AW: My job saga is funny

RachieK10

Sooo I am extra pissed at current job because they just gave everyone raises, but mine was crap. I'm talking so little it was almost rude to give it to me. I really am one of the hardest workers here, and my closer co-workers who I shared my raise with were appalled. Needless to say, I'm EXTRA motivated to be done here.

In my boredom and effort to distract myself from waiting to hear from the firm that I LOVE LOVE LOVE next week, I sent my resume to a random craig's list ad. They wrote back w/in 5 minutes asking me to come in for an interview.

This is a place that I would possibly be interested in working and I'm going to do the interview with a "see what happens" attitude, but I can't help but crack up that I've been at this for over six months and within two weeks I have a very promising opportunity and another interview.

That is great news!! Sometimes things just 'happen' like that :-) I am a firm believer that when something is meant to be, it will be - in it's own time! Woo hoo!!!

That is really incredible!

I can only imagine what its like at your current job, I know the feeling of "once you are done, you're done" so I am sure the raise thing was just the icing on the cake.

You will be somewhere awesome in no time, I can feel it!

This for me too! I have made several job moves since the first out of college, and I have been grateful for the experience at each place (always learn something either technical or skills working with people) but glad to move on. I feel your pain about being "done" and at least you have that motivation fire lit and being fueled. Keep up the good work and good things will come!

Oh man, that really SUXXX about the raise.  I think it's a sign that you are about to embark on something better.  Keep your positive attitude, it will all pay off for you

It sounds very promising for the 2 jobs!  Hopefully one will work out perfectly!

What breannie said - it's so lame when your hard work just doesn't seem to shine above others who just make it appear as if they're working hard...

That is so frustrating! I love what I do and the people I work for, however, what I make is a joke. Now that I am (hopefully) going to be the person running my office (on my own I might add), I better get a fantastic raise! I think they know if I don't get one, the second I have a baby I am walking.
