Just finished the HR and IT meeting for the new company I now work for after the merger. It has been a while since I've had to deal with all this stuff. There is so much paperwork (well online form filling out) that it is annoying. Especially since all it really is going to be is the same information my old company had transferred to the new company. Still there is an improvement in my overall benefits with this company like more time off, better compensation (via salary, stock, ESPP, etc.) and other minor stuff that it will be worth it in the end.
It just seems strange to be doing this all over again. Being a "new hire" and yet doing a job for a company where I've been employed for over 18 years. Kind of a oxymoron in a way.
I just want a chance to actually progress in life now though. After spending so much time making sure that my paycheck would continue to arrive and having other parts of the company not keep up their end of the bargain so that the company struggled has been incredibly frustrating. I've worked so hard over the years I just want to get some of what I should have reaped in the end. Maybe it will finally arrive now and I can treat my wife the way she should be treated. That is what it is all about really. Working to provide for my wife so that she doesn't have to deal with the stresses and troubles of life.
