| I have worked with folks who weren't happy with their job. And I've quit a few jobs I had because I wasn't valued there. But it wasn't because the work was unfulfilling. I've never really given that any thought because I was working to earn money and agreed to do what they needed done. I have worked at a couple places where someone with a much higher pay grade quit and I was asked to take over their position but not offered a raise in pay. I quit on the spot when that happened. I have never felt anything close to regret over that. But I have known friends over the years who have. They had a sweet gig at a great company and they didn't really realize how good they had it until afterwards. I tried to talk a few of them out of that who, after they quit, came back and told me they regretted not listening to me. Personally, I have had a pretty hectic, but also "rewarding", life. I'm 63 now and just getting by. Others I know who got and stuck it out working for a company that paid them well are doing much better. Don't get me wrong, I have no regrets. I'll just say that if you have it pretty good, ride that for as long as you can cause shit happens. |
