I never lost power...im just that cool
I have a love/hate relationship with my job.
#1) I love that I have a job. #2) I work in an industry that barely felt the effects of the current economic situation. #3) It's not a really difficult job, and the compensation is ok for now.
But I hate it as well
#1) My boss is well aware of the fact that finding another job is a scary prospect right now. #2) I watch everyone else in my office get bonuses at the end of the month that I get no part of. It's a family business, and guess what, I'm not in the family. #3) In the 4 years I've been here, I've seen 3 people get promoted right past me due to their family ties. #4) While the pay is ok for now, I'm getting married in January and plan to start a family soon. May weekly take just isn't going to cut it for long. #5) In September of next year the company is relocating to Alabama. But since I am not in the family loop, details are given to me on a need to know basis.
Overall, this job sucks. I'm constantly overlooked because of not being family. When I mention it to my bosses, they take offence to it and act like they will let me go at the drop of a hat. Very unprofessional office.
I can honestly say I've never once dreaded going to work. I've got every 13 year old girls dream job (dolphin trainer) and every day is exciting. It isn't all that glamorous though. Those 20 minutes that everyone sees during the show is only like 10% of our job. I'm usually spending about an hour and a half underwater per day scrubbing algae buildup and cleaning up sea lion poop from the bottom of the pool. Getting into those outdoor pools when it's single digits out and the water is 55 is an acquired taste. With that said I would never trade what I do for anything in the world. Sure the pay sucks and forever will but thats what SWMBO is for. Training animals to do these amazing things that most people don't think are possible is just really rewarding.
Family run offices are no place to work. i especially hate when a husband wife team work together.
....what i don't like are having to work with some of the dumb a$$es and working around some really lazy people. i also don't like working with/around the younger people that are right out of high school and think they know everything and never stop arguing about something when they may be wrong about the subject.
