God I hate my job.  I really truly do.   Its such a toxic situation here that I have recently had to take sick leave due to workplace bullying from my second line manager, which of course has just made the situation worse.  HR may tell you that they are there for the employees, but really, their purpose is to serve the company - and the company is served if we all shut up and work like good little drones without making any waves.   And, of course, even if the problem is the manager (ie. it is not just me that he bullies) it is far easier to manage an employee out than to manage the manager out.   

Why, yes, I am bitter.  Why do you ask.

So why don't I leave?   Well, that is on the cards, but I want to stick it out to my 10 year anniversary which is coming up soonish, as in Australia that means we get an additional 4 weeks long service leave on top of the normal annual leave.  And if you resign, it is paid out to you (but is, unforutunately, taxed as a lump sum).

Right now, I am being a bad employee and blogging while at work.  But I really can't bring myself to give a flying hoot.
