Work Turmoil yet again

· · 🌡️ 44°F

The news is just not good these days on the work front, it's not crazy bad either but some middle ground would be welcomed.

The not bad news is that since I don't work in Corporate America, I have no worries about losing my job.My job is totally secure and stable, just mind numbingly boring. I'm trying hard to think of things to learn to keep myself from going crazy.


The bad news which is only bad for me is that the potential step up to a new position is not going to happen for either a few years or ever. There is now an indefinite hiring freeze and the budget cuts are coming soon too. We just keep hearing its very bad but no one seems to know exactly how bad is bad and what the impact will be.

I'm not sure I'll still be with my current employer if I have to wait years to get another promotion or opportunity to advance. It is so disappointing to work for such a large organization but not have any opportunities to advance or move in to another area to expand job skills.

The rumor mill is busy buzzing like mad about a potential reorganization impacting all IT staff.

I have a job, it pays the bills and life is good otherwise so I don't feel justified in complaining but I did anyway.
