The Working Momma

Since having a child, I have frequented many blogs.  I have read about off-ramping and on-ramping.  I have read about the glass ceiling.  Yet none of it has prepared me for this scary time.

As most of you know already, I am losing my job.  I have been looking for a replacement job for several months now but there just isn’t much out there in this geographic location for my experience level.  Even if there was, would I want to do this again?  Would things be any different?  Would I be treated like part of the team?  Would I be mentored?  Would I be trained?  Would I be treated like a human being?  I have so many doubts about this that it isn’t funny.  I am burned out when it comes to this.  All of my enthusiasm for what I do seems to be slipping between my fingers.  I love the work that I do but I can’t stand the majority of the people I work with and how they treat people.  That is what has gotten me burned out, not the work, the politics and interpersonal portions of my job.  I am tired of feeling like I am being set-up to fail from the beginning.  Maybe there are some good places to work but those probably aren’t the ones that are hiring right now.
