All in all, things are looking much better at work. Which basically means I have a few leads to get out of my current position. I don't see things improving there until everyone forgets how good things used to be. Then, "better" won't have such high standards.
Regardless, I was amused by one incident this week. I came in and I had a privacy violation against me because I left a piece of paper on my desk which was marked "Confidential." This page was just old scrap paper that I was using from an outdated presentation, talking about our previous workflows, and it had absolutely ZERO insider information, but because it was on my desk and it had the word "Confidential" in the bottom left-hand corner, it was considered a privacy violation.
Here's the amusing part: there's an enlarged page hanging up on the wall right outside our manager's door. This is the guy who holds the position of the supervisor to my supervisor's supervisor. This isn't a little 8x11 page either, it's more like 32x44. And it isn't outdated workflow, but it's detailing how we are currently operating. And it isn't laying on his desk, but it is on display intended for everyone to see. Yet it has the exact same "Confidential" stamp in the corner. It's been hanging up for months, and it's still up there.
I holding off on telling them about it until I have somewhere to go. Then I'll point it out as a last laugh. Hopefully then they'll understand why I say that it's impossible to take the job seriously.
