Dr Loretta! Are you around. I need some help pronto!
I was a long time lurker on the nest MM board so I feel like I know most of you ladies! I rarely posted but enjoyed all of your advice and humor throughout the years. I have an issue I need help with. Work related. I will make this short. I work in a very hellish call center environment. I have been here for over 5 years. My manager is psychotic and makes my life unbearable every single day. He is unaware (even though he has been told twice) that he is a very ineffective manager and gives most of his associates daily anxiety attacks. I have made a decision that I need to leave this job. I will apply into nursing school this fall and if I get accepted, I am quitting in december. This company is very focused on "associate development" and we have to have monthly meetings to discuss our career path with the company and development. My meeting is today. I have zero desire to work here any longer than I have to, i despise my manager, i hate the company and at this point, I am just collecting a paycheck. So my question is, when I am asked to talk about my goals, development, career path with this company, what the hell do I say? I am a naturally outspoken but also very much introverted person so I am at my wits end trying to decide how to handle this. Please, can someone help me??
Re: Dr Loretta! Are you around. I need some help pronto!
I'm still awake so I thought I'd jump in here:
This does not sound like the kind of company that would be supportive at all if you talked about leaving at some point or the kind of place that would be open to changing its culture to make its employees more happy. I wouldn't say a word about being anything less than happy until I gave notice if I was you. I would just say the same thing you said in the last meeting or repeat what someone else is saying : )
If you really want to talk about it, maybe just say you want to go to school at some point in life, but fully plan to make it work around your current work schedule. Then when you do leave you can say that you couldn't get the schedule to work after all.
I don't know how or why you want to wait until December to leave if you are that unhappy. If you have any other options in your area you might want to start applying ASAP.
