First things first....yes....that is a picture of me up there....big nose and all. ;o)
Okay, now on to what is bugging me....
So I work for a major IT corporation and most of the time it is fun....but lately it hasn't been so much fun. See, I am part of a team supporting a new account...and it's one of their largest contracts so people (management) are hyper stressed about every little aspect and if one person, regardless of who they are complaines...things get changed. Problem is, the wrong things get changed...and the things that are broken and should be changed never do.
Well, I got a call from my boss tonight. He said that things were changing on the account and they want to switch my shift around.
Okay, let me back up for a sec....
One of the things I really LOVE about my jobs is the hours. I work 12 hour shifts and end up getting half of the week to play. It's great. I have been offered other positions and have turned them down because I wasn't working 12'ves. It allows me to have lots of freedom and do many other things with my life....which I like.
K, back to my manager.....
He called me tonight and said that upper management wants me to start working 8's, m-f 8-5. They want me there as much as possible to make sure things aren't missed and that people are doing what they're supposed to.
Sounds kinda like a lead postion without the pay.....right?
Anyways, really it's a compliment and I should be honored that my name came up when they were deciding on this.....but...
Somehow....I feel like it's a slap in the face. I don't want it.....I want my shift to stay the way it is now, Sun, Mon, Tue and every other Wed 6Am to 6Pm. I even asked my boss if it could and he said that there was no wiggle room...none. This is how it is.....for now. He apoligized and said some bull about how the contract needed it this way for now.
So, the insecure part of me is thinking that this is all because I put in my three week time off request for my surgery this week....and that this is payback somehow. I know that is illegal....but it feels like I'm being punished. My manager did tell me that others were getting their shifts changed around too.
...and honestly, if I take a step out of my PMS'ing over emotional body right now (yes, I know....great timing on their part is it not?) No matter what shift they moved me to...or even if they didn't move me at all, I would think that they were punishing me for something....that is just how I am, paranoid. ;o) I hate taking time off......and I guess I feel really, really guilty that I am taking any off at all.....
So that's it.....changes at work....now I'm looking forward to getting back and finding out who else got their shifts changed and to where.
My manager is going to call me tomorrow and let me know when this is all going to start....I hope it's not too soon...I have Dr.'s appointments to go to....shoot..have I mentioned how much I hate this?
