You obviously should work for yourself and your family. etc.
My current work is pretty boring. I show up, put in an eight to ten hour day. My boss is unappreciative, but not a bad person in general. I go home. A few of the guys are alright to work with, but nobody I really will miss everyday, and the insurance just took a shit (surprised) I am a mechanical designer, basically have free use of the programs here to do side jobs for myself, which is nice. The company is small. About 9 people. I can change my hours around pretty easy here. It is also 5 minutes from home. I can wear jeans and a t-shirt everyday, blah blah. Pretty laid back. The work itself is not structured well, and quite frankly it is boring and I hate it. I applied for a job a while ago, and finally I get an offer today. It is at a large company. The offer right now was informal, so I don't have information on specific benefits and wage yet, but it is more than what I make now she said, and the company is really good to their employees from what I hear. This place is about 15 minutes away. polo and dress pants (I will have to go shopping). Clock in, clock out. etc. Why the fuck am I not happy about this? Well, I am basically going to fuck over this company for a while. We are over our heads in work right now, and the work isn't something you can teach in a week. It isn't a fun company to work for, but I guess I don't like the fact of making them late with million dollar orders. Another guy just left a week ago as well. On top of it, who knows if I will like the other place. I guess I am just thinking out loud trying to make myself not give a fuck about this company I work for and change my mood on the topic. |

Better to go and see what's it there. Don't stay where you are if you aren't happy with it just because it's convenient. Leave on good enough terms that you can run back if possible if you hate the new place worse. My thoughts on the matter. Don't worry. I hope to not leave in a blaze of glory. I might even mention to my boss now if I don't like it, I would like to be welcomed back. It can't hurt anyways. |

If you're thinking like that I see it could be two things,
1) you thought the grass would be greener but are starting to second guess that. Specially with the ability to easily change your schedule that is nice in itself, with being more slack in dress and closer by 10 minutes. Plus you have some form of integrity and don't want to eff over company #1 2) you're putting too much stress on the issue and making yourself second guess. If it is a good company that takes care of its workers there's no problem whatsoever. My wife was gonna apply for a new job before she got back from maternity leave. She second guessed and didn't, got back and was miserable for a spell. She ended up applying, but the pay hit was too much so she didn't take it. Worst that happens is you take it and find out the grass ain't greener, and you are stuck there which will suck. Best, you take it and its amazing. Or you stay and always think "what if?" |

It's not something I'd say on the way out, and as a former small business owner, it's not something I'd want to hear. I had an employee who quit and then came back, quit again and came back, and quit for a third time, all to take "better" jobs. When this person, who was a good employee, wanted to come back again, I said no, because you'll quit again, and I want to hire a permanent employee. |

Another designer here came back after a year or two, and I am sure it was a hard decision for my boss to make. I don't even really want to come back, and the only reason I would is for a stepping stone again. So, you are right. I will just leave peacefully. If I wanted to, I could probably offer to work part time. But I am so busy outside of work I don't really want to. I honestly think he would take me up on that, but again, I don't want to make the time. |
