    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.

          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

            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.

        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?
