Gerritt Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 After hearing your job title I still have absolutely no clue what it is you actually do. you might manage people????... but what else? gonna be hard to change your career when all you say is you manage people, I manage cows, not milk production, not butter consumption, not analysis on weather or not the white farmer rappers doing the milk commercials are increasing revenues and profits.. I just manage cows...... am I qualified to manage the TSX? because I manage cows? understand my point? "Want Milk?, Drink Milk..." Gerritt.

Clampet Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Be careful what you wish fer! Many people are in jobs they hate. Very few enjoy their work. Just when you beleive you got the worst job, there's someone who would trade places with you. Sometimes it's the people, that make your time at work miserable. Those people you are seeking to escape, have an uncanny manner of reappearing at the next job with different faces, but the same toxic character. What it takes is better attitude management, sometimes. Otherwise, you may wind up repeating the same dumb mistakes over and over searching fer that perfect fit, while the troublemakers get to keep their jobs and make their mortgage and SUV, and Boat and.....

lilkynan Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks clamp it - very true statement - but when you work for an american who was sent here as a penalty, and then they move you, and then lay off 140 of 150 people, and then he blames you for his bad choices, ......... you hafta wonder. For the past 8 months since moving I have kept my head tall and my honest. But - it is time ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 HH where are you? If you aren't happy then it's time to move on, just make sure you have somewhere to go before you walk away. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holdfast Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Sounds like you're looking for adventure. Join the Canadian Military. Try it, if you have a degree, go Officer. Whats a few years of your Life. There is no age restriction and if you don't like it there are ways of getting out before your first contract ends. Military don't want people that don't want to be there. You can try it or you can kick yourself later in years for not trying. Your boss will be that grizzled experienced Snr NCO or Officer. Not someone that your trying to make it rich so he can buy his spoiled kid a jaguar for its 16th birthday. You ll learn to love your men and them you. But really, sounds not like your piece of cake.

lew Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 As the old saying goes " Those who enjoy their job never truly work a day in their lives." Absolutely true, start off doing something that you enjoy the 1st time and your entire career will be enjoyable. I spent 32 years doing what I liked and never once ever regretted a single day on the job. Of course I'm liking retirement a whole bunch more though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
