God I hate my place of work for several reasons. 1- I feel like I was tricked / lied to when I accepted the job. They told me there would be 8 hours days, working one weekend a month. That's fine. 8 hours is pure heaven after work 12. BUT when I start, they have changed the policy to 10 hour days, working every other weekend (I get every Monday and Tuesday off). 10 hours makes the day draaaaag. It is not pleasure to be there knowing I have to be there for 10.5-11 hours. It makes me want to scream. 8 hours is rewarding, 10 is torture. 2- I find it disturbing that they are suddenly changing their "dress code". In my phone interview, I asked if they had one, which was answered no. However, they have forbidden hats (directed at me due to my wearing my cat toboggan), and now they are forbidding jeans. Blue jeans were supposedly a no-no before. I don't own any, so that didn't effect me. However, I have a pair of black jeans that I wear almost everyday. I was told that black jeans were ok, and have not had anything said to me in 4 months. Today, they told me that ALL jeans are agaisnt dress code. I am livid. I am bettig that within the year they will have us wearing collared shirts and dress pants. I work in a ******** lab, where I spill acid all over my pants and wear a lab coat. Nice clothes should not be required.
As soon as my time is up (2 years), I am out of there unless things change. It is really the 10 hour days that are my problem. working 8-7 make me very unhappy. I will tell them so if I am ever asked. I feel like I can never get to the gym. I come home, eat dinner, watch a little tv/internet, then it's too late. I want to go at 7 or 8 or 9, but I need a few hours of down time before I go, which I don't get. I just ******** hate it, and it is really causing me to resent my job.
I can only hope thigs will improve in the future at work, but I doubt it.
