I like my job. I love the money.  :biggrin2:
I hate my job and haven't been there for a week.  :biggrin:

Issue here:

I have a decent job. I do well there.


I have info about another job that pays well and I think I would like.


I hate to leave the one I have to find out the other one isn't all I expected,but it is more money.


INPUT!  :confused:

You're gonna have to weigh the pros and cons really careful on that one. I don't do well with change of any sort. I'm very set in my ways. That's why I've been at my crappy job for 5 years. I hate change!!!!  :mad:

AW - I think when you weigh the pros and cons that you should also factor in room for advancement or if not that, is it in a different field that would provide you w/more or different experience which would make you more marketable later on? Is one a career versus just a job? Just a couple thoughts.

We have major drama at work. Two guys I work with (Kyle & Chase) were real good friends. Kyle sent dirty text messages to Chase's girlfriend.  Chase was mad but, he let it slide. Last week, Kyle started a fight with Chase, and he sucker punched Chase twice at work. Needless to say Kyle got fired. Christmas Day Kyle's fiancee found out about the dirty text messages, from one of her friends. Now, everybody is on edge at work because, we're afraid he might come in, and do somethin' stupid, like shoot the place up.  :spooked: He's nuts and we wouldn't be surprised if he did do somethin' like that.  What a mess.  :rolleyes:

To anyone who has been followin' this thread..... Travis did 4 months in jail, and he is now workin' with us again. I was surprised my boss took him back. He is quite different than he was. He's much more relaxed, and not emotional at all. I think his "time out" may have been just what he needed.  :yes:

Good news about Travis.  Glad to hear he pulled himself together.

Lets hope nothing comes out of that other mess.

The job I have now the highest you can go takes about 5 years.
The other job I was looking into I would be the Assistant of the main boss.
Both are career moves.

I don't really like the boss I have now because she's such an uhappy person and expects you to be nice to her but she's rarely nice to anyone else.

The other job,well a good friend of mine would be my boss. Some people say it might ruin our friendship if I work under her. The money is twice what I make now.

UGH!

No wonder it's such a hard decision.  That is a good point about it possibly ruining a friendship though.  It could also cause dissension among the other employees since they might think she favors you over them.  I do not envy you the choice you are faced with making.

ROFLMAO! The thing is I don't allow her to talk to me any way she feels. I give it right back. She doesn't do it too often,but when she's on her kick I want to slap the h3ll out of her.  :mad:

I'm pretty much the only person at work that won't let her bully them. I've cut her down on many occasions. I'm not a person that puts up with much.  :icon_twisted:

I told her one day that I was sick of how she talks to me and it wasn't going to keep happening. She just stood there like OMG you got nerve bioootch. Then I said so if you want to go ahead and fire me that's fine but I'm going to report everything you've ever said or done on my way out. She said oh no no no I was just having a bad day. Sorry about that. I walked off.

I think we must all three work for the same woman. She has two moods nasty and angry. Everyone was standing around talking about what a nice holiday we had. She's the only one who not only complained about her holiday, but bad mouthed her family at length. She makes judgment calls based on zero knowledge and when it blows up, she throws people under the bus. In fact, she flat out lies about the things she has tasked us with and claims that we "just didn't do it". I've called her on it several times, but it doesn't matter and it makes me a target for every task that she doesn't know how to do. I don't think I've ever worked with anyone that I don't like working with as much as her. Ever. I could handle her ugly attitude if she were just fair and/or honest.
