Aisling’s Preggo Blog

I guess the other part of my life I will probably write a lot about is work. I am a trainer for a call center that services one of the Big 3 car companies in the US. Recently a new company bought the call center and is currently in the process of outsourcing it to India.

To be honest, I am not that upset it is going to India. In fact it is kind of an out for me so to say. Hubby will be done school soon and I really want to be a house wife. I know, I know, many women reading this have just dropped their jaw but it is true. I just can’t deal with the drama of this place. I mean seriously, every day I wake up debating with myself on whether I should call in sick or not. Then I think maybe I’ll go there today and that’s it - my job is done. I don’t like standing on pins and needles, ya know? Especially for a crap-hole like this place. I wish I could describe it to you. I would assume most offices are the same but come on - do they have to be so mellow dramatic?

Everyone here is out for themselves. Personally, I can understand that when you feel like you can lose your job at any second, but does that make it any easier? This company has created this kind of atmosphere and wonder why productivity is down, why so many people are quitting, why so many just don’t show up anymore. But why throw someone else under a bus just so you can get ahead? Funny thing is you can’t get a head here. No room for promotion or raises or recognition. It’s ‘working-for-nothing’ from here on out!

I am getting outta here as soon as I can. I could leave as early as April, but I’ll have 8 weeks unpaid which is tough for our situation. Latest I am leaving is June. 8 weeks before the due date. I can’t tell you the amount of stress and pressure this place puts on you, even if they don;t give you a single direction. Just being here is draining enough.

Ugh.
