The Wednesday Whinge
The Wednesday Whinge
For us all get anything off our chest, no matter how small. It's cathartic.
What's been needling you this week?
You're viewing a single thread.
Clients at work (same as most weeks to be honest) making stupid changes. I haven't enjoyed work for a while now, and have been thinking of finding something new.
Ah that sucks. I was in that place a while ago. Would you change companies or careers?
Company I think as I do enjoy the work I do, it's just made a lot more stressful with poor management and pain-in-the-arse clients. Ideally I'd like an in-house dev role, I've heard it's a lot less stressful.
Sounds like you’re in a coding type role. Mate the market is very bouyant for our skills right now. I am starting a new job on Monday where my pay has gone up significantly over my last one.
I definitely advocate for moving somewhere else if you’re in a position to. We spend so much of our lives at work just to be able to exist and one day look back and think…wow I spent so long being stressed / unhappy. I know not everyone has the luxury of being able to leave a job if they aren’t happy - been there myself, but if you can, go for it.
Best thing I ever did was leave the job I was unhappy with. Took me 2-3 years to finally do it, but was totally worth it in the end. It can be hard to take the plunge.
