Today marks a mile stone in my life. I have managed in the last month and a half to find a new job. Today I called my boss in the morning and she was really much more gracious about me giving her my notice over the phone than I had expected.
Why am I changing Jobs?
1) Salary
It is my discovery that for being the next best thing to having an assistant branch manager at our location, that I do not make very much more for doing that. While my salary is supposed to be confidential, I did discuss it with a couple other co-workers as well as a couple other friends of mine at other banks who are in lower positions. The result of my survey is that I make about 50 - 70 cents an hour more than them. This to me is not adequate compensation for everything that I do/am responsible for.
2) Work Environment
I have not always had the most generous employment with the Bank.
3) Career Goals
It really was never in my career goals to be a banker.
4) Other Factors
Jerad wants to open a flower shop in spring and will need my help in the mornings and on weekends. My new job would allow for that.
To make it short........ They can take this job and shove it.
I am very, Very, very excited about my new job because I am taking a position which is actually a downgrade from my current one to make subtantially more money than I do new. I will be getting a pay increase of about $1.43/hr over what I make now.
The only regret I have is that I didn't go and apply with the new company last year. - Lesson Learned.
