I am moving back to Germany to become a house music singer .

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

Because if I stay at my job much longer I CarolinaPeridot might have to choke somebody. Here is the scenario (beware I have share what I really feel)

I knew the operational procedures before I came to this department - I taught my damn self , no one wiped my ass . Dumbassco-worker#5 who has been in this department for over a year since the start of the department , finally does some damn work and Mr.PassiveSupervisor wants us to jump up for joy and I refuse to do it. There are some of us who always do are work but our hard work goes unnoticed. The rest of the people who finally do something its always announced like the rest of us are supposed to give a damn. Why the hell should we clap for them , they are doing their job like they are supposed to be doing . If you are going to pat one person on the back , pat everyone or don't do it at all. Now we have new people and everything has to be slowed down and if I finish my work before everyone else I get the gasface like I am not supposed to know what I am doing. I am so sick of this shit. Group A can sit in the breakroom on their ass for one hour when the rest of us is working ! and Mr.PassiveSupervisor is never around , he never sees it. But if I am seen leaving the break room after getting a drink of water , he assumes I have been there already 20 minutes talking to someone. I am so sick of that shit.

Member of Group A can ask stupid question after stupid question in the meeting for 30 minutes but if I ask something thats actually important ,its like "why are you talking ?" - I am so sick of working like this. If I hide and work alone , I am being anti-social. If I work in a group and socialize , oh I am playing around. If I say what I really feel "leave the fuck alone !" I will lose my job. I have no one to talk to because the manager does'nt give a damn - to him its like if you don't kiss his ass you are not worthy. And senior manager really does'nt care because she thinks since I am black then I must be stupid and I am not. I am not rolling over like a puppy for anyone - I just want to be treated like an equal. I don't want to be in the in-crowd , there should not be an in-crowd.

Finding work somewhere else is an option but I have been with this company for 2 1/2 years now with full benefits , health care , and GREAT pay - I am just sick of the bullshit. And I know that if I take it to the high command , a lot of shit will hit the fan. And I don't care, when the shit falls , I will put on my helmet. I want it to be equal. Not one department where some people matter and some don't. If that's the case then I will stay my happy ass at home.

4. Word for word.....

that is exactly how Mr. Tikki described his job for most
of the thirty years he worked for a certain company.

He can count on two fingers the decent supervisors he had.

We can definitely sympathize.

The Tikkis

6. I have had over 6 different managers before I came to this department.

And none of them ever treated people like this. My manager might know how to do his job technical wise but human resource wise? he lacks the ability to treat people like they are equal. I notice this on the first night that I came to the department. I am not kissing ass - I should'nt have to kiss ass to be heard. And I don't have someone to voice my concerns to at all because they are fucking idiots.

3. ok, so, the alternative to working at that hellhole is moving to germany?

isn't that a little rad? :hi:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

5. yeah it is rad ...

I figure I can make a couple of thousand , and go back to school because where I am now makes me want to choke someone.

10. IKWYM. I never thought it would happen in my profession---h.s. teaching---

but it did.
I even had an Assistant Superintendent tell me that I could learn from fellow counselor Ms. X, who kept silent, absorbed the info, and spoke only (but sagaciously!) at the end of meetings, to which I replied, "If we all did that, who would conduct the actual meeting?"

11. For now on I would work and not say anything to anyone.

I have learned that sometimes co-workers can't be friends. Some can and some can't.You have to go through battles before you know who is really on your side.

12. I wish I had some advice for you.

If it were me, I would wait until I learned of the promotion.

But jesus, I too would be furious about the breach of confidentiality. A big part of me would want to say, damn the promotion -- I have to clear this up. HR MUST know about this.

No matter what happens, your HR department really must hear of it.

I wish I could help, but, FWIW, you have whatever support I can give over the internet. :hug:
