Here's the rundown... I know I was told to love my job but once the whole story is told you might see my perspective. I'll try to keep it short. I'm now believing I'm soon to be without a job. A couple of weeks ago I had a run in with the new production manager (who is little more than a glorified receptionist). She was patronizing, disrespectful and frankly insulting. My boss has it in his head that I'm ripping him off. The fact is I don't choose to work 85 hour work weeks... I have to so the job will get done by its airdate deadline. He doesn't seem to see it that way. He just looks at that big pay cheque and can't make the connection between work and wages... He just sees it as work and me taking money from him. Sad really but he's not much of a business man and tends to treat the studio more like an ATM machine than a business with employees and responisbilities. I'm usually nervous my pay cheque will bounce because of his uncontrolled spending habbits. To make this long story short he sent his production minion into my office to give me a rough time and I wouldn't take her shit. I didn't deserve it considering all the times I've bailed that studio out when production has dropped the ball. Since then I've gotten nothing but the cold shoulder from my boss and the obvious fake smiles and small talk from the production staff. Yesterday I gave the producer a rundown on where my department stood... verified what was going on and made plans on what task to start the next day (basically it was me telling them what was going on because they don't have a clue). As I'm driving home I get a phone call saying that they would prefer this other person do my project and that I didn't need to come in today... Now the significance of that statement is this... I'm freelance. I don't get notice... severence... or anything really. Until they call me back in I'm officially unemployed without EI (Canadian Employment Insurance). This situation makes me nervous. If you made it this far thanks for listening to my rant. If you are the owner of a company and feel like giving a hardworking intelegent take charge kind of guy a job.... drop me a line.
