Tonight, in all probability, was the final straw.
Nothing kicked off at work - we had a minor domestic and a few chavs have to be separated from 'swinging' - but the problem this evening, and the continuing issue, is how we're treated by the big cheeses.
Now, it may seem like I bitch a lot on here - I'm not really sure how all of this comes across - but I've never known a place that treats every employee so equally. And not in a good way - that's equally poorly. If you're really good at your job, you're regarded and rewarded in the same way as somebody who is entirely average. What other company operates in this way? I've never experienced anything like it before in my life.
And it's especially bad in security.
I had a chat with the overall boss of security tonight, and she told me (in her usual polite, dulcet tone) that there was no more money in the security budget, so no plans to pick up the hourly wage, and that this was never going to change over the course of my contract.
In short: goodbye holiday park.
I've certainly given them enough opportunities, but how can you stay somewhere that doesn't reward good members of staff and doesn't punish the bad ones? It's the principle of the thing; by rolling with it, you're basically bending over and taking it up the shitter.
So, I'm officially looking for a new job.
Ideas welcome and appreciated; email them to dirtyjobblog@gmail.com. I'm not leaving security, so basically I'm considering areas in this line of work. It's broader than you probably think, so knock yourselves out. Of course, it needs to be a bit dirty. And if you hear of anything in the East Sussex area (or really, as far as London), that is just great, drop me a line. Ideally, something will crop up in the next month or so. In the meantime, don't fret: I'll still be blogging my arse away (just imagine how that sentence would have been received a decade ago.)
On a side note, yesterday was my 100th blog post. Go me.
