I am so frustrated with work right now. I want to quit so bad. Dh says I can BUT we won't be able to do all of the tHings we do now of course. You know I used to love my job. I enjoyed coming to work everyday and now I dread it. We have had so many changes in upper management that all of the good people are gone. I am the Office Manager here and I again have a new boss. This one and I but heads sometimes. He is only 3 years older than me and he someitmes talks to me like I am an idiot! i am just sick of it.

I told DH that I am going to start looking for another job. I have been here for 6 1/2 years and it scares to me to leave but I am also still young enough to change jobs. I have plenty of office expierence so hopefully I would not have a hard time. I know I would not make the $$ I do now but right now that is not even the issue. Speaking of that is another thing that really pissed me off. While I was out on maternity leave is when the boss started. I have been told since I have been back to work that he thinks I make too much money.:angel1: I currently make $46K a year. that is partly because I used to be the Admin Assistant to 2 VP's and my bosses were great. They got me as much as they could. Well the new guy even called me into his office a few weeks agao to ask me why I make so much!:wtf: Who the hell does he think he is. It is clearly written in found of him why i was given the increases I have been given. So based on that conversation i don't think I will even be getting a raise this year.

Thanks for listening to me vent.

I can't believe he asked you that :jawdrop: I'd definitely start looking around.

if my boss was telling me i made too much $ (like that would happen :rolleyes: ) that would definately throw up a red flag for me. you could be the next target regarding 'cutbacks' (or at least under the guise of cutbacks).

i agree, start looking around.

I certainly thought it was odd that he would ask me why I got raises. I mean come on, I was given them because I deserved them!!!

I agree with everyone else - that's a huge redflag that he asked that. Definitely look for a new job.

Yup I'd be looking for a new one too. And you definitely have my sympathies - I hate my job too and know how awful it is to dread going to work every day.

Well I just found out that I am NOT getting a raise. Since I do payroll I can check to see when raises are put through. All of my girls raises have gone through and I did not get one!!! My boss will tell me this week and I will then give him a peice of my mind!
