Today it took 4 hours to do the 2 hour job. I asked for help. Got none. In hand typing a couple hundred transactions I made a typo.
I got the please be careful email from my boss saying how a typo is unfair to poor "second in command"
I got quite mad.
I HATE reconciling the accounts... HATE...like it makes me cry. HATE. I start early just to get them out of the door... HATE. It is an entry level data entry job that I would have only stayed a year if I ever applied for the job...
Well, gee...then I guess I need a break in between accounts and people will have to wait for their balances.
Sigh...
The boss has been pushing me on taking over a reconciliation from a coworker. Problem is I can't understand it. To audit an account you need to know how the transactions pass through it. The people doing it cannot have a dialog with me. Their answer was that to clear it you take the middle 2 debits and the second to last credit and they should equal. Okay. What do these entries represent? Why do the clear each other? The answer was "it just works that way" That will not fly by an auditor. EVER. Sigh... So I ask what happens if it does not. They don't know. Okay. So it will always balance that way. No, not always. Okay so what do you do when it doesn't. They could not tell me.
So I have a call with the boss. I am angry and tired... and I just don't like this job... She really doesn't know this either. The boss was confused. I get that, but I need words. I need a dialog...
I need a sedative.
The boss starts to tell me how she isn't doing well. Gee, is this so I will feel bad for her. Sigh. I hate this crap.
She is having major back issues and may need surgery, but she is afraid. I say the sympathetic things you should say... I am not a total Ogre. But I am still having a shitty time with the job they rammed down my throat in the middle of a pandemic.
She is going on and on about how working from at home is bet to make us feel like we are all part of the Pennsylvania team now. Blah blah bah... (still HATE what I am doing... Still don't trust the PA boss as far as I can through her... and at at my current rage level I could toss her pretty far). The boss is tying to make nice talk...to pat my head... and telling me to have patience..etc...
And then she goes on about how she had her one on one with the Pennsylvania boss and we may not get back to the office until 2021. She could hear my voice crack as I said "oh"...
I don't know how I can keep this job up until next year and networking is not a thing at the bank if we can't go in. I just don't know what to do.
I couldn't say more as the boss had a conference call with her doctor about her back.
Thats okay as I just wanted to go cry.
The kicker is that she wants to have the second in command talk to me about the account that I need a dialog on so I can audit it. This is the same woman who told me to go in and steal a better computer so I could do my job faster.
I need a way to make this better
If I need to do this job then I should report to a boss in Pennsylvania.

Your workplace is so crazy sometimes I need a sedative just reading about it. :(
