During the interview for my current place of employment, I asked about the hierarchy within the finance department. I accepted the offer with intentions of, one day, being able to get this manager position that was mentioned during my interview. On the first day of work, I learned that position doesn't even exist.
I could have stayed my ass at my previous place of employment.
Needless to say, I'm not happy. I addressed this during my 6-month-that-was-done-10-months-after-my-start-date employee review. Favoritism shown, low employee morale, Bitter Betty, being told I don't have enough work because I get my work done in a timely manner...bullshit.
I feel stuck. The job search hasn't been going well. I refuse to accept another job just to get away. That's how I ended up in this current situation.
After randomly taking a day off last week, I can't shake this idea of decreasing my hours at work. If I can get a day off every other week just to have a break from hell, then I will take it.
My last job turned me into someone that I really didn't like the last two years I was there. I refuse to let this job turn me back into that person.
K to the...
Update: My buddy in payroll said working a half day every Friday might be accepted more than having a day off every other week. I'll take it.
It sucks that you were mislead about the manager position. It also sucks that you now feel stuck in a company/job that you dislike this much. But it's fantastic that you are taking initiative to create a scenario that will work better for you. Once you are back in that positive space and frame of mind, the jobs will come.
