Pure Frustration

Greeting loyal readers. Today’s blogcast is a return to normalcy. I’m going to lay something down right now, and it’s nothing but pure ranting. Today at work was a truly bad day. Now let’s face it… My job is cake. Nothing has ever been easier than this job. To be honest… a trained monkey could do my job. However, I feel that I make a strong effort to step out above and beyond the bare bones responsibilities of the job and try and be a valuable employee. I’ve made an effort to learn the job, beyond just the requirements. I have been told by numerous of the Team Leads that I am an asset to the company. However despite these facts… I’ve grown frustrated, and I’m going to explain why.



When I got hired at AMP, I made sure that the employer’s knew that my background, and indeed my strength and comfort zone was customer service. I was informed that if a customer service position opened up (customer service is a promotion from data entry) I would be getting an interview. Guaranteed. Today I learned that 5 data entry agents have recently been moved to Customer Service. Receiving a promotion and significantly more human hours. (Monday through Friday 9-5). Now… If I had been interviewed and they’d been hired over me, I can handle that. But the fact of the matter is, despite those promises… I DIDN’T GET A FRELLING INTERVIEW!



Now, I would be able to overlook this normally, however this is the third time this has happened since I started working at this company. I was APPROACHED about two other jobs in the company, and was told they’d contact me for interviews, and contact was never made. For either job.



This particular turn of events has left me feeling very defeated and unhappy. This job was originally a “seasonal” position, with some of the staff being retained for the off season. I felt confident due to my performance of being retained. However when I can’t even get interviewed for a friggin’ lateral move… I don’t see how that’s going to happen. I guess I had better start hunting much harder for jobs. I may be leaving my current one much earlier than I’d expected to.



That’s all for now, ranting isn’t decreasing my frustration, so I’m going to cut it short. As always loyal readers, this has been another blogcast of The Rogue Signal. Until next time… goodnight, and good luck.
