Work decisions Friday, March 25, 2011

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.

Wow, that job sounds like it would suit you down to the ground, and thats great they asked you to apply! Its got your name on it, definitely go for it, you don't have to say yes at this stage. [Kirstie] 3/25/2011 6:38:38 AM
Would you be willing to relocate if they offered you a relocation package?
I think it would be a great opportunity for you, fresh start and new surroundings. I think it will be really positive for you xx [Bee~Charmer]

Weybridge is lovely! (I only live about twenty minutes away) In some ways it sounds like a change of scene could be just what you need. x [Geekette] 3/25/2011 2:51:38 PM
You should def apply for stuff. I hte when a job gets to the love hate stage :( [Chameleon.] 3/28/2011 2:42:45 PM
Eek! I've been awful at noting, sorry. It sucks that getting promoter inside your company is so hard. I'm not surprised that you would look elsewhere, too. If that job you're applying for works out you should definitely go for it. Might not be bad to move to London :) xx [.cristina.] 4/1/2011 7:10:48 AM
