Am I ever going to learn
I should know by now that the best thing to do in the corporate community is to keep your mouth shut and head down. But no, I insist on having to make suggestions and sticking up for my fellow employee. For example the other day I was called into "chat" with my boss about my position in the laboratory. I told her a few of my thoughts on how to make things run more smoothly. Time passes next thing I know they are not going to renew my contract - and that they are posting for a more advanced position - "that if [I am] interested in, feel free to drop off my resume." That would be fun being interviewed by my current boss about a position that I was already doing. I might be inclined to drop off an application if it wasn't for the fact a buddy of mine was already getting the second position without applying. This way it works well for them - they can get rid of me without having to lay me off or cause an upset. I love the corporate community - no one is happy but if you try to suggest a positive change it is game over for you. Uh oh, here's someone who is strong and opinionated, doesn't matter that she gets more work done than most people, we need to get rid of her. I know I should have learned by now - my last role in a corporate setting should have taught me - but I refuse to let these people who sit in their office make decision that don't help anyone. Instead of bitching to my co-workers and needing stress leave I try to explain why people are upset to those in charge of the decisions. Instead of them listening and thanking me (or anyone in my position) they seem to be afraid. Well it's a good thing I've been looking for a new job.
