Fucking fuck I hate this shit so much. Monthly department all hands...

Oh looky one of the new guys on my team is getting accolades for "stepping up" because he volunteered to take one swing shift pager hot seat a week off me (thank the fucking gods.. I've been the only person on my team doing 5 a week since we started this a year ago.. everyone else does 1 a week and 1 weekend a month.. I do it every shift.. and get a work an awful schedule that means I get one weekend off every 2 weeks) but does this get mentioned? not really no. Atleast it gives me 1 day a week to fucking get shit done since I've got 8 months to move our legacy site and 10 months to move our entire B site in CA to a new DC that we haven't even finished locating new datacenter for and only just started contract negotiations for.. which extra fucks the legacy site move because the majority of shit in it was getting rebuilt on new hardware at the current B site which we now have to out of by December 31st 2019.

I mean I'm glad for the help and like this guy but it kinda feels like getting shit on that he is getting a fucking bonus (lol 100$ gift card okay not that big a deal) for taking 1 of my hot seats a week (doesn't fix my fucky schedule though)

And another new to our team (transfer from another department) got promoted over me to supervisor for my team... because... we can't move me from working swing shift without losing 24/7 coverage which is one our requirements.

Oh.. but we all are getting position title changes with no raise because our team is being renamed from NOC/Datacenter Operations to Operations Engineering.. lol..

But hey my boss and department director keep stressing that they don't want me to feel like I'm alone and stuck where I'm in our 1on1 meetings.
Just don't have the budget or reqs to hire help for me or relief..

Bleh and comp review is not for another 4 months. I'm sure another 2.8% QoL raise (inflation index out here was 3.5% last year) will totally help. But you know since I'm the only person on my team in CA... I already make more anyone else on the team because I'm on the California pay scale (please note I live paycheck to paycheck because bay area rent is crazy)

I had plans to start setting aside company time (manager approved training) to develop and learn AWS and teraform better but with these two massive, emergency datacenter decom and relocate projects that totally isn't going to happen.
