I'm very disappointed my preferred job hasn't got back to me. I am so ready to quit my current job, im already working as though my time is limited here. I was soooo clocked out this afternoon I did almost nothing. I feel like submitting my 30 days with nothing lined up but that's a horrible idea.
I'm currently responsible for a 'pod' normally maintained by three or four people by myself... Basically responsible for the work of three or four people. My clients are getting shit care and it sucks
I came back to work on the 2nd of January only to be told my contract was being terminated.
You've probably seen me post here often about the trials and tribulations I've been through looking for work.
Of course, our circumstances are quite different, but let me be an example of what happens when you don't have a job to jump to.
I really hope something comes through soon that's at least marginally better than your current place. Staying somewhere well past your personal use-by date is very taxing on the soul and the resentment/disconnect can spill over onto others and exacerbate matters.
I don't know what your industry or financial situation is like, but do you think it might ever get to a point where it's better to just cut ties and stop the rot from setting in any further, even without another job in hand?... I was getting a bit antsy with job hunting after 2.5 months but I don't regret for a second leaving my old job when I did and taking the hit to my savings, being able to hold out for a good position really made all the difference
