"What the .... !?"

Friday Night....Whew!!

Well I thought tonight would never come, this was a long crappy week and I am glad it is over.

Basically work sux, I work in a very racial company!! Not only are they not hiring any new people (except for upper level management to suck away money!) in California all of the new workers are being hired in India!!

Not only that, there always seems to be "special" rules for me as opposed to everyone else. Our company lets the managers decide about telecommuting and I always get the managers that tell me I do not have enough visibility!! they always represent the other members of the team as working hard if out of sight but I am not working when I am out if sight.

I am really getting tired of this crap!! I explained to my manager that when he, as a manager, gets a new boss they already expect that the managers are perfect and treat the that way (trust), but when I get a new manager every year I am always starting over and having to prove myself over and over and over but never getting any promotions or raises!

I also have a big problem when I am fufilling a company goal by trying to be a modular tester (which means to be able to work on multiple projects instead of just one!!) and I get a ding on my review because I didn't perform as well as the testers that have over 3 or more years on just that one project!!

What do these people want from me!?! Unfortunately I already know....they just want people to quit because it sucks so bad.

It seems that they promote the people that will make things as bad as possible so people will just quit instead of having to be fired! (No un-employment benefits that way!!)

Have any of you ever heard of a person with the least amount of time in the company in the group and experience in the job make an ultimatum that they wil not work for a specific co-worker if that co-worker was made manager, and then management asked the other co-worker if he would work for this employee if they were promoted and he answered correctly with "I will be professional and work with whoever becomes management." Well to make things easy upper-management decides to promote the employee that gave an ultimatum!!

Can you believe that sh*t!!

So that transaction kept me from changing groups, because if the other person (the professional employee) would have become manager I would have been able to join that group! Since the "baby" got the management position he went with taking another junior person into the group as a favor to another manager (same race, hint, hint!!)

That kind of crap is running rampant in Silicon Valley, as well as any other high-tech company in any other state, that employs people from multiple countries. I mean H-1 visas, etc. as the company I work for threw so much money at brining so many employees from India and China. That means that my company pays for their visas, salary, extra salary for housing, other expenses, etc. all instead of hiring an American from the local area.

this practice usually happens when a management position is filled by an H-1 visa employee they automatically create positions that they say they can't fill locally then bring over "friends" and "family members" to fill these positions, which drains the profits!! This is just what happens in the business units that I have been apart of and I hear that others are worse!! By the way there are hundreds of business units so this on a large scale lowers the stock price, etc.

That practice has made it so there are no good working positions in Silicon Valley and all of the openings in the good companies are in Bangalore, India!!

I just needed to vent, because couple the work crap with all this political sh*t and I am just pissed!!

I need to sleep in.....aahhh!!!
