All good tips. Thank you all!
I should re-state the point that I USED to work for a big company, now I work for a small to mid-sized company. HR is only one person, and she is the biggest joke of an HR person I've ever seen, so that's not really an option.
And I should also mention that I do have to tread very carefully here, because keeping this job is important. In my area the tech job posibilities are slim to none, so it's important for my career that I stay where I am. Also added to that is the fact that I simply cannot afford financially to quit and go somewhere else on a moments notice. Quiting the company would be an absolute last straw.
Thanks again, one and all for you thoughts!
