Re: MAJOR blow up at work !!!!
This is total baloney, and the man is a fool.
I can't even remember now what got me so angry (there is so much to choose from), but I finallly made up my mind I have had enough. This is ruining my joy AND my career. I am capable of doing so much more, and in fact DID so much more where I worked before.
So I vented to one of the office girls on Monday that my boss is a screwball AND that his (and my) manager is useless. She said, "You have GOT to talk to Mark".
"Mark is our corporate sector V.P., not a guy whose time you want to waste. The man has never said more than "good morning" to me and never engaged me in conversation.
In the area I work, he has wandered thru about every six weeks - we never see him.
Anyway, I took her advice (and intended to walk out after talking to him) - and I went in and asked for some of his time. I then closed the door.
I vented that my boss, in 30 years, thinks less of me and expects less of me than anyone ever. I told him of all the nonsense about me "not being ready" to travel or work alone and that I am told I am not qualified.
He asked many questions, and offered advice, then asked: "Do you want me to get involved?" I asked him to let me give it one more shot.
So, I went to my boss and told him it all, and STARTED with the "you think and expect too little of me, less than ANYONE has in my 30 year career". He seems VERY shocked at this! (He's an engineer, and is clueless).
Well, as of today, I am now told, by him, that I will go next month, alone, while the other tech is on vacation - and will deploy a system myself!!
As a side note, that "office girl" came to me and said, today, "Something is up with Ken" (my boss). He has spoken to no one since tuesday. Which is odd, cause he usually does not speak to me, but has been coming to see me about every two hours!
It looks like the big boss was very angry and had quite a talk with him. I guess paying me what they do, corporate expected me to be DOING MY JOB by the time I'd been there 8 months!
So, it looks like I won this one. But I suspect that , in time, the boss will probably go back to his usual creepy-snotty-condesending crap.
Fine. 'Cause on monday I mailed off a resume, and they interviewed my by phone today for an hour. We have a lot to talk about, but they said that IF there is a deal, I coulid be working for this other company in 2 months, anyway! ;)
And by then, maybe I'll know if I can stand working where I am at.
They asked me what money I want, I gave 'em a number 10% above what I make now - since I got about a 50% raise when I changed jobs, I figure that's good enough for now.
God is good to me, I always know this. I just questions why my sister suffers so.
But I know I am blessed.
Oh, and the VP has now walked thru the production and staging area 3 to 5 times a day, every day this week.
He's keeping his eye on what is going on.
This never happened, he sent another tech with me. He told me I "wasn't ready..."
