Sure the pay was shit. The bullshit and drama was plentiful. The opportunity for advancement was quite minimal. Despite all of that, I'd die to go back there. I was online as much as I am now, but I wasn't afraid to visit any site or say anything that was on my mind. Here I'm scared to say things in case somebody does happen to monitor my activity that day. I'm scared to load up galleries and such in case there's somethign risque. I ended up trading freedom for money..... and really, right now, I'm not making any more money than I was before. You ever make a job move that seemed perfect at the time but later was probably a mistake?
Actually, I didn't "trade" anything. I was laid off and came here after so I guess it's a bit different. Still a downer.
nah, i go huntin all day. dont work anymore. just got a nine point buck yesterday. and ya know dood with the Chevy power, thats all you need. V8 5.0 BRAAAP BRAAAP!!
yeah...and I moved over 1,000 miles to take the job....and it turned out to be way more stress than at the job that I left... but I wouldn't take back anything because I ended up seeing most of the east coast....soooo....no regrets.... adam...what did you do at your old job? what do you do now?
My last job I was a telemarketer. This job I'm a phone sales agent. Same thing you say? Not at all. Telemarketers call out. We wait for people to call us. My last job was working for a dirty, dirty company though. They didn't care about shit because they paid good wage for the people they were looking for, but nowhere near competitive for most telemarketing agencies in the area. To put it frankly, even with these slow weeks, I will make more here as an agent this year, on less than 40 a week, than I made as a salary supervisor at my last company before we got laid off.
my current job is a lot more stressful than my old one, but the pay is so much better and i make my own schedule (to an extent anyway), so overall i'd say it's worth it
