Well, yesterday my boss slid a piece of paper across my desk and proudly asked me to guess what is was... Turns out it's my new salary which he thought was a raise, but is actually $1,100 less than I made last year. This is almost as good as the time that he handed me my paycheck and didn't state, but only implied it included a raise. The take home pay was higher, but it was because the retirement contributions had been reduced. :lol It's a dysfunctional game we play. He sneaks the paid holidays off my vacation time (which I'm too busy to take anyway) and I come into work 20 minutes late every day in to make up for it. I pretend not to notice. He pretends not to notice. I'm salaried, so it doesn't affect my pay. I'm way past the point of caring. The only thing keeping me here is the money and that I don't want all of my work dumped on my co-workers who are also already overworked. Been on the verge of walking out recently, but can't seem to get ---my bottom--- in gear to just find another job ahead of time and give my 2 weeks notice like a responsible adult. I feel like I need the blow-up of a walkout. |

I hear that man. :cheers: sorry bout the salary. nobody wants that. Last raise I got, I gave myself... by tweaking my tax deductions to pay less income tax. i'm hoping with things the way they are here in alberta, I'm not looking at a cut myself. It should still work out come tax time, I really should pay no income tax on my pay. I still get deducted a little. Don't get me wrong, I get paid the work I do... but for someone who's keeping things afloat (the best I can given the circumstances in this province right now) you still gotta grease the wheels if you know what I mean. been working my butt of diversifying our services and products to keep the doors open, the lights on and my pay checks coming. but still, going on 9 years at this joint... has to account for something. :dunno ah well. I got the D9200 fixed anyway. ;D |

Since this is now the "My Job Sux!!!" Thread... A few years ago I pretty much had my realistic dream job - Technology Director at the only school I've ever worked at. My wife says I was probably one of the people she knew who woke up ever morning truly loving his job. Then somebody had this great idea to consolidate technical support, basically taking the responsibility away from the campuses (7 in my district) and administering it all from the District Office. They pitched this plan to an administration which knew nothing about technology, and the powers that be bought it hook, line, sinker, you name it. 3 years later, stuff doesn't work. Teachers are unhappy and can't do things that weren't an issue before. I'm grossly underutilized - in fact, I just spent this morning finished a campus inventory - which would be fine, except I did pretty much the same exact thing a year ago. I've go like 7 years to retirement, but I'm pretty sure it will be spent back in the classroom and not doing the job I really loved. But that job is long gone, so I'm at peace with that. |

I don't mind work, or working hard - I enjoy it. What I hate, to quote Morrissey, is that I have to give valuable time to people who I'd much rather kick in the eye. |
