Bang Bang Boogie Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Is it because Jennifer Aniston keeps sexually harassing you? Because if so, I don't really see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Broke The Cup Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Sounds a bit like your trying to run away from your problems. As erkayoolma pointed out you will run into difficult people no matter where you move and learning to deal with them will serve you better in the long run. I agree with Moneypuck finding another job paying similar wages with the education you have will be very difficult. Does your employer provide some kind dispute resolution? I would check on what your options are with your employer before leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Habitat Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 ^ agreed fully. You make 50 k a year at 22. Pretty damn rare. You're lucky. Hold on to it. I have worked my way thru awful co workers for a few years.. But it's paying off now. Will be getting a promotion next month where I will be their boss.

Bertuzzi Babe Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I mean to be nice when I tell you that you need to take a look at why you are letting other people (regardless of what they are like) hav e this sort of impact on you. Im 48 and in every job I have ever worked at the there were people who were dicks to be around and work with. I have had my own company for 22 yrs now and also have certain clients that are really difficult. I used to let people like that stress me out, make me feel bad and even let them get me depressed. Long term it resulted in anxiety and chronic stress. I got some help and learned that dealing with the problem was not by trying to change my surroundings but to change how I dealt with these people/situations. No matter where you go you will have people like this. Its you that needs to change not your surroundings. Stay in the job you have and go see someone to help you deal with these people and your emotions in an appropriate fashion. Good luck with it. You are still young and kudos to you for asking for help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Broke The Cup Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 There is also such a thing as a poisonous work environment and nobody, I don't care who they are, should have to tolerate such a thing. Sometimes the $50K/year is just not worth the toll that environment takes on you in other ways, and the OP has quite clearly stated that it IS taking a big toll. I would opt for the transfer, OP.......there is way more to life than a big paycheque, and at 22, you have so many options and a very long life ahead of you. To shorten that life span due to a situation that is intolerable is silly. You can go back to school, try something else, change job locations..........you are very fortunate to have so many options available to you!! Good luck and very best wishes whichever choice you make! Just make the right one for YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckGAME Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Thanks so much for some of the feedback it has actually really helped me, I will stay with the job, I am still going to try for a transfer as kelowna is where I would like to be, but thanks for the suggestions guys I am happy o asked here as it made me look at things differently, I'm going to take a different approach to things as I let my emotions get the best of me quite often. Thanks again guys I didn't think it would help much to ask here but it truly did. P.s. no I am not a homosexual like one poster suggested lol, and once again the spelling mistakes are due to my phone I'm trying to get used to this touchscreen and its quite annoying to type on!

ccc44 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 The advice/suggestions I'm providing is free, so please take it for what it is worth... It's been my experience that it is always easier to find another job when you have one. So, go find a recruiting company, and meet with a recruiter so that they can assess your skills/experience/etc. and they will try to match you with a job that is a fit for you and the hiring company. In addition to getting your Cirruculum Vitae (i.e., resume) in order and speaking about your skills, experiences, successes, failures, etc., make sure you let the recruiters know what your life situation is and what your long term goals are. Once this is done, the recruiting firm will do their best to find you interviews for jobs. You can find a fairly comprehensive list of recruiters by doing a google search under "recruiters". The recruiting firms will not charge you any money -- they make their money from companies that have hired them to find them good candidates (a good recruiting firm for your situation is Searchwest). Regardless of where it's posted on the Forums and in the spirit of honoring Rick Rypien and the Canucks Mindcheck Program, good on you to reach out and ask for suggestions to members of the Forum. One final suggestion. Do your best to not make any decisions based on your stress level or emotional state...take a week or two of holidays and take a hard look at your situation to make the best decision for yourself. Sort of like what MG and Canucks management have done since their elimination from the playoffs...you need to detach yourself from the emotions to make good decisions. Lastly, I wish you all the best...I know these are difficult decisions to make. I hope I've been able to help in some small way. All the best. Peace out.

Westcoasting Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 LOL, hilarious. You do realize what the average salary of a Canadian is right? Let alone an American?

-Goose- Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Anyone saying 50k 'isn't' much is on some next level crap. Seriously. He's got nobody to support but himself and 50k is enough to live comfortably in that situation. OP: Keep that job. If anything ask for a transfer within the company.

Ghostsof1915 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Most people at 22 don't make $50k per year, especially without a college or university education. Another option is see if the company will give you leave to go to school, and you can work in the summer months for the same company. That way you've got a fall back. Make sure you do something you love, you'll be happier for it. Other option is request a transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHL Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hey guys, I have been at my job now 2 years, I'm a sales person for a potatoe chip company that I won't name, the pay is excellent, 50,000 a year, The hours are extremely long but I really enjoy it, well I sort of enjoy the work but everything else is horrible I'm not going to get into why I want to leave it has to do with personal conflict with a couple of employees that just brings me down and makes my life a living hell, I'm so stressed out I haven't been this stressed in my life, like its to the point where I'm starting to slip into a depression and don't even have any drive left inside me for life, I almost want to give up, I want a fresh start in life, I am trying to move to kelowna, and I'm unsure if I should apply for a transfer and stay with this company or if I should try something different, I have a mortgage and plan on selling my home and buying another in kelowna, I am 22 years old, with only a grade 12 education, So the advice I'm hoping for is, I was wondering what jobs are out there where I can jump in and make 1200-1600 every 2 weeks?? In kelowna to boot, I am willing to go to school again but only if its say a 1 year course and I can jump right into a career, because I have major bills to pay and as it stands right now I am doing well financially in life I just feel like I'm selling my soul and happiness for money Is there any sort of careers out there that will pay me as well as I am being payed now? Im willing to try anything but any suggestions at all help thanks so much Sorry if there are lots of spelling mistakes I'm writing this all on my phone haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
