Do you work in one of the office's where most of the time you cannot tell if your at work or if you time warped back to high school? I always feel like that at my work and it's getting worse.
In March, our Department was given a reprieve from the County and we were not made to start layoffs. Big whoop! We all new that come the 2009-10 fiscal year the layoffs would be worse. Come May 15th we will know for certain how many we will be laying off. How it looks now, I am 6 below the cutoff line and will be laid off. Fortunately, I hold status in the rank below me and will be able to demote myself. Demoting myself means a cut in pay and having to go back and work with the little pukes in the institutions. Not looking forward to that.
So of course people are showing their true colors and going after each other's jugulars. We are already starting to send people back to the institution, but due to my "condition" I cannot go back. I get to stay in my same job until I leave. Other's are starting the bickering of "why isn't that person going back", "why does that person get a good schedule", blahblahblah. The other thing that is happening is people that you that you were friends with...or at least friendly with...are starting to throw you under the bus. Heaven forbid they look like the bad person, equally take the blame, or just stay out of other co-workers business. Go ahead people...I can take it. Just remember fellow co-workers, you piss me off too much and it's on like donkey kong!!!
Oh...the next few weeks are going to be a nightmare. If it gets too bad my Dr has given me the ok to go on disability early.
