Frustration

I am so frustrated that I could scream right now. CP and I had a productive weekend visiting a bunch of properties with our realtor. We will be checking out houses tomorrow night, but if we don’t find anything then we have two from this past weekend that we love. There is a big price disparity between the two houses though- one we would have to do some work on. Not necessarily as soon as we move in, but we would need to add on a family room/den once we have kids. The other one is move-in ready, new windows, roof, furnace, etc., updated kitchen, and has plenty of room- without being a McMansion.

HOWEVER, even if we wanted to, we can’t put an offer down on either house. Before I left the office last week, my boss advised me to not make any offers. Because I might not have a job come August. Scratch that- I would have a job at my company, but it might not be in CT. UMMM WHAT??!??? They potentially could tell me that my job is across the country in a state that I don’t want to move to “because that is where they have the need.”

The whole thing is utter bullcrap. They wouldn’t move me to Denver, so CP and I decided that we would stay here in the Northeast because that is where we had jobs. Now that we are ready to buy a house and start trying to have a kid they suddenly tell me that my job might be located elsewhere? RIDONKULOUS.

Not to mention the fact that I was told at the end of last week that the promotion that I am eligible for in September? Is not going to happen. Now before you say anything about the hard economic times and how I am lucky to have a job (or not considering the news above), the promotion is built in to my program. So it is complete crap that they suddenly are like, well, you are no longer eligible. My new salary was built into the budget so it’s not like they don’t have the money.

I’M SO FRUSTRATED WITH MY COMPANY. This is NOT how you treat employees. Guess it is about time to update my resume…..
