As many of you know, I have resigned from my position. Today is my last day so at this point I'm really just waiting for 5:00 to roll around.
Yesterday we had layoffs (second time in the year and a half I've worked here). I'm disappointed that I'll be leaving several close friends behind me, but MAN am I glad to have this dark chapter behind me. Working here has been the most depressing period of my life. There's too many reasons to cite just one, but there is so much mistrust between management and the worker bees. On a regular basis I've watched people comprimise their character and integrity in the name of political maneuvering. Of course we all "play the game" to a certain extent, but the degree of backstabbing and two-faced-ness here is enough to cause one to question humanity. I haven't been a victim of it, but it's still depressing as hell. In fact, I'd like to think that I made a few personal/career sacrifices at this job so I could help a few people out... I'm happy that I can walk away feeling like that.
