At least six more months
Jun. 29th, 2007 02:22 pmOne of the training supervisors asked to see me this afternoon. She explained that she hoped I would continue to peer train for them, and that the office has gotten last minute approval to hire seven additional peer trainers. that I didn't even get an interview for the current position because so many people with so much more seniority applied. They will be able to hire two people a quarter, starting in September.
I figured that I wasn't going to get the job. I'm a little stung that I didn't get an interview, though I understand the whys and whatnot.
This is hard. I am the only person that the scheduling matters so much to, because I am the only peer trainer who has to work outside of Monday-Friday hours. I am superbly good at my job, and I get these glowing evaluations that mean nothing because I've only been here two years, five months and eleven days. I'm in the process of applying for acting supervisor privileges. I can do everything here.
So I wait. I have my summer scheduled out, and I have several weekends off because I'll be working Mondays. I have to see if I can live in small increments as far as work goes, to see if maybe there's a chance to make this lateral move. Did I mention it is a totally lateral move? No promotion, no pay raise. While I understand, it is still sort of lame. In September, we will receive our great and generous gift from the Legislature, a 2% raise. Yes, that number is correct. No, you don't want to know how many years behind inflation our salaries are. My 2% raise, after taxes and deductions, will get me something like $30 more a month. Because that, my friends, is somehow going to convince people to stay in these jobs and make us feel valued. Oh yes indeed.
This entry probably sounds more angry than I really am. Mostly I'm sad.
