I am an IT professional that works at a "BIG4" firm. The morale is low and it is a somewhat backstabbing environment. Employees fight over projects (to have high pressure assignments handed out) and all work more that 55 hours a week.
Recently, I went on vacation and received a call from my director about a class that I hadn't registered for. Mind you at the time I am in Honduras. On the call he says to me that I should looking for the nearest internet connection to register for this class. It cost me 200 bucks to get to an internet WI-FI location and register for the class. The entire experience ruined my vacation and when I came back to work I was greeted with a verbal reprimand that caused me to leave the office in tears.
I feel that I can't trust my coworkers. Most of them are male and very chauvinistic, I feel that aI should leave immediately. Everyday, I go into the office and I feel that I am under undue scrutiny.
Should I stay and try to work through the tensions in my professional environment or should I just find another position (preferably out-side of IT) and attempt to find another career path to walk down.
