people suck
Yes, with a title like that you can be assured this entry will be full of self righteous passive aggressive ranting. Sorry to unload but if I can't do it on my "blog" where else is a good outlet? I'm certainly not going to inflict this tirade on anyone in "real life" because nobody can really help me.
To recap, I've been at my still new-ish "dream" job since February. For the record that is 8 weeks. In that 8 weeks I have received approximately one full day of training total. I've never shared my job title outright for purposes of confidentiality but I am a licensed professional so it isn't like I require oodles of training but I think more than a DAY total in 8 weeks for a job demanding the type of skill and discretion I need to exercise on a daily basis would not be unreasonable. I'm young, just starting out, and I appreciate guidance and wisdom from those generous enough to share it with me. Unfortunately it has been trial by fire and I'm forced to learn the hard way from every mistake I make.
Since I've started, 3 colleagues were promoted and moved to other divisions. Another was fired/quit. One supervisor is leaving soon. My original administrative assistant was also switched back to her previous position and I've had a new one roughly one week. In short, TONS of upheaval and high turnover. I'm now the "senior" person for my job function though a couple of the replacement people have more general experience than me. It is like the blind leading the blind. Needless to say, morale is very low.
If all that isn't bad enough, the "overlord" of the operation has been incredibly abusive towards everybody lately. It is finally to the point where I feel incredibly uncomfortable because I hate needless conflict. Part of me wants to voice my concerns about the behavior because I'm not used to witnessing (or enduring) such unfair treatment. On the other hand, I'm worried a confrontation would fan the flames of something that might cool off on its own given a little time. I don't think it is very ethical to relate to people with sarcasm, rudeness, etc. even if you are in a position of authority. Hello, basic human decency. I've been biting my tongue but it is getting harder and harder to stand silent.
I don't consider myself a spineless creature, I always try to do the right thing. But I'm not perfect, I'm only human, and my judgment has proven incorrect in the past (even when I felt really strongly about something, thought it through, etc.) I don't think it is worth it to let stressing over this affect my mental and physical health. I prefer to choose my battles wisely and I doubt it is smart to take on such a challenge. But I know what I can tolerate and it is becoming unbearable. ~sigh~
