Venting about work is pretty much all I do now. LOL 6 months ago my company sent me on a 10 month assignment 2 hours from home. Now this second company has purchased us, and there is a chance I will be here permanently. I hate it so much though. I'm expected to work 10 hours a day and be on call 24/7 (I'm salaried, so this sucks). The first 5 months I had a great boss, but now I have the worst boss I've ever met who texts each of him employees 5-10 times per weekend, including Thanksgiving at dinner time. I have zero work life balance, especially because I am barely home so I feel like I have no life.
I have 4 months left and I just want to go home permanently, but my husband is pushing for us to stay up here because it will be better for his career. He's not even working here right now, he's back at home, which is also really hard. Honestly it will be better for my career long term too, but I just cannot deal with this anymore. I'd like to go home for a year or two and then consider coming back up here, but I won't know what's happening until they tell us in January. I did tell them I would quit if they made me work for this manager, but I don't want to be put in that position where I'm looking for another job.
Only 4 more months! I just keep hoping this will all be over in 4 months.
I have a lot of sympathy for all of you who work in retail or with other people's dogs! Working directly with customers every day can be so stressful and I know I couldn't deal with other people's dogs day in and day out.
