A little more than a month ago I accepted a new position with my company. I will be honest here there were only two reasons why I accepted the new job. The first was money there was a slight raise in pay. Thirty eight cents an hour to be exact. The second reason, this was to be an opportunity for further advancement in to management with my company. Two weeks in to the job things started to go down hill and I was really struggling to learn my new duties. It all came to a head the day I moved my stuff in to one of the empty desk. Keep in mind I had some personal stuff I did not want to sit around in a open box. First and foremost was my blood sugar test kit. Second I had some work papers from my old position I was not ready to send to the shredder. My company has some hard and fast rules concerning work papers which means unless they are being used they are supposed to be put away. So I moved my stuff in to this unoccupied desk, I'm sitting at my new desk and towards the end of the day this other new employee starts to climb all over my ass for moving in to "his desk". Keep in mind when I unpacked my stuff his name tag was not put up, there were no personal or professional items hanging on the cubicle wall and both drawers were empty. He said he was going to talk to the department supervisor when she got back from vacation about what an inconsiderate ass hole I was for moving my stuff in to his desk and get this straitened out. Keep in mind I was already struggling at the job and each day was an extreme challenge to get through. I thought about it for a couple of days and talked it over with my wife. We came to the conclusion the extra stress was not worth it. When my supervisor got back from vacation I sent her and email stating that I would like to go back to my old position. I had a meeting with my supervisor and it was pretty basic I just had to give her the reason for my wanting out. I put the best face on it but in the end I had to be honest. This new position just is not the job for me and I really did enjoy my old job.
That has been a month ago, they are holding a my old position open for me, but my boss is holding off on my transfer. Now it is getting more and more difficult for me to get ready and go to work every day. As for as I'm concerned she cannot move my ass out of that department fast enough. Hopefully today she will have news for me today as to when I move back to my old department.
