I think I wrote about this before. I started my new job three months ago. Lovely on paper. Turned up and it was... not that.
What followed was frankly something out of some 80s sitcom. Decisions made by people who'd never met me, who had no clue about what the UK region needs, based on a model that nobody actually likes, including the people running it.
At various points in the last three months:
*I nearly quit
*Had to take seeing pills
*Cried before my shower
*ended up with no manager for more than a month , making executive decisions for the region because everyone assumed someone else had sorted it. But nobody had and HR completely washed their hands.
But then today…. The boss of all of them realised of the comedy of errors that had been happening for the last 3 months, and my life got sorted in 10mins!
It’s still unclear if this will benefit me in the long run, but at least I now have someone to approve my annual leave!
And hopefully will also give me a carte Blanche around my performance bonus.
