Who Gives A Crap? Job change?
I've been feeling a little underwhelmed with my current job.
My job has plenty of advantages;
- I get paid ok
- I can come and go as I please.
- The commute to work is ok. Around 40mins each way.
- I can keep my ants in my office.
- I have an ok group of staff. Just a small team of 3.5 people (one person works part time)
- 80% of the people in the office are ok. 2 people are quite toxic. But are quite cowardly, where most of their whining is done in the shadows.
- I have a variety of responsibilities.
The disadvantages;
- I'm a little bored of the work. I don't get the same buzz like I used to.
- There is no career progression.
- The head office, which is overseas, use our office as a cashcow, minimal investment and scooping profits back overseas.
- The computer systems are backward and the move to use SAP doesn't seem to add any significant upgrade.
The man in the YouTube video has a company.
Today, I saw that they have a job vacancy.
I like the fact that they are doing good things.
Simon Griffiths seems to have a great vision. But the product scope seems limited.
I might just pop in to their office and see what they're like.
Get a feel for the place; the vibe.
What am I looking for?
- Somewhere I feel valued.
- A share of ownership.
- Ability to flex my intovert/ extrovert nature.
- Reasonable income.
- Flexible hours.
- Ability to work in more than one discipline.
- Work for a grouo with a positive vision.
- Make a difference.
I'm not sure what I want. At worst, I will give the toilet paper a go and I love puns.
But, hey, this is a blog!
I'm @jagged
