Almost

For about 10 minutes today I was absolutely sure I was going to quit my job. My boss has been on me all this week to book appointments when last week I was pulled out of my area to train on closing students. I didn't have the same amount of time as the others to make the numbers yet expected to perform the same as they do. My manager has been under pressure from her boss, the owner of the company, to make really high numbers for this coming search. I told her today that I need a balance here in terms of my numbers with my time allowed to book them. If I cannot be given the same number of hours to book appointments I cannot be expected to have the same number of appointments. The two are related. No one can deny that. She started to get defensive and told me I should just walk if I was going to talk that way. She could find plenty of other people to fill the position. I almost did. She felt that I would call her bluff I think, so she quickly changed her tune. She understands my frustration and she is going to help me pull up my numbers (how? I dunno). In the end today was not so bad. I will be looking for more appealing jobs in the meantime, but I won't leave unless something else comes along.
