Hello 2018 with a sigh
8 years ago
General
I know it's quite belated, but I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
I hope you all had really nice holidays with friends and family and enjoyed a respit. For those who didn't have holidays, I hope you manage to find some free time to relax and rest too.
I just wanted to say a few words about my life atm. The year 2018 was not even 4 days long when bullshit was thrown in my face...
I am sorry I have been quiet on Skype for the past weeks, especially this one, but I got into quite some "disagreements" with my boss at work. :( I have been told my work is not good enough and that I don't work hard enough by a 20-minute speech from my boss, and it's been devastating for me. I have put so much effort into our lab, I gave up so much free time, working many extra hours and did many extra favors and helped everyone who works there.
My job is primarily a scientist and my secondary roles are IT support and scientific/administrative manager. I have done an outstanding job for the past 5 years and have poured a lot of energy into improving the lab, and to be told right after New Year I am not working hard enough...it really hit me hard.
I will probably remain quite demotivated for some time now, until all of this blows away. I really hope the rest of you had a better beginning of 2018.
Take care!

Und sowas kommt mir zwar ned bekannt vor, aber ich weiß wies sich anfühlt, wenn man haufenweise Energie in etwas steckt und es am Ende ned gewürdigt wird, sogar noch runtergemacht wird, was man falsch gemacht hat. Fühl dich mal dolle gedrückt *otterknuffs*
Ich drück dir mal die Daumen, dass sich das wieder legt, denn man sollte nicht in einem Job verweilen, bei dem man fertig gemacht wird, da würde ich dann eher was passenderes suchen.
I really do like my job and the co-workers, they're really good people. I only have a problem with the boss and that is affecting my work when I feel like shit coming in the morning. x_x
Und klaro isses immer schwer, nen neuen Job zu finden, das sollte einen aber nicht davon abbringen lassen, wirklich den Job zu wechseln, wenns auf dem derzeitigen mal so gar nicht mehr klar geht. Du musst dir dabei auch immer vor Augen halten, dass deine Arbeit and sich und deine Kollegen nicht die Brötchen in deinen Kühlschrank bringen, sondern nur du selbst und wenn man da schon morgens mit nem dicken Hals zur Arbeit geht, das über Wochen/Monate lang, dann stimmt definitiv was nicht und dann sollte man auch versuchen was zu ändern.
Such vlt. mal das direkte Gespräch mit deinem Chef und mach ihm klar, was es bedeutet, was er dir da an den Kopf geschmissen hast und wie du das ganze siehst, einfach mal die Karten auf den Tisch legen, wenns wirklich zu bunt wird, dann sollte ein guter Chef das auch sehen und einlenken.
We'll eventually fix that around a Raclette with Champagne ! ;) Cheers !
But thank you, it's always nice having you around. :D I am very grateful for such wonderful supporting friends.
And now whole week we were kinda avoiding each other...and I am still waiting for an answer from him and I don't seem to be getting one. :(
Keep your chin up, don't let this shake you. And if your boss remains unyielding, find another boss who will appreciate what you do.
Me and Thaz just moved in together last April and I love our flat here. He is still unemployed so we really depend a lot on my salary. So in the end, I can't just quit my job like that, unless I had something else lined up already, which I don't.
I love my job and I really like the co-workers, they're all such good people. I love the flat me and Thaz moved in here in town and if I quit, that will all have to change completely. I would sacrificing even more things if I went and quit my job now. *sigh* You see my dilemma?
And I totally understand. Having responsibilities will always make a big difference to what you can and can't do in making changes to your circumstances. Just thought I'd say it as some general advice.
Btw what about you man? How are things going for you?
I've been trying to take it one day at a time, but its only building up more with each passing day. I will need to have another conversation with the boss next week.
