And I’m supposed to be motivated why?
I’m working six days a week with only a half hour lunch and the threat of extended hours. Why? No one seems to know. There’s a big push to get the project we’re working on done, but no one knows what the rush is. It’s nothing critical. It is a goal for the section, but nothing that should be causing this much grief. Naturally, the motivation in the office has gone down. No surprise there. We’re working long hours for a goal that has no purpose. And to add to it, every day we get a lecture about how we need to be more motivated and that the section has lost it’s sense of urgency. Well…of course. The assumption around here is that the big boys want us to finish up this project because a large chunk of us are going to be “let go” in May (our budget is being slashed, funding will no longer be available after September [we're being replaced with cheaper, civilian technicians - way to screw the Soldier Nat'l Guard!] – and they’ve made previous threats of stopping orders at the end of April). Okay, so, now you’ve got Soldiers working long hours towards a goal they don’t understand, thinking they’re going to be cut as soon as they finish the project. Well no shit they’re not motivated, they have no sense of urgency! Are you a moron? Give us somthing to actually be happy about, and maybe then we’ll work on motivation. Till then, f’ you.
Later
