Welcome to my Life

Before I go into the whole work thing (by the by if you are on my Facebook I would rather this not be mentioned on there) I would just like to mention that thanks to last nights running around I have pulled a groin injury and on top of that my stomach is hurting again…….Yippie!!!

Work: I get the feeling that we are not wanted in Bristol. I and Matt both work in the Bristol office, Les works out of Birmingham and everyone else works in Bracknell. Last year a job was introduced for Senior Controller. I replied right away and worked out of my own time at home on a presentation. This interview got delayed and delayed for months until finally they had the interviews this year. I admit I am not a yes man and I will say whatever is on my mind and if I feel like there is a better or easier way of doing something I will always say. I don’t think that is the type of person that they want. They want someone who will just say yes and go along with whatever is said. A big problem with English football managers is they are being controlled by the press and FA and not doing what they feel is better.
From the moment of this interview I always thought they would not want someone in charge (while the supervisors are out of the office) from outside Bracknell. I think they were surprised at our Christmas meeting when I stated that I did not feel part of a team and that we were not close as a team. Everyone else stated this as their strong point of the year.
I hardly hear anything from my manager and if I need something escalated I have to chase it up.
Anyway back to the job, I never got it and it went to a guy in Bracknell who has worked there for less then a year. To be fair the guy is a strong worker but I have been here 10 years and know most of the systems and work like the back of my hand. They told me I don’t seek out work well this is because I am so busy doing my own work that I don’t have any other time. Also at Christmas they gave an award out for the person who did the most work. It was only a bottle of wine but it’s the principle and I do not think that they way they calculated the work right as mine and Les’s job takes 4 times longer to do then the rest.

Anyway rant over just wanted to get that off my chest. I do not feel wanted in this company and I do want to progress but I do not feel I am given the chance and if I did want to progress I would have to move to Bracknell.
