The people who love their job or getting paid with their hobby or passion are the most blessed people indeed. I just can count with my fingers my friends who are enjoying their work. Not all of us are lucky to work in a place we love so dearly or we enjoy... But how do you know if leaving is your best option to take?
I never like my job but since it pays well I'm still sticking to it. I have thought of leaving but not quite decided yet. Is the financial aspect a good reason to change your career?

..yeah.. indeed there are considerations why we still stick to our job even if we are not already happy.. Just like me, I really really wanted to look for other jobs.. however, my present job pays well.. But I want a working environment where I could feel comfortable.. That's why I am considering to look for other sidelines so that if I transfer to another job, then at least I have other sources of income since in our area, the company I'm working is one of the top paying institutions.. The thing is, I don't like the management and I am not happy anymore.. I told myself that what is the use of working when I don't get to enjoy being in the institution.. I do love my work because this is my passion already but I don't like really the environment and as I've said, the management.. Biases and being subjective is very evident..

Same thing here...I used to love working here because of the people i work with but no they are the same reason why I'm no longer happy here. I have met a few great people but they can't stand working here for too long and so they left. Leaving me alone to rot here i guess...

I guess... happiness is the main reason why you have to stay in a company. If yo think t is okay that you stay because you know that even there is no growth for your career there.. you still ave the urge to go to work each morning because you love who you work with.. but if you are not happy with the people.. ost probably there will be no career growth for you.. then you have to leave.

My job is OK, I don't hate my job, but sometimes just feel boring about my job, it seems like I do the same thing everyday, and no passion is job, but if there is an opportunity with high salary or good develop for my career, I think I will change my job, the only reason I still sicking to it it that my work place is really a good place to practice English.

Good for you...you still have reason to grow there because not only that it helps you pay the bills its also helping you learn things you want to know
