Long time overdue…
It’s been over half a year now since my last post and I’m blaming it on work. Fridat I took off. I deserve it having worked an average of at least 14 hours a day the past few months. I really don’t get it why they don’t at least shift the human resources around a bit in our department, why do some of us have to work till midnight and others only 8? What’s even worse is that the global economy is getting back on track now and they respond by hiring new blood a few months too late. The factory is running on over 100% with a 20% workforce that doesn’t even know the basics. They expect the slightly more senior people, like me, and I really do mean only slightly more senior to teach the newbies about the tricks of the trade. The problem is we’re already working on overdrive with a skillset that’s at best 75% of what it needs to be and now we have to some how take time to mentor. Not fair for us or the new guys. And on top of that, obviously your boss will not take this ‘teaching and learning’ time into account when giving you work. Anyway, the longer I stay, the more I think I should leave asap.
Just took the annual health check about a week ago. I’m sure lots of numbers will be in the red b/c of this first year at work. Oh, and I’m definitely swearing a lot lot more!
