Quit soul-sucking job ASAP? - Page 2

You sound like me 2 years ago. I quit, only because an old friend offered me a position immediately. But that position was also completely opposite of what I would like to do. I am only now getting out of this and into a job that somewhat goes my direction.

There is no moral to my post. Just saying shit sucks.

If, as you say, you had nothing to do last week at work, I don't see what the problem is.

Are you serious?

Yes.

The 'studies' must based on a very slim caveat of people looking for work in the same industry and in a similar type of position. Switch industries and / or postions and the concept seems to go out the window... especially in this economy. Do have urls the studies?

You should have spent the time working on your resume and searching for new work.

even then, it sucks.

can't tell if you're trolling or just inexperienced, but this same topic was in the news in the past week.



perhaps so, but at least you could be doing something with your time that at least seems fulfilling. who am i trying to fool though, work sucks. i need to hatch a get-rich-quick scheme.

I disagree entirely with the bolded. Many people of value were laid off and have had trouble finding work because stupid people believe such nonsensical things like the bolded.

The shit I hear coming out of HR makes me want to smack them. Finding good candidates is nearly impossible right now because of all of HRs little rules excluding everyone.

Everyone is valuable, but not everyone is essential. Don't kill the messanger.

It is also my perception that work is easier to find when you are already employed.

Here's what I did.

I'm still employed at the soul sucker, but I partnered up with some people to open up a buy/sell/trade ("recycled fashion") store on the side as a fun and rewarding project.

Moral of the story?

Win the lottery.

pretty much.... the grass is brown on both sides.

This.


No. Not everyone is valuable and even 'essential' positions have been eliminated and the work redistributed among other workers.

Then the position wasn't "essential".
