New Job

So, if you haven't figure it out already, I'm changing jobs... again. It feels like I just went through this, as it hasn't been so long since I just started working here, a little over a year and a half ago. But things here are rigid. The number of days off sucks, the pay sucks, and the non-flexible work hours suck. Plus I don't get those expected things like direct deposit. AND they charge overhead on my using my own car for travel. So, they charge the client one rate, and pay me less. Now I don't mind the low mileage rate, I do mind that they take a cut out of what they are charging. So if someone travels 5000 miles in a year, it's not going to amount to much for the company to give them all that money. But imagine what it would do for morale. Plus communication sucks here. My boss is gone on vacation today and Monday and I found this out from her at 4:55 pm yesterday. And this happens often enough to be annoying. Not always on vacation, but sometimes field visits or what not, but I never know until about 9 or 10 when I go looking for her (she's rarely here at 8). I work overtime, but I don't get paid for it, no bonuses, no thank you for staying up until 10 pm to get this done. Sometimes she'll let me know that day that I have to work late. Once she told me at 4:30 on Friday I had to stay and finish one of her projects cause it had to go out that day. She on the other hand had to leave early. This happens enough to be annoying too. How come people can't just tell me the deadline before an hour before it's due, especially when they've known this for a week or more? I get here at 7 and have to stay until 5 pm because the management won't let us work a flexible schedule. I mean really, why can't I work 7-4, my boss works 9-5. I bring my laptop to work because the computer I'm given is too slow to do the work I need it to do.

I'm taking a paycut to leave this place. That in itself irks me. I know the benefits will be better at the new job, but most of them are benefits I had at my last job, previous to this, working at a consultant. I knew all this coming in to this job. Or at least most of it. I was warned by friends of previous workers not to come here. I didn't listen; all I have to blame is myself. However, the big reason I'm leaving goes beyond any of what I mentioned above, most of which I could live with. So I wanted to get out, and get out relatively fast. And took the first thing that came along.
