So I finally "confronted" my manager and asked her what the hell is going on with my promotion and everything else in my workplace. She was very honest and apologetic, but she only had bad news. She told me she doubted I'd get a promotion before I leave, which includes the payrise. She told me the higher-up managers have promised a few other employees payrises, despite the fact the BIG company that essentially owns us, has told us they cannot give out any more payrises this year. She told me that if I wanted to quit and do temp work, as I said I was likely to get more money as a temp, she would completely understand as she'd do the same thing if she was in my possition.
I was shocked, but gratful to hear some honesty, instead of all the bullshit and lies. Bit now I am in a predicament. I cannot decide what do do for the 10 weeks I have left in London. I'm going to my old agency on my day off Monday and talk to them. The only thing I can think of doing is wait for a two-month position to come up with them, and maybe just work weekends or nights here so I'll have a decent amount of money for the two months I have planned for travelling. Or maybe I could just suck it up, stay here, and do every little bit of overtime I can possibly get.
The sad thing is, I'm writing this at work (yes I'm working ANOTHER Saturday), while doing the most horrible and tedious task for the account department. Fucking hell, I am such a fool.
