Day Seventy...

So today is the big day. Time to face the boss and tell him what I want. I am determined to come out of this with what I want as the way it has all gone down is bullshit. I have made a mental list of demands and what I want to say. i have every intention of going in and dictating what I want and it is up to them to accomodate it or I will start looking elsewhere.

Only 2 hours to go and I am surprisingly not nervous at all. I have accepted that one of two things will happen:

• I will go in, lay down the law, tell them what I want, we work out a compromise, everyone is happy.
• I will go in, lay down the law, tell them what I want, they refuse to work with me on a compromise or solution, I work part time until I go and work somewhere else.

Regardless of what happens, I win. hance the lack of nervousness. I know I am good at my job and I know they would struggle without me. My results and ability speak for themselves, they need to come to me.

So, it has happened. I told them what i thought, they threw a bunch of management speak back at me, I nodded and accepted that they would never admit I was right or my ideas were better. At this point it dawned on me that they are just more corporate tossers. I told them I wanted to work part-time, I don't think beleived me as my leader nearly crapped herself when I gave her my formal request 20 mins later. Now I just have to wait for the response and then decide what my next move will be.

As far as I am concerned, at this point in time with bugger all staff and heaps of work, they need me more than I need them. I have the skills and qualifications to go to another insurer, lets see if it plays out that way.
