Promotions haven't been worth it for 30 years. Most people stick around cuz it's a PITA getting a new job
Can confirm. ^^'
Though I am just going to resign on Monday and give myself the push.
duuuude get a new job before you quir the old one
That would be the dream, but it hasn't panned out, and my long notice period is hampering me. I'm not going to continue slogging it out here indefinitely, and I don't need to.
I don't need any additional anxiety to discourage me from getting out of this before I just burn out and am in a worse position.
I saw a handmade sign in a floating workshop for ships, it stated "Please Resist Entropy". That has inspired me ever since. It sounds like you are resisting entropy and good for you. Wish you better times and a better job. o7
Fuck the notice lol
It's contractual, I'm going to serve my notice period.
Good luck! Everything will work out eventually.
fair enough, and I'm sure you know what you're doing. I've always felt that I'm in a much, much stronger position saying I'm employeed but I'd prefer to work for you rather than them suspecting that I just need some job, any job ya know
anyway, hope you work it out
Thanks, it's the culmination of a lot of thought and a previous attempt by my manager and I to rework things to make it better but hasn't really worked out. Onwards and upwards, I'd still intend to find a job during the 3 months notice period before I'm set loose so ideally I won't lose the "tempt me away" factor before I get a new gig.
Only if he still has any fucks to give
Or bills to pay. Or mouths to feed.
If they think about those, there are still fucks left to give.
If promotion means becoming a manager... no thanks.
I went from doer to manager, even though I'm now expected to do and manage... it isn't enjoyable.
Yeah but, if it was remotely enjoyable, then you might make 2 or maybe even 3% less profit for the lazy, workshy scroungers who own the company.
We can't have that now can we?
This seems like an empty threat to me. Every promotion I've ever gotten internally has come with a negligible pay increase (~4%). The best promotions I've gotten have been leaving to take a new job somewhere else (~20-50%).
And that 4% just buys you a year before inflation cuts it back down again. Searching for a job from home is easier.
Probably while updating their resumes and looking around for replacement jobs in case they find a better one. I know I would.
Man these sensational titles for articles have been setting such a deceiving narrative. I feel like I'm in a veiled world since like 2015
nobody knows whats going on anymore
Lol, more a hope than a plan
