Work

So I feel like I'm stuck in this place in my life (work life) that won't allow me to move up because of my age. I feel like no matter what I try doing I will never be good enough or be trusted enough to move up and I don't understand that. I'm a good worker, I do everything that is asked of me and more. I'm always there, always there on time. I'm always willing to work overtime and work on my days off. I'm always wanting to learn and be given more to do. But for some reason that says that I'm not ready to be an assistant manager. I understand I haven't been in the industry for that long, ok. But I've proven myself to be a hard worker and I've proven that I want to be the assistant and I've proven that I will try my hardest to do the best job. But yet, they hire someone else who has been in the industry forever and who has manager experience. I like her a lot, she's nice and fun and easy to talk to. I just get run over in the mean time. I'm back at the front little desk at work and really, it is little. Hard to get work done without desk space. My days off are back to Wednesday and Thursday...supposedly until Kerry gets the hang of things and can be alone on Sundays so I can have Sun-Mon off. (which will be great if it really happens) I know a lot of the stuff has to do with Liz not liking me and that really bothers me as well. I know she's not around a lot but she still is the regional and she still gets to make the decisions. I really have an issue with people not liking me. The company also just told us we cant work any overtime, NONE at all. Not even maintenance who only has two guys and we're trying to start a rehab. Right. They also cut the amount we get for commission which means our pay is cut. It was also interesting to see that the budget calls for me to get a raise in march but yet nobody has said anything to me or to Tiffany. And of course, Tiffany doesn't have time to ask about it to let me know. I've been looking around at jobs again. I hate bouncing around like this but I'm not happy working here. I love living here, love our apartment. Just money is an issue. I could find a job that makes more so I can afford market rent on this apartment (we get 20% off) but that is only rent. We have discounted cable, free water/sewer/garbage and I walk to work so that saves a lot of gas and wear and tear on my car. It's also nice to be able to walk home to let Max out. But maybe corporate is the place for me. I just need to find something where I'm back to Mon-Fri, someplace that has good benefits, good pay and good vacation. I know most people hate their jobs but I don't want to be one of those people. I loved going to work at Piedmont but not here. Things are different and I never know what they are going to change when I go in. I almost feel like I'm back at WIT where I'm working for a small company that is trying to get bigger and they tend to overlook their employees and I don't like that. But then what if every company I go to turns out to be a bad choice as well. I can't afford to bounce around jobs. So yeah, basically work life sucks right now. Sorry I have been so depressing lately, but this is what is going through my head all day every day.
