I’m not a quitter.
We’ll that’s not exactly true. I have quit jobs in the past. In fact, I’m that
guy who was in the meeting with the bosses who stood up and said, “F*ck it. I
quit”. And walked out, to my desk, got my stuff and left. I was super happy to
leave that awful job. I had tried my hardest to do the best I could in a
field I hated. But, when push comes to shove, you have to do the things that
make you happy.
Working at my
current employer has reached that very same level of unhappiness and
frustration, however I’m older and have more financial responsibilities than
those old walk out of work days. So I just can’t up and leave like I really
want to. I am very close to doing it though. I have been berated, insulted, criticized,
belittled, humiliated and robbed of any pride a person should have with their
work. So this is a plea to my readers and my friends…
Anybody need a
creative type of guy in their organization? I’m capable of working
independently and I’m always willing to explore new and interesting ways of
doing things. As long as they are reasonable, of course. I’m not saying I want
to sell magazine subscriptions in Tanzania or something like that, but just a
regular job, 9-5 thing where the pay is decent and the people are nice and no
one is threatening to fire you because their perception of you is not the best.
I am a hard worker,
believe it or not. When I know what I’m doing and can see the full outcome, I
give the job my everything. I usually work so hard and fast on it that I’m done
before everyone else. I like to work. I know that seems hard to believe but I
really do. I like that sense of purpose a job can give.
With 100%
seriousness, I need a new job. So if anybody out there knows of something,
please let me know. Thank you.
