Funny this thread, I’ve just come back from the loo’s after having a chat with one of my mates and feeling like doing exactly the same thing. In fact I thought “I’ll go on STW and start a thread on it and see if I can get you guys to talk me out of it.” COINCIDENCE!!
Reasons to quit:
– My lovely boss has been moved sideways and we have a the current non specialist proj manager type taking over the running of the show. Unsure how I am going to get on with him as a boss as so far as a colleague he has royally peeved me.
– I’ve been acting in a role for the last 7 months that, despite not wanting a pay rise, I have just asked for the paper recognition-ie a change in title, and have been turned down.
– They are vacillating as to whether to contract out my role anyway and are just using me to prepare the ground for the external agency to do my job. If I quit now they will find things difficult. Feels kinda evil but its somehow attractive.
– I have plenty of freelance work to be going on with.
– I have 3 potential (but not certain) irons in the fire
Reasons to stay
– I’m very well paid
– I love my colleagues, they are great fun to work with.
