I believe I'd briefly mentioned my somewhat disheartening performance review the DAY before I left for Cabo. It wasn't that I got a negative review about my performance, but rather my boss chose to focus on the fact that I wasn't putting in my 'face time'. That's right. Just showing my face is supposed to be what will ensure a promotion and "good" performance? F*that.
I am done. My boss said that I am to be 'staying until 8pm' every night. And make the peanuts that I'm making AND pretend to be busy? Screw you. I need a life. I need to go to the gym. I need to do social things. I need to spend time with the pup. This is just NOT the place for me.
I like the industry, but I don't like the company I work for. I have to get out. So, I've begun the job hunt.
I have an interesting offer on the table from an ex boss. HOWEVER, I would have to purchase a car, as the office is about 30 minutes out from where I currently live. This adds a huge expense to the budget. So, I've calcuated that my monthly expenses will increase by:
- $250 {base for car payment, considering the purchase of a used car}
- $150 {rental of parking spot}
- $100 {car insurance}
- $150 {gas costs}
That means I would have to make another $650 per month. I don't know that this rather small shop can afford that. But - the position is for sales, so commission may help with that. AND, there may be the potential for a car/mileage allowance. The particulars still need to be worked out, but the more I think about it, the more excited I am for a new challenge, and a work environment that I enjoy being in.
I will keep you all posted as I know what's coming. I would like your opinions - do you think the potential pay cut worth the happiness? Lemme know in the comments; I value what you guys say.
Hugs,
