I live in the Netherlands and have been working for my employer for 2 years. I work in logistics and supply chain, but the actual work I do I feel could easily be done by a kid. Sure, the pay is decent – but I am mentally exhausted by the repetitive and manual tasks.
My manager is a really nice lady and my colleagues are fun, but the company just announced they won’t be giving any raises for inflation this year and our “Christmas gift” last year was an ugly jacket with the company logo. I just had my first interview for a different position in sustainability (my core interest) but even so potentially leaving my work friends behind feels like betrayal? I know it’s not true but it’s amazing how close you can become to people you work with and it actually makes me wonder if in my next position, I should cease to make friends all together.
