Well, they restructured.

Here's my previous post, but the gist is this: I worked at a spot for 13 of the past 15 years with the understanding that I was going to get the title of Director once my boss retired. It was the specific reason I came back to a job I had quit already.

This past June, three weeks before my boss was set to retire, they came to me and offered me the job title of "coordinator" (the new title on the euphemism treadmill for secretary/assistant). My boss was making ~130k year. They offered me 65k to do my job and my boss's job. I bounced. Sucks for the person who replaced me.

I've spent the past few months trying to relax and travel a bit (I have some savings). I'm getting serious about the job search now and I'm so unbelievably fucked by everything. Everywhere I look wants ten years experience in shit that wasn't even invented ten years ago and a job title I've never held. I'm not sure how anyone is qualified to apply to these jobs - it seems no employer wants to train a new person, they just want someone who magically appears fully trained the moment they turn 18.

So, that's my vent; I should have went to trade school instead of college - I would have had enough money to retire by now.
