I see DHs CIP in the mail today!
@wendow yup we are still with inlaws. It really has worked out better than I could have thought, but I'm starting to hit stir crazy point where I don't want to do the smart thing anymore
It's just feeling cramped now and we're ready for our own space. But then we don't know that we want to stay here long term either. Ugh decisions...
@GlamMistress That sounds awful.
Right now we have really low obligations since we live with my inlaws, as wendow said. 80% of our current income for the year has gone to retirement savings, house fund, emergency fund, and paying down the vehicles (just DHs now, mine is done). We also used the opportunity to pay off our student loans too, all to put us in a better position. It's frustrating because this shouldn't be a bad job, it's not too hard or stressful outside of all the hours
it has great benefits, lots of PTO, really cheap health insurance, great maternity leave, nice 401k match, free pet food/treats sometimes. It's just all the weekends (and the stupid scheduling when someone is on vacation like this - a lot of that is the fault of my supervisor, who leaves at the end of the month anyways).
I'm going to keep looking for other options after the trip. We also just got a new department manager, I worked with her as our assistant manager until she went to work for corporate for the last 1.5 years. I think she will be a huge improvement over the dept managers we have had while I was here. And my supervisor that is leaving was a terrible manager, honestly, she had no experience and just got handed the job and didn't get anything done in the last 1.5 years but make things worse (but she thinks she is great and is trying to set stuff up how she wants it before she goes). She was good as just a senior position in the department, but not leadership material. My new manager has scheduled one on ones with everyone, and I feel like just being honest with her that I am looking at other places, because I feel like I'm being punished for being a good employee. Because that's how I feel now. It's not the job duties itself, it's being worked up to the limit when no one else is, because I show up/am on time/do my work.... being held back by the supervisor that is leaving because she wasn't interested in letting any of us move up or learn more (like me, being the senior employee in my group...) she was interested in what was easiest for her. And that was keeping me in my current position to take care of everything here like I'm a supervisor... hi I'm not the supervisor, so I just do my work and it's your problem if people aren't doing their jobs, I'm not policing them for you
And we had two supervisor jobs in our dept, basically she talked the last dept manager into giving her one and then they interviewed for the other. This is going to sound bitter, but I truly believe that my supervisor played a big part in me not getting the other role... because if I walked out of my job back then to something else (or even if I did today) a whole bunch of things would be lost or not done or messed up because others aren't trained/experienced... but I do feel like I can be honest about these feelings with the new manager... while I keep job hunting...
