Job Evaluation

I haven't wrote anything about this until now because I wanted to calm down a bit. In fact I think I will go and get a cup of hot chocolate before I start!

Cup of Hot Chocolate in hand :-)

The results of the Job Evaluation were finally sent out to staff, I haven't received mine yet because I was working in Teesside on Friday and mine has gone to Durham. Even though they were sent out from Teesside, while I was there.

I asked someone to open mine and I was told what it said. I have been paid the minimum they had to pay me, which is around £700 extra a year, which is a complete joke. I can't blame the people who did the job matching because they can only go off the information they are given. I can blame HR for having a completely inaccurate Job description which I have highlighted in the past.

A few weeks ago I said I had 2 things I was waiting for before I made a decision on whether I stay or leave. This is the first and that's 1 point to leaving, if the merger is as fucked up then that will be the second and I am not sticking around. I went against everything I believe in by apologising for something I didn't do a few weeks ago. So I'm not hanging around to be treated like shit if the merger is done wrong as well. It will be a shame because there is plenty of potential for an interesting job to develop but from everything else that has happened in relation to HR the last couple of months, I have absolutely no faith what-so-ever.

On Friday I was thinking what is easier making an appeal or writing a resignation letter, obviously the second. But I will wait to see how much the merger is messed up before making my final decision!

I am sorting plenty of things in my personal life and feeling happier in general, I just wish work was the same. It is totally getting me down and everyone else I work with because of uncertainty. I am trying to be positive but everyone else complaining is having a negative impact on me :-(
