man.. work is starting to get crummy.
one girl got fired for being on facebook all the time.. so they decided to turn everyones monitors so that they face the front. it makes it uncomfortable in all our desks, and feel like we are being punished for something we didnt do. sure we get on websites and goof around a bit.. but are still productive. me and my fellow recruiters job is to be both proactive and reactive. its sort of like fishing though. we put a lot of lines out, and wait for something to bite. its almost impossible to be seriously recruiting all day.
the person who got fired was not a recruiter.. just a straight customer service person.
but now all of us feel like kids that got sent to their rooms.. morale is just awful... i know of at least 3 people that are actively looking for new jobs bc they cant take it anymore. i have to say im considering it as well. the company just is run so seat of the pants that there is rarely to ever any consistency.. things are one way on one day and another the next.. or even that same day.
its taking micromanaging to a new level. i even suggested to the IT guy to just make a list of denied sites on the firewall.. deny the temptation.. but no.. the bosses here LOVE LOVE LOVE surveilance.. like in an unhealthy way... like get excited to spy on people. its creepy. and now the loyal, workers w/ experience here (some of us up to 2 years) feel completely unappreciated by the company.. and it wasn't just this.. but this is like the straw breaking the proverbial camels back.
what i really dont understand is, they KNOW how hard it is to get people in here to work for the rate they offer. they tried! for 4 months. we found 1 person we liked who quit 3 days in saying it was too much for too little pay. and btw.. kinda insulting to find the ad recruiting for the same position offering more $ than you get to start.. w/ no experience. mentioned that to my boss.. she said she would mention it to hers.
so knowing that.. why are they taking actions to risk them losing the few good employees that they have that are willing to do the job?
makes no sense.. until you understand the madness that is this company. the head and the arm do no communicate...
im just in a bad spot.. bc this is the closest job that i could have really.. and i dont want to risk losing it.. but at the same time.. instead of being happy to be at work.. im scheming how to not be here.. dreaming about it.. waking up in the middle of the night saying.. im not going to work..
i mean.. i still come..
but to quote the late great bb king...
the thrill is gone...
