I have been with my Company for 11 years...I finally got the Promotion I worked so long and hard for...But I was not given a NICKEL more in pay!!!!!!!!!! What is wrong with this picture? Needless to say I am looking for employment with a Company that will pay me what I am worth!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dread going to work every day. I wish I could speak the truth about what goes on there.

I have 8 out of 10. And bad management is the cause of it all.

"10 signs it's time to leave your job". Right...like there's another job to go to. Want an example of what it's like here? Here goes...
I stayed at my job (front desk at a small motel) even though we peons (there were 3 of us) didn't get sick days, holidays or vacation. In fact, if you called in sick, you were told if you didn't come in you would get fired. We were also threatened with being fired if we didn't do some of the motel work, such as making the bank deposits, off the clock so I called the labor board. They told me that was illegal, stay on the clock, and if I was fired to call them back. Well, I wasn't fired. Instead my hours were cut to between 11 and 20/week. Why didn't I leave? If I quit, I couldn't collect unemployment (the boss would fight it and no other employee would stand up to her). Also, there were no other jobs to go to and at least I was making a little money where I was. And when I say no other jobs, I mean nothing! When you go to the unemployment office and the board that lists jobs is blank, you know it's bad. There used to be quite a few jobs to pick from, but now there's nothing available because nobody is quitting. Move, you say? That takes money and I'm trying to save enough to do just that.
The good news is, I no longer work at that motel.
The bad news is, it's because the boss ran off with all the money, can't be found in order to file charges, and the motel closed. We all not only lost our jobs, we didn't get our last paycheck (2 weeks of pay). But I'm finally getting unemployment!

Great article! I used to have nightmares every night and then dread going to work the next day. I didn't change jobs though...I simply changed the way I thought about it. I adopted the idea that if I were to die tomorrow he would find someone to replace me. After I accepted that fact then I was able to leave my work stress at work.

I hate it when people won't get a lower paying job just because they are "used" to the higher pay. I was laid off when I was making over $80,000 a year. I took a job that paid about $46,000 a year. Unfortunatly I had a heart attack shortly after getting the new job and could not work that job any more even though I loved it. I looked for about two months but didn't find a job even at $30,000. But I did go get a job. I started doing security work at eleven dollars an hour. Got lots of overtime. Worked my way up until I got promoted to a supervisor position at $40,000 a year and was getting great reviews and a promise of another $300 a week on my next pay raise. So, it can be done if you just cut back on things you WANT and just buy things you NEED. I'm now retired and have no bills except rent, utilites, necessary insurances, and gas for my car if I want to go somewhere. I have NO credit cards. I paid them all off 7 years ago and I pay cash for everything or I don't buy it. Lay-a-way is great for anything I can't really afford on one monthly retirement payday. Look, really look at where you are and do something about it; right, wrong, or just different.

Being bored is never a good reason to leave a job, especially during these times. However I kinda agree with the "affecting your personal life" reason. These days companies want you to live at work: "must be flexible, must be willing to work holidays, nights, evenings and weekends" all for $ 8.50/hr. In other words, we want you to be our slave and when we say jump be sure to ask us "how high?". Companies have to to be willing to work with people, regardless of one's station in life. Children or no children, everyone has some sort of obligations in life outside of work. We all have families who need us and we all try to fit our schedules around helping one another out. Neither big businesses or small care about that. It's like they don't value the concept of family anymore

Great advice, I had most of this signs and yet it was hard for me to leave finally I was let go. I am unemployed now but I have enrolled in online classes for a degree and I am currently collecting unemployment benefits. I realized that my health comes first. I am happy,stress free and healthy. I'm making the necessary changes to succeed in life. I will never get in an unrewarding job situation again.

Who makes enough to pay their bills these days? My last 2 jobs paid the grocery bill. My mortgage and other expenses came out of my savings/IRA.

Its an employers market but they usually will get what they pay for. I'm changing jobs tomorrow. Its a sellers market if you've learned the right trade.

Been with my company for 12 years. Hired on in my mid 20's. It's not a great or ideal job but it pays my bills, maintainence for my car and a roof over my head and these things i am thankful for. But more and more I'm thinking i want to do something else. I've gone as far as i can go here, i'll never be lead or supervisor (not that i entirely *want those positions, but it'd be nice to know that i could have the option or opportunity.) . The branch of this company went from 90 associates from when i started, down to 23 including 3 temporary employees. we have 4 leads, 2 supervisors 1 operations manager and 1 DC manager. 8 management for less than 24 employees. that's over a 2 to 1 ratio. Corporate even demoted our HR rep to working in one of the other departments, so management handles HR stuff now.

The company as a whole seems to be doing well and i do get along with everyone there even with the "social hierarchy". There's one in every job. I try to refrain from offering ideas simply because they're either borrowed or someone else gets credit for them. I still continue to observe ways to improve things though, i just keep that to myself. Granted, everyone has someone to answer for, even management, so i cut them some slack. but it still doesn't appease that eagerness of wanting to learn more.

It's not a matter of entitlement or deserving anything. I just want for more opportunities. I've given 150% but i've only managed to keep my job and not make anymore headway into learning more about other aspects and fields and i cannot readily do so when there's no room for growth, especially in a streamlined 23 person roster.

I guess it boils down to taking that plunge or remaining stagnant. I do fear leaving the safety of a steady job for the uncertainty.... however that in no way diminishes the exhilaration and desire of learning something new.

I go through all of these in my job, can't find another though & I've been looking for 2 years! It's gotten so bad last year that I started getting random panic attacks from the stress. This is probably a sign that I'm better off going back to school to get a Masters degree.

1)Your skills aren't valued. 2)You're stuck in a dead end. 3) You've got unsolvable issues with management. 4)It's affecting your health. "c, I had told Craig & em I was gon kick it with them, gta go, c ya when I c ya"

I work 2 PT jobs. One at a Exxon station. 20 miles from home. Each way. $8 Hr. I also work for AAFES on a military base. Not making much more than that. No health insurance. Several of the signs above apply to me. Biggest being that I cant afford Heat in the apartment. And still can pay all the bills each month.

ahh, all of the above.

It took almost two years but I got out. I could have left earlier but I wanted to land a better job not just another job. It paid off.

I love my job and the people in it, but my manager has a way of just singling me out from the team. I've had thoughts of moving on to another job, but there is not many that provide the same money or benefits right now, and I have invested so many years in the company I feel I shouldn't be the one to move on maybe something just needs done about his behavior!
