In less than 2 months, with a change in workplace, my average work day has changed significantly!
O=Old workplace
N=New workplace
O- Drove to work daily, parking expensive, too many speed bumps and difficult parking situation.
N= Take public transportation.
O=Got paid for lunch break
N= No pay for lunch break
O=No office / shared office
N=Dedicated high tech and efficient work station
O=No coffee, hassles with coffee, unwelcoming morning atmosphere.
N= Large canisters, many options for variety of coffee.
O= No water, cafeteria workers attempting "shake downs" for cup of water.
N= Purified water systems in office locations.
O= No meetings with supervisor since 2003
N=Weekly update and planning meetings with supervisor.
O= No motivation, no recognition, no enlightenment.
N= Ongoing feedback, mini birthday gatherings once a month.
O=No privacy with paychecks. Every whore in hospital able to see paychecks.
N= Private disbursements done electronically.
O= Since 2001, time clock/swipe system. Unprofessional
N= Clock in daily, very professional
O=Lot of physical work, covered 3 separate buildings.
N= One office.
O= Physically active, but unnecessary.
N= Go out for 30-minute walk at lunch time.
O= Lots of co-workers, but 90% seeking someone to listen to their problems (Go find a shrink!!!!)
N= Focus on work, no games, no chatter no idle time.
O= No investment toward professional development.
N= Demands are high, so good amount of resources dedicated toward professional development of employees.
I am not saying the new workplace is a panacea, but in comparison, there are startling differences.
