We're going through some extreme budget cuts right now and I'm thinking about jumping ship.
I've been trying to get a desk in the office for over a year now but have always been told there wasn't availability. In the mean time, I've been working from home which isn't the worst thing but it hinders my development. Today I got a call from my boss saying that a purchase request was created for my desk but not to get my hopes up. Evidently it requires VP approval and we're probably not going to get it.
Also, my request to attend a free local one-day conference was denied. It's being held by some industry leaders and is very relevant to my current role. I'm thinking about taking PTO and attending anyway.
Am I being unreasonable? This is a fortune 500 company.
