Recently I’ve been finding things quite challenging mainly in terms of work. Truth be told, I’m not exactly happy with where I’m working and something has got to change in the New Year. Yes it’s time to move on I suspect, for a number of reasons with my sanity being number one.
I’ve made good friends with many of my colleagues and at the moment it would appear to be that I’m not the only disgruntled person in our midst. Private conversations last week alluded to the realisation that many are troubled by how this year has gone. There have been good things but the long-term people like myself have all shown signs of stress and disagree with many of the changes that have taken place. The company is growing but at the same time, a lot of people have left or been made “redundant” and yesterday it happened again with half the marketing team being made so. Just weeks before Christmas it’s disgusting. Apparently due to restructuring.
I’m on the engineering team and none of us have ever been made redundant and doubt we will. However other changes have prevented my progression as an employee and yet they want us to fill out personal development review forms. There is no point!
I used to love this company but it’s being corprified if that’s such a word but they’re going about it badly.
The good things are that I’ve a company car and some good benefits including remote working.
That’s my rant over. Hopefully getting that off my chest will make me feel better.
Normal Nick posts will resume soon but I’ve just been up against the wall of late and glad to have 12 days off soon!!
