This has been a very, very long winter for me! I was snowed-in for almost a week...and after that...it seems to rain almost every day. As soon as the sun peeks-out, everyone seems to run to the window like they have never seen sunlight before...pathetic. And besides that....the idiots that drive with studs on all 4 tires...in the rain....don't get me started.
Thank God it is spring! It's time for a new beginning...and time for me to find a new job. My 8 years are up!
Leaving a job isn't a crime. But many workers feel incredibly guilty about it and will even put off telling their boss, which actually makes it worse if it means your boss has less notice than he or she would otherwise have. The big thing to know is that you don't owe anyone an excuse or an apology for leaving. People leave jobs all the time -- it's normal. Any boss who isn't crazy knows its part of doing business. Simply be straightforward and professional about it, and you'll likely be surprised at how smoothly it will go....more to come.
WITH TODAY'S sluggish economy, most people who are employed can't help but breathe a little sigh of relief that they have a job--even if they don't really like it. Human nature is to retreat to the trenches in times of uncertainty, and those who would like to make a job change are left wondering whether it is safe to poke their heads out and take a look around.
The good news is that, despite the economic slowdown, it's still an "employees' market" in much of the U.S., with a significant labor shortage in many parts of the country. For example, a survey by the Connecticut Business and Industry Association and Andersen Consulting found that 75% of small and midsize businesses that responded are having trouble filling vacancies because of the shortage of qualified workers.
More to come....
