I have been in trouble for a year. In the last 2 months things went from bad to worse. I found out this morning that I was observed on Monday. I left 1 sentence out of my talk with the customer. Since this was not my first infraction, even though it is different from my other infraction, I will be escorted from the building the next time I report to work. After I found this out I had a panic attack and left. I will be staying out on disability for stress for as long as possible to continue collecting a paycheck. I will then go to the unemployment dept and start taking computer/data entry type classes. I have been giving this a lot of thought since I knew it was going to happen. *sigh* It still sucks though. At the same time I am relieved to be out of there. Things are getting really nasty, and walking into a job, knowing that every day could be my last was wearing me out.

What ? You left a whole
sentence out of your spiel? I'm surprised you weren't flogged! Really, employees these days...
MG- I can't believe you made it this far. I'd of gone postal on their asses long ago.
NO JOB is worth that kind of stress- none! Eric used to work for a similar type of corporate culture, and the only reason he stayed was for the benefits. Now he is working for the kind of company you never hear of anymore- they take the best care of their employees, and I couldn't be more impressed. One of his co-workers was killed in a car wreck this weekend, and the company had a grief counselor on site the next day, and is flying in a team to take everyone's place at work while they take the day off for the poor guy's funeral. This kid had only worked at the company one year, and yet the company is so concerned about his co-workers and family that they are going to great lengths to help out. (And, no, he didn't die on company time). There are good jobs and good companies out there- you just have to find the right one. Hang in there!
