs are not for the employee's happiness, they are meant for the bottom line. It helped me to remember that when I was in crappy jobs.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
