Okay, first of all, I get promoted to what is prolly one of the most high-stress jobs in my company and only get a $1 - $2 an hour raise. I'll be the *sole* accounts payable person, dealing with both overhead bills and our subcontractors. That's fine. I can handle that. However, I would like a wee bit more of a raise. Secondly, I do not get an office, which I could also deal with. *But*, the three girls in the accounting department (me, Julie, and Michelle) will be moved into *one* office. There'll barely be enough room for *us*, let alone all of our files. So, guess where the files stay? Down-freaking-stairs. I'll keel over if I have to run up and down stairs every five minutes..especially carrying 30 extra pounds in front of me! Plus, they're making the office even more cramped by dividing us out into cubicles. There are people downstairs who are in their offices for *maybe* two hours a day at the *most*. It would be a lot of shuffling, but we could move the department head (who's a total jackass, by the way) downstairs to the boss' son's office (he doesn't *really* need an office in the office..he could be out in one of the construction trailers), move the boss' wife and the head of sales up to Bob's (my department's head) office, put him in Ryan's office, and give me the boss' wife's office. We'd still all be together, there'd be room for everyone's files, and no one would be so freaking cramped. But would they do something that makes sense? Nooooooooo. Ugh.

Now, that really *was* a rant.

Hmmmmmm...I could see where this could be a problem...*nods*
You should slap that boss/hea/stupid person whoever he/she is with your wings or something...
*HUGS*
hey, hugs from Napoli rule, that's all I hafta say!

I'm sure they'll do something...anyone with half a brain would sometime figure out that you'll be cramped...

Sit back, buckle up, and strap yourself in...this will be a bumpy ride on a joy ride!
Hey, it's the least I can do, and you know that's all I do
 
Mth, I'd be pissed off too if I were you. Have you considered typing up a memo (bossman types seem to love anything in memo format) and outlining your ideas?

These people sound like idiots, but if there's the *tiniest* chance of them listening, you owe it to yourself to speak up.

oh, and... *Hugs*

UGH!
You just reminded me what it was I use to hate about working. Dumb people, dumb rules and no monetary *thank yous*.

Go ahead a let out girlie!
Don't hold back now.

Always be yourself. If they can't take a joke, *@#% em!
 
you do realize (though at risk to yourself) you can make a complaint, especially since u have that extra 30 pounds, and they are pretty much obligated to make you comfortable

though i guess asking nicely might work too

I *did* type up my suggestion and email it to the boss' wife *and* the head of accounting. Did it get me anywhere? No. None of us is happy about moving upstairs, but it'll be the "least hassle" in moving people's offices and all sorts of office politics nonsense, I suppose. It would just be *silly* to move the boss' family around. God.

Mth, you should be pissed, too. As you are in the last trimester of your pregnancy, the last thing you need is running up and downstairs every 5 minutes carrying 30 pounds in front of you. You should complain as this arrangement is not good for your condition. If they don't listen, is there a way you can get the doctor to endorse your idea?

::sigh:: Complaining doesn't get you much of anywhere in my company. Don't get me wrong, I like working there (for the most part), but once they set their mind on something, forget it. Their reasoning would be that I'm only there for 1 1/2 to 2 more months before Jason's born anyway, so pft to me, I guess. Everyone but the people who made the decision thinks it's ridiculous. Sure, why not shove three women in a little office and separate them with cubicles? Who needs files at their fingertips anyway? Stairs are good excercise. Bah.

Mth this is a construction company . . . Right. Why dont they do a little constructing and add on to the office. You know tear down a few walls, etc. If they need help I would be more then willing to go and do it for them, although i dont think that they would be pleased with the job i would do. . . I have always been better at the tearing down then the putting up. Oh well I hope that your dumb boss sees the light and realizes that he is messing with a bunch of aliens when he messes with you, and we arnt a good croud to make Mad . . .

Prox, you rock.

::sigh::

Maybe this'll work out better than we think. Space-wise at least. Going up and downstairs 50 bagillion times a day is still gonna suck.
