Time to change jobs

June 4th, 2006 at 04:09 am

I was just reading a blog by Money Talk$ and it inspired me to add this entry to MY blog. I work at a retail store right now. Lately I'm becoming more disenchanted with my job. Good points;

The people I work with are great. Everyone, from the store manager to the newest employees, work hard. We all pitch in to get the job done and I enjoy what I do for the most part.

We are recognized for our hard work. Verbally and in writing, as well as free food items and meals at least several times a month for everyone.

We work hard at giving the customers a good impression and are successful in doing so. Our feedback scores are the best in the district.

With that being said, I'm ready to job-hunt again now.

I'm not being paid what I'm worth, and it is hard work. The paychecks aren't great. I'm doing OK, but I could be doing a lot better!

Now that I've learned what I need to know boredom has set in. The learning process was challenging and exciting, but I'm confident in what to do now. No challenge. (Yawn)

Anyhow, one of the things that's been bothering me the most probably wouldn't even occur to most people.

We are encouraged every day to talk customers into applying for the store credit card. By the time I left today nine people had applied for the card. When there are meetings at work to congratulate us on our progress, I always feel like cringing. I don't like to celebrate the fact that people are going into debt.

Sometimes when extra help is needed, I help check people out. I can't tell you how many talk about hiding their purchases from their husbands because they overspent. People spend $200-$300 and more easily, charge it, and talk about getting home first so their husband won't notice. Most of the time it's decorative items for the house.

Anyhow, it helps keep me on track in a strange way. I can't very well disagree with something but do the same thing myself. Seeing this stuff happen every day gives me the motivation to not give in to temptation.

    Wow! That is kind of a moral dilemma. How is the job market in your area? Is there something in paticular with a particular price range you are looking for?
