It official, we're moving to Mishawaka next week. Allison took a job with the Elkhart Public Library and we found a place to live last Saturday. It's been a busy week. I also told UPS I was leaving them last Friday. At first they took it pretty well. My boss and supervisors understood that I was moving and heading down a different path. I wasn't going to commute four hours to work for them every morning. Then a received a phone call yesterday. In fact I received two phone calls yesterday. I never get calls so this was a little weird. One was from our apartments letting us know we could move in on the 8th. The second call was from my HR guy. I figure it was an exit interview. Totally normal. It wasn't an exit interview at all. He called me to try and get me to transfer up to Elkhart. I did my two years for Allison already, I don't need to break my back anymore. I politely told him I wasn't interested. I guess that didn't go over so great. Today at work my boss and supervisor both talked to me about transferring. Apparently the HR guy emailed them and told them that they didn't want to lose me. The main reason was because I had really good numbers, like I load more boxes per hour than most people. I also have a low miss load count, which isn't true, but my drivers cover for me. I thought about it for a whole second and was like no. This has been the worse job of my life. If you do a good job they give you more work till you do a bad job. If you do a bad job they treat you like dirt. If you complain and act out you get work taken off you. If you are respectful and do your job they don't care about your work load. Let me put it plainly, this job is physically and mentally killing me. I would think about the transfer if I could be promoted to supervisor, but that's not on the table. The only thing on the table is not losing my seniority which is one year, because I was an official employee for the first few months there. I was going to apply to be a supervisor when it opened up this last time, but guess what? They told me about it in November and they still haven't got around to hiring for it. They actually have two supervisor positions up in my center right now.
Mishawaka is going to be my new world. I'll look for a job there, but I won't take a crap job like I had to in Bloomington. No, I'll will actually wait till I get a real job offer this time.
