Getting laid off is bad enough, but when no two people can agree on what you're supposed to do afterwards, it's too much to handle. I got a new position with my same company, near enough to continue working with FLL and robotics, and I only had to postpone my surgery for a year or so to be able to meet their need date. All is well and good, right? Apparently not...
First there's a two-day training here, but then the day that was supposed to start I get told that I'm not supposed to do that training. Then we were supposed to do it and we're heading up to the new (to me) project this week, no next week, no this week again. Oh but my chief never even heard about this "business trip" as their calling it. So then I'm not going up next week, I'm waiting for my official start date to go up there (July 15th, if you want to know).
The people here are saying one thing and the people there have no idea what these people are talking about and they say something completely different! It's enough to drive a body mad!
And to top that off we're first told to complete as many packages as we can and provide a status on the ones we're not. Then we're told to toss everything that's not 100% done into a box and shelve it (mostly metaphorically, but part literally too). If it's not finished, even if the project gets started back up, nobody will be able to use it and it might as well go in the trash. So basically they're throwing out everything I've done in the last six months. It's maddening!
At this instant in time I am to drive up to the new project this weekend and report for training on Monday. I will then stay there for training until July 3rd (except for a trip back down here to the airport to pick up my man who's coming 'cause I already bought his plane ticket for my surgery). I can do whatever I want for the 4th through 7th, then I report BACK here to my old project for the 8th, 9th and 10th, and on the 11th I drive back up to the new project so I can officially report for my new job on the 15th. Are you confused? 'cause I sure am!
I'm afraid to do anything 'cause it could literally change any minute. I mean it's already changed about 15 times this week already. I really wish my HR rep from my first project was here, he was SO much more helpfull and easier to work with. I don't think she's a bad person, but my HR rep here is totally useless. She's never been able to help me clear up any matter at all. I really want to throw my hands in the air, shout "I give up!" and go crawl under my covers until somebody fixes everything for me. Sheesh!
