Is this bad? Posted by: Rick on July 25, 1998 at 04:57:58: I've worked at one place ever since I've been working, so I have nothing to compare it to. So, I'm asking y'all out there if my place is bad or not. I have almost six different bosses, and ALL of them want me to do something different, and all the projects are usually due on the same day, or near the same day. I don't have the option to refuse or I risk missing out on my annual raise. Not to mention the little projects I have to do in and around the big projects. "Oh, Rick, in ADDITION to what you're already working on, I need X by tommorow morning." says boss number one. A couple of my supervisors (what our bosses are supposed to be called) are pretty compassionate, but it REALLY doesn't help a whole lot. Especially right around the end of the second quarter, all six of them want me to do something different and BIG, and it's all, of course, due on the same day. I'm frequently REQUIRED to take my work home with me if I want to finish it all on time. It almost takes a natural disaster to get an opinion listened to, just by one of my immediate bosses. To get something actually DONE takes a command of GOD HIMSELF because none of the higher-ups have ANY clue what we're doing and why they should change things. The job bores me to death, sometimes so bad I experience actual physical pain while working on an assignment. Almost nothing I do seems to have any shred of correlation to where the company's going or what the rest of the world needs. The working environment isn't all that great either; the building is old and slowly disintigrating before out eyes, almost no money is allocated to its repair or upkeep. Same with the technology level. There are two rooms that have computers employees can access (unless you're a surpervisor, then there's a computer in your room). 95% of the work is done with paper and pen/pencil unless I want to take it home and do it on my computer there. Breaks are TOTALLY at the whim of the supervisor. We have to ASK if we can go to the b... (truncated) Follow Ups
