Work gets worse

Conflict resolution?

So it has been almost three weeks since our conflict resolution meeting at For.Profit. Has anything changed? Well…

We have moved our offices into a new building where we all have our own offices. Finally! An office of my own with a door I too can slam! calmly shut out the other people screaming office noises.

Our bosses new office is as far removed from the rest of the inmates in this nuthouse office as she can possibly get. Not that I blame her. I, however, am smack dab between my best friend (the case manager) and the wicked witch. Which is actually giving a very bad name to wicked witches.

It is amazing how phony TWW (the wicked witch) actually is. When the boss is in the office (RARE) she is all sweetness and light. The second the boss walks out the door, TWW no longer speaks to either TCM (the case manager) or I unless it is to make a rude or scathing comment.

TCM and I have taken to keeping our doors shut when we are in the office. Of course then THE BIG BOSS decided that she was having a BAD ATTITUDE and told her to straighten up or she was going to get fired. TCM is at the point where she no longer cares. If she gets fired, she gets fired.

Getting fired means unemployment benefits. Quitting doesn’t.

Me, on the other hand, I am working on getting out of there. I have recently been certified to do work that will allow me the freedom to start my own practice, bill like I am now and actually see more than 20% of what I bill. I know, what a freakin’ concept!

It is going to take a few months to half a year, but man, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

God. I hope it’s not a train!
