Year in Review
Okay I just did my 1st annual review at my job. It did not go so well. In a nutshell the bigwigs stated that they know I am capable of doing the job but I'm lazy and that I seem like I am not fully motivated.
To some degree I do believe it is true. I kinda burned out about this profess but mainly I'm tired of the people at my job that I deal with. I work at a very very competitive news station. I know I am passionate creative person when it comes to my craft. But the people I work with treat this job like a job. The environment is way too structure for my taste along with my job duties are mostly routine. The job duties would not be so bad if I at least worked with some cool people who have lives outside of work. My coworker rarley ever have outing after work. No partying No barhopping nothing. All the other media outlets in the market particpate in Basketball and Softball tournament against one another except for us. Most people just come to work and go back home to their sorry lifes. Employyes who have worked there for 10+ years seem to be the worst ones, its like you can see how with the job how their life as simply been sucked out of them.
Well back to the review. well okay I granted I have not put my best foot forward @the job. So after my review I honestly did not feel would give a raise in pay. But they gave me one anyway. My boss told me they will give me a 2% increase instead of the regular budgeted 3%. I was like WTF is 2% an extra nickel or two, WTH is 1% really. I wanted to tell my boss Fuck it! if that all you are gonna give me the hell you can keep it. If I did not have an ole lady to worry about I probably would have quited right there on the spot. Instead I humble myself and figured I need this job for now and beside they did not have to give me any type of raise the could have fired me and where would I be after that termination. What I decide to do is use all of this the 2% raise, the crapp job environment and all as my motivation to get out and into a maybe a brand new profession.
