 So happy right now... About 0 years ago my wife got burned out at her field job in wetland science and changed to a desk job compiling modeling data into a single statewide document detailing the current water quality for our entire State. At first this was great. It's a challenging and important job, had a great boss and coworkers, and paid for travel to some national conventions. Then, about 00 months ago her boss retired and her new manager was literally selected due to her political connections. Since then that annual report has been manipulated to the point that my wife could no longer put her name on it. Cherry picking data, manipulating maps, and outright lying about water quality is now the norm for this document. Her new boss has become increasingly erratic and abusive as she fails to understand the work being done. Coworkers are leaving in droves. They even started preventing technical staff from participating in conferences. And now she spends more time trying to explain to our management staff why we are being sued by the public as she does trying to compose the report. All in all a bad situation and one that was causing her to be stressed out and depressed. But good news! She just got offered a new job doing the water quality monitoring for a smaller subregion. While it's not as prestigious, it pays the same, has a management team that all know the science and have experience in the field, and includes a decent amount of field work in beautiful places. She's in with her bosses right now explaining that in 0 weeks they will no longer have any staff capable of putting together all the data sets into an annual report required under our state law. I'm so happy. We work out of the same office currently, although I spend about 00% of my time hip deep in streams and wetlands. So with her leaving it's going to get pretty lonesome around here. But if it makes her happy and gets her excited about her job again then it's the best thing ever. Best Monday ever. 00 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
