I have not been in the job market for too long. Including my current job, I have only worked at 3 places. I enjoyed the last 2, and am still enjoying this one.
But past few months, hasn't been too good. My morale has been low, people are exhausted, frustrated... and for the very first time since I joined this place more than 2 years ago, people (including myself) are thinking and even talking about leaving , openly. Honestly, I am tired of this negativity that is going around this place. All these anger is killing me. I too... want a new job. I need some new air... fresh air.
An ex-colleague, when listening to us mumbling about how bad the situation is at work.... bluntly said that we should be greatful that we still have a job. Which I always forgot to do. That kind of hit me in the head and got me thinking, that yes, I still have a job. Why the hell am I complaining about how bad my day went at work, how underpaid I am, how the world is going against me, when there are thousands of people out there still struggling to find a job that could feed their family of 4 or 5 or 6 even!
Shame on me. And I must say, that my obsession with this whole job perfection has, to a certain extent made me a little selfish. More often than not, a little thought about others will help us realise how lucky we are.
Well, I still need new air. But until the day comes, I shall just hang on, and be greatful that I have this job.
