Take this job...

I try not to complain about work too much because for the most part my job is great and really, it's better to think positive, right? Negative thoughts and energy just bring a person down. Sometimes though, it feels like my efforts are majorly under-appreciated. I learned a long time ago that you are the only one who has your best interests at heart when it comes to the workplace. The company's concern is the bottom line and that's pretty much it! My boss is great at protecting me from most of the BS that comes with this job but she can only do so much for our little department of 2.

My workplace has seen a lot of changes in the past couple years and morale is down all over the company. Sad but true. A lot of it has to do with leadership. And quite a few of us fantasize about leaving to do other things - some have already started to make that leap! I need to stick around for a while because of maternity leave and insurance issues, but a recent event has really pushed me over the edge. It's so frustrating to give your all to a company and make sacrifices, and then be taken advantage of. I'm just so over it.
