Hi all,
Lots happening at the moment ... work's been .. well .. not busy, but long hours ... and the kittens are still causing havoc! We've had to take to shutting them out of the bedroom at night in order to get some sleep! And also in order to prevent them chewing through my 3rd and final Nokia phone charger ... Grrr!
Have been actively applying for jobs as I'm totally sick of the double standards, revolting conditions and sh!thou$e pay rates at work .. I'm actually going to apply with another funeral company ... it's a shame .. I really enjoy the funeral industry .. but I am torn between not wanting to be treated like I don't matter in the slightest and my loyalty to the families that we serve.
I feel that my contribution to the company is not valued at all .. I mean, they treat us all like we're just replaceable and we have to just do whatever they choose for us and shut up. I realised a few weeks ago (and subsequently I began to apply for other jobs) that I do not feel any loyalty to this particular company at all. I've never had that before, regardless of the working conditions and anything else that may have been wrong with a place, I've never not felt any loyalty to the company ... When I realised this, I realised that my stint with this company is all but done. The only reason I'm still there is because I'm not going to leave this job before I get another one ... Which is very sad ...
So yeah ... that's about where we're up to at the moment ... I'll update on the job search later! ;)
Hope everyone's having a good time of it!
Cheers,
PB xx
