To some of you, that's not a long time at a job. For me it's enough.
I have worked hard for two and a half years, only to find that the new people are making right off the bat what I now make after two and a half years.
I'm tired of being overlooked and underappreciated. I'm tired of being overworked and virtually unnoticed.
They say they need me. They say I do a good job. Sure, what I don't important for where I work, but after three months with only one full weekend that I had to request off, I have had enough. I burned out weeks ago. I'm running on fumes now, if not completely empty.
Job market looks like it has much greener grass than it used to. I think I'll try my luck there and see what I can do.
Yeah, this sounds like whining. In a sense, it is. But I have a right to be able to take care of myself, and it sure isn't going to happen where I am. It's time to move on to bigger and better things.
