at your job:

[Deja Q]

Is your management more keen to corral you to fit within your job description and keep you from learning or doing something new, even if your job description is very vaguely worded?

Do theygo out of their way to find fault to slap you with?

Do they get on your case if you've done something that technically is't your fault?

When is walking out or resigning the only option left?

If walking out/resigning, how polite should you be to those in charge? They've clearly done nothing but terrorize the workers...

Thanks.

1. I have issues with my boss

I find out whether or not I got a job at another company on Tuesday. The weird thing is that although I hae been intent on leaving and getting a new job in the first half of this year, that I am starting to have second thoughts and regrets.
My boss says that he wants me to learn as much as possible and do as much possible, but he seems to be holding me back. He has been in food processing management about as long as I have been alive and is very knowledgable. Almost any suggestion I make, he has already thought of before and has a reason against it or why the owners won't approve it. He favors the members of his "fraternity" (not actual, but men his own age that he has known for a while and done things with outside of work) more than me even when he privately acknowledges that I am smarter and or right.
Before the company got rid of their plant manager who was an ignorant elitist who demanded things he knew nothing about, my boss blamed me for things that weren't really my fault or gave me a hard time about things suddenly when before they had been alright. Last year, I didn't get a raise because of vague reasons with the few specific things being things that I had no idea were a problem or simply not true. I think that this was because my boss was under pressure by the plant manager, who had become his boss, and it was easier for him to blame me.
I don't know your exact situation. Could your immediate supervisors be under pressure from their bosses?
I would look for another job if I were you. You probably are one of many who do your job so you won't have the emotional thing going on that I do. That is, you know that leaving won't be taken as anything personal or that they will have a difficult time replacing you.
Be polite when you leave though. You never know when you might need to use them as a reference or that your next potential employer might know one of your bosses personally.

2. you hear nothing about the good work you do

but dear GOD make a mistake and you get taken out to the woodshed. I agree that the atmosphere now - an employers' market - is ripe with abuse; people are so terribly burned-out.

3. I can only hope it gets to the point where the masses

organize, still inherently knowing that "we, the people" means us all and that their control is anti-american; despite the reich-wing media's attempt to dumb down the populace.
