My future career path is slowly taking shape. I have chosen to do one night a week for twelve weeks initially and then progress onto the harder, more intense stuff once this has been completed. This however, does not solve the problem of being stuck in a job I'm not very keen on.
I don't want to bang on about how bad my job is because in many ways it's one of the better occupations Ive had - but in this instance I will.
My of biggest gripe is the management. For some reason they seem to think that you instantly know what they're talking about without ever explaining what it is they want. Often, the only way of finding out what they are on about is by trial and error. One facet of my role here is to look after all the IT equipment. I'm regularly kept out of discussions relating to the IT infrastructure and when attempting to get in on the conversation I'm met with " Well it doesn't really concern you". Of course it bloody well does, what do you think I'm being paid for?! It's seems that they see me as someone to blame when it all goes wrong or it doesn't do what they were expecting it to but at no point do they think it worth while to discuss their requirements or expectations beforehand.
Another thing that confuses me is the belief that staff meetings are irrelevant and useless. To my mind, if you're staff know what is going on in the wider picture then they can react better to any problems that may be confronted with.
Unfortunately my wage is rather good and I would be hard pushed to find a similar financial package elsewhere, especially in this economic climate. At least night school will be providing me with a little light at the end of the tunnel.
