Work

Well, first I want to say this. I am more than thankful that I have a job, especially right now in these tough economical times. But at the same time, I don't really care for my job and would love to find something better (if the grass really is greener on the other side lol). I am a manager, working a lot of hrs. each week and not getting paid near enough for what I do.

Now, I love the actual job I do. It is very interesting and never doing to same thing everyday, there is always something that is different each day. I am really good with numbers and that helps out, because I handle a lot of invoices daily and inventory on a daily basis. If the pay was better, then I probably wouldn't feel the way I do about it. But, knowing that this positition is supposed to pay better has one thing to do with it. Another thing, I have a guy that basically works for me, and he has been with the company for a very long time and is a really good employee. I could not do the things I do without him. He makes more than me, and no matter how long he has been there, I believe that someone in a supervisor position over an employee should make a little more atleast than the people they supervise. It just seems like the whole respect/who's in charge factor would not always be there, I mean honestly; who would really respect and take priority to a supervisors orders when they know they make more than the supervisor?

I am not going to say how much I make, but I was hourly before getting this position a few months ago, and when I got this postition I was put in a bad spot. First, I didn't really have a choice to take it, was told either I had to take the position or I was going to be let go. I took the job, it is a really great opportunity for the future. Then, was told I probably would not be getting a raise. The manager there got me one, but not much of anything really, as in hardly a difference from my pay as hourly. Also, I go from working 40 hours a week to working around 50-55 hours a week.

With the hours I work, I am always tired. I put in long days and then have to work some Saturdays. When I am off work, I usually just stay home all the time, cuz I don't feel like doing anything.

It is getting to the point that the job just isn't worth it anymore, and I hate that it is getting to the point. I am trying to holdon and wait out the times right now hoping that there is a bright side to it, but it is getting to the point that I can't hold on. I have updated my resume and posted on a few sites. Who knows, I might get some kind of good job offer on there, or something better might come up at work. But now, I have to gotten to the point that I am starting to look for better things. Well that is it for now, I will update this subject as things come out on it.
