Crying and work shouldn't mix

Today wasn't a great Friday. I cried at work...again. I'm so tired of dealing with management who pleads the fifth when you confront them with an issue. They want their staff to be "open and honest 100% of the time", yet when you are, oh how you are drilled into the ground and made to feel like a piece of crap. I wish I had the strength of my friend Anne who has been able to avoid corporate America for some time now through her own businesses. I know I need a steady income, but I also know that I'm worth more than I'm being credit for. I'm glad I'm job hunting and I know I will end up in another corporate position, however knowing that I'll be away from my previous manager (who has only been a manager for a year) will no longer be trying to control me. She has a lot to learn about management and if she keeps moving up in the corporate ladder, I'll know it's not what you know, it's who you can step on to reach the top that really counts.

So sorry you are having a rough time with work!!! There is nothing worse than dreading waking up knowing you have to go to a place you don't like and where people are mean!! I hope the job hunting works out!

It's been rough, but I can't give up! I am thankful to have a job, but that doesn't always make the day easier!
