Today we have our unit meeting, which I was the only person who actually knew about as my supervisor declined to tell anyone last week. Haha. But at least one of my coworkers convinced them to have the meeting off-site. So instead of being crammed in an uncomfortable and too small room we can at least sit around a table at TGI Fridays and hide behind our food. If only I could order cocktails during this time.
My fellow peer trainers and I have compiled ideas and notes for things to discuss during this meeting. Our primary issue being the one of compensation. If we're going to be expected to do half of the trainer's job, then we should be paid a little bit more than as the "ordinary" intake workers we're classified. We have supervisor level responsibilities for some things, and many more responsibilities than if we just took intakes as we have in the past. I don't think it is beyond reason to ask for a small raise.
We also need a basic structure. My boss works by only focusing one day at a time, and this does not work at all with others involved. No one ever knows what is going on and communication is haphazard at best. We've come up with ways we can keep a handle on things even in the absence of supervisors.
(I also spent my morning coming up with yet more fun and exciting training documents. Well, fun and exciting only in the sense that they are useful and we don't have anything like them currently, and I like to write things.)
Over the weekend I obtained a copy of the cookbook Sherrie loaned me, so I can finally give hers back. I'm going to embark on sponge cake experiments soon I hope. I'm thinking of taking most of the week off to clean the apartment, as we've been very lax about it lately. The roomba needs a new filter but Frys doesn't carry them for some absurd reason.
