Stuck

[boots]

Do you feel that you are stuck in a dead-end job? Do you feel there is no room for advancement at your particular location?

No.

Do you feel that you are stuck in a dead-end job? Do you feel there is no room for advancement at your particular location?

Perhaps.

 

[lono]

I'm not looking for advancement, so it's a moot point.

 

[hockeybeat]

I did. Not anymore.

 

[Write-brained]

Are you ****ing working for Cosmo, Boots? How much do you get paid for all of these polls of yours and do they know you're getting all of your info from a sports journalists message board?

I definitely did at my last shop. But it was more than just not seeing room for advancement at that paper. I felt like there wasn't much flexibility in the field, so I went back to school.

 

[TyWebb]

Just got to my new shop, but I think there a few steps up the ladder I can take. Whether I want to or not....

 

[MonitorLizard]

Yup. That's why I'm quitting next week.

 

[HejiraHenry]

Actually, at the current spot I have the serenity of knowing I have options.

I choose to do the thing I'm doing, which may some evidence of insanity.

 

[2underpar]

I would like to take a step back, minus the pay cut, however. and I can attest to hejirahenry's insanity.

 

[HejiraHenry]

I would like to take a step back, minus the pay cut, however.

I tried that, minus the "minus the pay cut" part.

 

[Nathan Scott Phillips]

Yes. And even if I could advance at my current spot, the pay would still be ****.

 

[PaperDoll]

Absolutely. But I don't want to move very far away, so I suppose I choose to be stuck here. :-\

Also, I'm not living in fear of layoffs like some of my colleagues at much larger, nearby papers are. I suppose that's worth something.

 

[Mystery_Meat]

I feel stuck. Mostly good people here, but I miss being at a daily. I guess if I had to play out my career here it'd be okay, just really unfufilling.

 

[sportschick]

No. Not so much because I can move up easily here, but because this is a great paper and it's helping me improve my skills to the point that if I want to move up to a really big paper in a couple years, I'll be able to. Course I love my boss and this city to the point that I doubt I'll leave.

 

[DanOregon]

Stick with it Bud! Hang it there. They'll be laying you off or offering you a buy out soon enough.

 

[novelist_wannabe]

Do you feel a burning sensation when you urinate?

 

[chazp]

Absolutely. But I don't want to move very far away, so I suppose I choose to be stuck here. :-\

Worth something? That's worth a hell of a lot!

Now that you mention it ...
