I'm serious Darryl (heheh), before considering leaving an employer, I believe as an employee, you have the responsibility to the company to use the avenues they provide to you to clear up any mishaps; they are typically of human-error in nature, but sometimes systematic. For instance, if you are "supposed" to funnel your questions, complaints, and suggestions to your immediate supervisor, do so. If, however, nothing is done at that level, go up a rung. Hopefully the company will have an open-door policy where you can just go chat about a supposed event at a hypothetical company and see what can be done about it, were such an unseemly event (*shock*) to occur in the company you work for. Heavens above!

For instance, when I got my semi-annual review at a company I used to work for, I felt I was seriously cheated of my hard earned 5/5 rating. My last review had earned me a 4/5 as a low level employee, a beginner, but after taking on 4 management level positions simutaneously, while performing beyond peer and management expectations, I knew I'd earned a 5/5, since 20 other employees at my rank who weren't doing management duties, worked less than I did, had less responsibility, but had seniority, earned a 5/5. I go to see if my immediate supervisor is willing to back my claim, go to bat for me, and get things straightened out. Swing batta. Then I went to my supervisor's boss. Swing batta. Then I went to the top of the division and... was stonewalled before I could get anywhere else by middle management. I brought in HR after 3 months unacceptable delay. This... took a great amount of patience and as management liked to say: "faith" in the system. I didn't get anywhere in the end but, the HR director I met with, who earned an MBA, suggested in a manner of speaking, the following: [paraphrased] "If you use what tools are laid before to reach your objective, and fail, try again. Then, go under, around, flank the goal, go over obsticles, make up new tools, bend the rules, but if in the end you cannot reach your goal... you must consider reaching the same goal, elsewhere." In a nice, professional, abstract, rational analysis of the situation, I was encouraged to take myself elsewhere; not because I wasn't worthy to be where I was, but because I deserved to be in a better place -- having exhausted my resources. After informing my superiors of my official intent to leave, some asked me to stay and have faith in the system. I am an atheist and do not believe in denying facts that are laid out before me. I know systems are not perfect, but they can be used effectively when the right people control the flow. But the best laid plans go out the window if you do not have the right people in place. Companies do not make millions of dollars, the people at the companies make the millions of dollars come to the company. People over plans.

So see what you can do, remember your role as a low level employee but also remember what it is you deserve, see if it is the system making the problems, like a malfunctioning communication system, if it is the people getting in the way, or if God has some grudge. But you owe it to yourself to give things your best.

If that doesn't work...kill the buggers >:)

But in a manner which doesn't leave a) witnesses, and b) you with charges. Which ties into a). Now there's a challenge >:)

haha hah hahahaha ha.

I don't believe there is even an HR department. the extent of it would be one person, maybe two.

Regardless of that fact, it doesn't matter who you tell what it all ends up in the same bit of steaming shit.

Personally, if I were in charge, I'd be firing a lot of people. But that won't happen either.

stick it to the man, man.

Wipe them out...all of them!!!!

Work definitly sucks. Just quit your job and get a new one, you don't have to take that crap.
