Feeling Some Regrets
So I started my new job about a month ago. You'd think I'd still be excited about it?
Wrong.
The only great thing about my new job is the shorter commute.
After starting there, I found out some things that have soured me on the whole experience.
- no casual Fridays (unless there's some charity they want to coerce you into donating to)
- duties aren't what I thought (I like analyzing, but now I'm just building reports)
- misc.
The biggest thing, however, is PTO. The offer states that I get 4 weeks PTO. What they don't tell you is that company holidays are included in that PTO. I've never heard of it before, and no one I've talked to has either. Needless to say, it's a gyp.
This is a good reason as to why you never burn any bridges and keep your options open. I had been interviewing with my #1 choice of a company as well. When this offer came along, I had to bow out, but did ask them to keep me in mind. When I found out that I hated this job, I was able to get back into contention with my #1 choice, and recently had an interview with them. They should be making a decision soon. I hope I get it.
In other news, I finally got my furniture. The bedroom looks great with it. Now, time to get a living room set.
In other news, LSU is 3-0 so far, and the Saints are 2-0. My teams are undefeated, so I figure things can only go up from here.
