I have exactly 36 minutes left before I leave this building for the evening and I want to produce a carefully worded rant to demonstrate the complete repulsion I feel today for my Manager.
I work hard, I play hard, I like to think I have produced some worthwhile work, I also acknowledge Ive produced some sh*t and got myself into some fairly stupid work related situations. But this morning I asked my Manager, from here on in please substitute the word W**ker, to look over a mail out I was going to send out to all my IT users re forth coming courses. For the last three years I have been doing these "personal mails" and my courses to date have an 88% attendance rate - which I think speaks for itself.
Anyway long story short (I know it never is, but bear with me) he said no it wasn't cost effective!!! WHHHHAAAATTT!!! was my initial reaction. My mail out costs a paltry £40.00 and the courses bring a revenue of approximately £1500.00 each quarter.
Apparently I haven't been effective in my marketing, apparently Im putting on courses that are not attended and apparently I shouldn't be "attempting" - ATTEMPTING - to build on the relationship I have with my current and repeat learners.
Since January not only have I produced and successfully ran courses for this centre but I have devised, advertised and programmed a range of courses for another community centre. I have spent the last three weeks attending meetings trying to co-ordinate learning providers to ensure effective and progressional learning for learners within both locations and - yes AND - I have been running the admin office because my Manager hired a complete and utter lying, inefficient, fraudulent blonde dumb-shell, who has now left, as an Assistant Manager and we were left without any admin support.
I am seething!!!!
I have decided from now I do what every one else within this wonderful environment does and thats bugger all. I will work my core hours, take my wages and go home.
So how is work for you?
Know of any Learning Facilitating jobs going?
Hmmm not bad for 20 mins....
