The agent that got me my last job and current job is PISSED.
She sent me her routine 60-day follow up - "how is your job going," etc. So I told her it sucks, and I told her why.

She called me and conferenced in one of her associates; she wanted to get the full skinny. She was angry that she'd had no foreknowledge of what an asshole my boss can be and at how bad the working conditions are. She said she doubts she can do anything but she's talking to the HR director today.

GO, DIAN! GO, CASEY!

rah rah ree! kick 'em in the knee!
rah rah rass! kick 'em in the other knee!

Oh, yeah -- she's also having lunch w/ the office administrator at the firm that laid me off in March. Hmm... I loved that job.

2. You're working again? Yay!
You're working again? Yay! I didn't know that. Sorry your current boss is such a... grouch; though it could be worse-- you could work in my dept. and have me for a boss! :)

(Nice to know you have an agent who's on your side...)

4. Been there for two months. The first day, when they showed me to
my desk, my heart sank. The workstations are tiny, not private, and the desktops and file cabinets are BLACK. Black!

Not that anything can be done about it, but if I'd seen this before I accepted the job, it honestly could've made me reconsider.

Anyway, LW, :hi: and thanks for popping into my thread. :)
