December 8, 2008 I have been doing Daily Record work ALL FREAKING DAY. Processing Christmas parade photos that they sell online. Had an appointment with my psychologist today. I don't know if it helps, I think it does but man, I still feel like my brain has been dumped into a puree machine and it's sloshing around inside my head. I'm mad right now. I am mad that a company that I worked for, for NINE YEARS, (that to me, is REAL commitment), and have it go from something that was absolutely amazing and fun to do, (I looked FORWARD to going to work), and now. How it's finally ended up. After several bad investments in consultants, after getting in over their heads trying to get a press up and running to compete with marketplaces like Raleigh and Fayetteville. All the people who have been there 10, 15, 30 years get a big kiss off. That business doesn't give a rat's ass about anything but their bottom line. I understand that in these economically crappy times that companies to have to stay lean and keep strong in order to weather the fiscal downslide but my God. Who lays off employees just a few weeks before CHRISTMAS?!? Not just once, this has happened BEFORE. And gee, the General Manager with her head up the owner's butt, doesn't understand WHY everyone has such bad morale. Some of the people getting laid off, they don't even know it yet, are really good friends. Money. Money. Money. That is not the company I started working for back in 1999 but it surely has done a complete 180 on how it is to work at that hell hole now. I wish I could just get rid of every tie to that place, it's so toxic, but I must stay in my good little "outsourced" position and do what I must to get a minimal check every two weeks. Yah. Rah. Cheerlead. Fuck. Seriously. My PERSON works there still and she's safe but she has to lose one of her people to the lay off and she is so seriously stressed out to the max that I believe she's going to just have a nervous breakdown before long. Hell, just a few years ago after a relatively big lay off (2-4 people), we thought we were working a skeleton crew. No, not yet. People were offered "double" positions. They had to do it or they had to resign/quit. No choice. Some people opted to leave. Their positions were never filled. NOW, we're talking skeleton crew. One person out screws the whole works which means you better not get sick and your kids better not get sick. Ever. It just doesn't help with digging out that ol hoe 'Holiday Spirit, ya know?
