Catching Up

SOO! For all of you wondering.. here is the build up to got me to where I am at now...

Well the last time I really posted LAST FEB... guess I did not do too good of a job with sticking with writing... I was already complaining about how I did not think my job was for me... Way too much corruption and corporate BS to deal with.

Well no matter how hard I worked, no matter how much of a positive face I put on things were not getting any better... I was looking for new jobs... and striking out all over the place... a bit discouraging...

I was forced to work over the summer, but was told I was going to be the new Marketing Manager... a position I have been pushing for! Except... oo my main account was in the process of a complete re-haul and ALL of the managers being brought in to run it we BRAND NEW! So needless to say I was strung between two jobs...

Positive side both of the two main managers to come in were great! Particularly the new ops manager. We all ended up spending pretty close to 80 hours a week together for 6 weeks straight... Long and short of it we got close... I also kind of fell head over heels... not quite sure its reciprocated... but it was too good of a feeling to really care...

Well MORE AND MORE bs and games happened and next thing I know OPs manager is basically getting forced out and I have to put my new position that I have been working REALLY hard in completely on the back burner to take his place -- for what is supposed to be temporarily.

Well he leaves... which he ended up being the only reason I was staying... I was/am miserable going to work... Then the kicker... I get told I am getting laid off for a month over the holiday break (3 days before I actually am supposed to start my layoff!!) because of payroll issues. Now I know for a fact that of the FOURTEEN!! salaried managers ONLY TWO of us got laid off... both happen to be very close with the ops manager that just got forced out... coincidence? doubtful! By the way... I am going on year three with the company and have gotten paid both of the last two holiday breaks -- and I have NEVER seen a manager get laid off during this time of year!

Additionally, when I return... oo my position is being taken away from me... no write-ups, no counseling, great performance review, and I am constantly being told I am doing a wonderful job... OO and not only am I losing my position... I have to take a demotion and be the assistant manager... when I have been running that account for at least a year and a half and have trained THREE managers how to run the account in 2.5 years!! YOU ARE KIDDING ME RIGHT?!! I am in the computer as the director and the person going into the director position is only in as an associate director... someone please tell me how this works??

I called HR to see if this was appropriate, allowable... they just told me I need to contact my bosses boss... who I have no relationship with, who is also my bosses biggest supporter no mater how inappropriate the things he does are... So tell me know why would I contact him?? But they literally gave me NO other option... so I just let it all go...

And this is where I will leave you... I come back from layoff tomorrow... cannot wait to see how this goes.
