limbo
I’m not sure if I’m still at the teetering edge of insanity, or snapping out of it. It’s still hard to tell.
Today is my one month anniversary on the new job.
The very week I started the new job, they had a server outage - ALL of their customers were DOWN for 36 hours.
The very week of my one month anniversary, they had a server outage (Wednesday). ALL of their customers were DOWN for nearly six hours with no explanation. The website just kept saying it was due to “unscheduled maintenance”. When I called the network status hotline after I got home from work, I found it hadn’t been updated since 4pm PST. They have us tell the customers that it’s updated every few minutes. I wasn’t able to log into my account until after 8pm.
My first week on the job entailed working 12 straight days for up to nine hours a day after the last outage.
This had better not be the case for the rest of this week. I am NOT looking forward to dealing with the shitstorm that is the result of this latest outage.
I work on average 1 hour to 1.5 hours overtime DAILY because they won’t let people leave without clearing out their inboxes of all support mail replies.
My daily commute averages an hour and ten minutes to work and an hour and a half home from work.
You all wondered how long this would take….. I’m looking for a new job.
If I get another job before the end of this year, I will have had FIVE jobs in one year alone.
Is there something wrong with me? Or am I just attracting the shithole jobs?
Some of my friends have already assured me that it’s not me. They’ve shared some of their horror stories. It’s so sad that so many people… I mean, it’s not me, it’s not just some of my friends. If it’s us, it’s hundreds or thousands or millions of people who go through this… it’s sad that we’re all so willing to line up for the abuse time and time again. This is the greed. This is trying to get by in the United States. This is what Capitalism does to you. No system is right, mind you. They’re all fucked. I’m anti everything.
I feel myself slipping again.
Just in time for the morning commute.
