I started my new position 3 weeks ago so I am now in my fourth week. I am not thrilled. We spend too much time in meetings and I am now having to commute for three months to a location that is far enough away that it sucks at least 1 more hour out of my personal time than it does to commute to the location that I signed up for.
Without going into the details for the sake of keeping my job, I got a promotion. I lost the differential time I got for working nights when I could actually get some work done. I now spend at least 1/2 my working week in meetings. Therefore I and those of whom I attend the meetings with are probably in the same boat getting 1/2 the work done they’d like to get done.
