the 8th month itch

June 8th, 2020 at 10:29 pm

My temp assignments if they are long term at least are set to expire after 9 months. I always seem to get a 8th month itch of going back and forth in trying to see IF I want to stay.

My question for all those out there what helps you make up your mind?

When you get a new job how long is it before you decide ... this is not for me or i will stay until something better comes along etc.

What are other criteria you consider... company/ schedule/ commute ?

I believe too many are in their words "stuck in some job" because they simply quit looking for something better or they would be happier at... because of pattern or convenience.

I know one can basically leave any job with simple notice so why even think long term... but I simply do NOT see myself there in long term.

Most times i can force myself to meet the contract obligation but when i look around in the office i cannot see myself year after year here. The money is very good but i have zero give a crap about what i am doing or even doing a good job.

    I make a list of positives and negatives and consider how important each one is to me. Interestingly one of my heavily weighted positives for my current job has been the work-at-home arrangement. Perhaps that won't be so unique going forward, opening my mind to other possibilities.
