Hot damn. It is insanely easy to get stuck in a half crappy job. When I was let go from my previous job in March and was picked up by the one I have now, it was only supposed to be for a little while. It was only supposed to be so that I can pay my rent and bills until I found a new job. My acquaintance that gave me this job knew about the situation.
When I tried to leave, my store gave me more money. They told me that they needed me. We all started to become friends and I felt obligated to stay. So I stayed.
I accepted my fairly ok/lousy pay, new connections, and that was that.
I've enjoyed the job security and structure of the operation at the cost of continuing my job search. That was probably my own fault.
I've been with the company for 6 months now. The store closed, we're doing everything online and over the phone, and my position of Manager-technician is now Manager-sales rep. I'm back working sales which is something I don't particularly enjoy. Although, I've made it well known of my intentions to leave and have been tirelessly scouring the internet for a new job, my boss still likes to include me in future plans.
To the random people that are reading this and are looking for jobs too, keep hope alive. My friend just landed a job and it took him 2 weeks to solidify it and he was without a job for quite a while. Fortunately he's in a totally different industry so it's not like we were going after the same job.
I think I'm gonna put up a random post on my xanga so go find it!
