I am not talking about busy, although it is quite busy, I have worked in extremely busy places so I know what busy looks like.
No, I am talking about quite literally, batshit crackers. I cannot emphasise it enough . Every.Single.Fucking.Manager. tells you something different about pretty much everything. Some days I feel as if I've gone through the Looking Glass and I'll meet a White Rabbit or a
blue caterpillar smoking a hookah.
Here's a few things to go on:-
- Being told TO DO things differently from one minute to the next ( not even one day to the next).
- Told that X is a fact or what is going to happen. Next day told or discover that it's Y. The following day back to X and so on and so on.
- Training days planned prior to an important piece of work only to then be cancelled at the 11th hour. Replacement 'training' is reduced by about 90% and is a total shambles.
- Endless shit emails (I'm sure we've all been there).
- Annual staff survey (which we are asked to fill in about ten times). Told every fucking year we will be given feedback on said survey and proposed outcomes for change. Never happens.
- Useless IT department, takes ten days to do an urgent job, they cannot prioritise their way out of a paper bag.
- Line manager who calls endless meetings about bugger all, repeats a complete load of waffle and wants to know the ins and outs of everyones social life. End result is we know very little about our work agenda which leads to more confusion.
8) Extremely rude and useless staff who get away with being rude and useless.
9) Adding insult to injury the regular emails which then tell us to look after our mental health and tips on how to do it .. FFS
If I wasn't so near retirement I would be telling them where to stick it.
Meanwhile I will just continue to scrape my brain up from the melted puddle it has become....
I am only using humour here as being angry is utterly exhausting.
