  Been a long time coming

  I haven't written anything here like 3 months. And it's not for a lack of things to say, but because I've been busy with work and I just haven't really had the time, or the willpower, to write. But now I do.

  I've been waiting for my raise to come in at my job for a while now. I haven't been really pushing it because I've learned to live on what I make now. Just having a bit more would allow me to pad my savings account, which is like a sheet of paper right now. But whenever I ask my manager, who previously had to talk to her manager, she kept shooting down my work, and thus denying my raise. I was nice enough to continue waiting and working on improving my job performance, but I was constantly being shot down. I finally asked why and my manager told me the comments of her manager which I must say, "I'm completely and utterly unhappy with!" to say the least. My reaction was much stronger than that though.

  Let's say I was compared to an animal in a completely derogatory manner. I'm highly upset by this because this was completely unprofessional to even have that come out of her mouth. What's more is that my improved work performance isn't even being acknowledged at all! Everything about my work has been put into a negative light and, from her, I've received nothing positive or even constructive criticism. In fact she doesn't even talk to me face to face.

  My manager has called me to talk to me about it, and I must say I feel only a smidgen better because she's at least tried to understand the situation. But I'm still not happy, nor will I take it lying down. I talked to my mom about it and we've both decided, it would be best to be pissed off right now, but calm down, and talk about it tomorrow. Luckily the manager over the other is coming on Tuesday and we'll be able to talk to him about the comments, among other problems.

  Hopefully something can be done. Hopefully this will not be swept under the rug. If anyone reads this has anything like this happened to you? What did you do? What would you do?

  PS: I'm almost done with Christmas shopping. Anyone else almost there or done? Anyone still to start? I'm hoping my gifts will go over well with the people I got them for.
