This was not a good week. Tuesday my asst gave her 2 week notice 😩. I feel had I been allowed to hire her permanently, she may not have left so easily, I didn’t even ask IFI could replace. I immediately contacted the recruiter asking for another replacement. I was also told I’m losing all my comp time, 250hrs. I’m extremely pissed about this. Now if I want to take off a random day, I have to burn a vacation day🤬. I earned that time for far too many weekends and late nights I worked. 😮‍💨 I told my boss that I refuse to work 45-50+ hr work weeks. I’ll do it for month end deadlines, but not for weeks on end… I’m just not going to do it! Why would I as I lose my time, no payout of it, and the denied my additional pay increase which really just gets me within 5-8K at the low end of this market for the job I do. I updated my LinkedIn profile and changed my status to open for work 🤨. I don’t want to make a job change as I wanted a permanent position to retire from☹️. However, I’m not afraid to make a job change. I’ve had some sucky experiences and know the grass isn’t always greener somewhere else. I also know I am never stuck either! It is scarier now that I’m single though.
