I started a new temp job assignment 3 months ago. I'm hiding in the bathroom crying and on the verge of a panic attack if that's any indication of how things are going. This is the most disorganized and messy department I have ever worked in. Their records are incorrect going back years and some things they don't even have records of. I can see why, because about 5 hours of each day is my coworker trying to find a record he misplaced. I have spent the last 3 months organizing everything to the best of my ability and keeping it in a centralized location, but even with me spending 3 months organizing everything things STILL cannot be found. I have to help him find everything, even records from before I worked here!!
Now I am getting snarky emails from the finance person.. all of the records I am sending him have apparently been incorrect. What am I supposed to do? I have been here for literally 3 months. I have NO idea what was happening before that time and where to find the records. I said that to him in an email.. that these records are the best of my knowledge. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope. Every day I'm asking to compile a list of something or another even though I have already made lists of EVERYTHING. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M LISTING ANYMORE.
On top of that there is a completely failed side project that's happening. We are supposed to be doing upgrades on people's phones and computers to a new service. Half of the time the new service crashes, the customer is angry, and we have to placate them while working with the service people behind the scenes to fix it. This is daily life at this place and I want to scream. I'm a very organized person and I really don't like having to back track. If the service isn't working for half of the people why are we still doing it, you may ask. I'm asking the same damn question every day.
Yesterday my coworker told me that they would like to extend my assignment. PLEASE NO. I'm halfway through and I'm looking forward to getting the hell out of this place. Right now that's the only silver lining.
My hope is by the end of the year I can find a place that I want to work permanently in my chosen career. I had NO idea temp work could be this stressful. My last assignment was not much better than this, except it was boring and tedious with shitty supervisors more than stressful. This is just a hot mess of a place, honestly.
