Well what's new...a company lied. I work in IT and was outsourced a month ago. Well they called it a "rebadging" and said that nothing would change, I'd still be doing the same work, at the same desk for the same pay blah blah blah. They told me I was actually getting a good deal because now I was free to move to other projects and work on cool stuff. Well it's been a month now and almost EVERYTHING has changed. My job description changed, I'm not doing the work I loved anymore and my new boss is a waste of space who has 100 people under him and doesn't have a clue what I do all day. And yeah, I am getting the same money but my benefits cost more now so I am taking home LESS. Also, we have a rather large cafeteria onsite that was subsidized for the employees...well guess what I'm not an employee anymore and now I can't eat there anymore cuz my new badge doesn't work on the door sensor thing to open the doors. I have to have one of my buddies let me in and then I feel like a criminal or something when I am buying my chicken tenders! WTF! I am looking for a new job but the market is so bad that it looks grim. Maybe I should move overseas where I'll be treated like a king. The longer I stay here the more I feel like an irate rat who can't open the door to eat his subsidized cheese. That's ok cuz soon I may be on government cheese. Something must be done!
