I've not really been 'happy' with work for a while now. It and I have a bit of a love-hate relationship.
I really enjoy the people I work with, the office atmosphere and the idea of the job that I do.
But in reality I'm not allowed to make decisions and any responsibility I am given gets checked a million times. It's very frustrating.
At the same time, customer services is undergoing a huge organisational change.
My job won't change except a tiny weeny bit.
But essentially everything else will.
My boss who is just the boss of me and another man will become the boss for the whole team, which I personally think is the biggest mistake they can make because he is awful.
Then, I've been pushing for promotion for the last few months. It works wierdly in our company becuase you cannot get promotion in a current job. You essentially get promoted into a new role.
I really want to reach the next level because I know I'm already working to it but here's the tough part. The new structure opens up a promotion in our team. But in Logistics.
Logistics would be quite interesting and I think I'd like the role but it would be boss' work that I would be taking on and I know for a fact he'll constantly be telling me I'm doing it wrong or 'that's not how he did it'.
So I've spent the last week quite confused.
To make matters worse I put my CV up on Monster this week. More hoping that no-one would pay attention to it and it would make me stay at P&G.
But I had an email yesterday from an agency in London wanting me to apply for a job they had.
It sounds PERFECT.
It's a pharmaceutical company and I'd get to use my German, do a bit of customer facing work, work on projects.
The salary is much better than I am on now (at least £5k more) and after 3 months each employee gets up to 25% bonuses.
The problem?
It's in Weybridge, just outside London.
I asked them to pass my CV on anyway. I probably won't even get an interview but on the other hand, this might be my dream job.
