    Dude you need change. If your that unhappy frank and honest investigation in to your performance and the performance of both your employer and boss is needed. If something can change to remedy the situation then all good, if not its time to move on.

    Oh yeah,

    And you work until at least 7:30pm every night for three months on the Gentleman's agreement that the company will pay you overtime. Then the overtime payment amounts to a $20 Westfield voucher (Mmm, just the one). By coincidence, this happens the day before you stop working overtime.

    Or, your company goes down the path of hiring some assistance for you and backs out at the last second (because the global policy now is "critical hiring only" and then start bitching at you because you have 8 weeks of accrued annual leave. When you point out that there is no cover for you (and therefore you can't take leave), you get looked at like you have just asked for golden moonrock and an octopus tentacle.

    Sometimes you have to kill something thats beautiful

    Job is one of the most dangerous in NZ

    You know more ex workers out because of injury than you know who are still doing it.

    Wouldnt swap it for the world.

    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    My job doesn't suck (but I do). However, what does suck is our successful NZ-owned company was taken over by a multinational Mrkn-based one. This was supposed to make no difference to operations or anything else, but we are now subject to their rules and ways of doing things. The latest is that we had our very best financial year EVER, with record profits that exceeded budgets, and because of Mrka's shit economy there is a freeze on all salaries, company wide. Yes, I know there are a lot of people struggling, out of work, etc etc., and I feel for them. However, it's quite disheartening knowing your company is doing very very well and yet there are no rewards being passed onto the people who made it happen.
    But it's OK: the company made up for the wage freeze by bombarding us with email messages congratulating us on our excellent performance and record profits!
    Woohoo!

    Meanwhile, the company spends up large on buying up other companies to expand into Yurp and further increase our profitability. So there is some investment occurring...
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    You can bet the senior executive team (CEO, CFO, etc) will have bonus packages tied to their salaries. Its only the drones that suffer.

    I know of at least two other co's which had exactly that happen.

    I love my job.

    We get extremely well looked after - they actually believe that people are the companies best asset and go way above and beyond in looking after us.

    Great working conditions - all the kit you need to get the job done. Brilliant training, and you get recognized for the work you do (and compensated when you go above and beyond) in whatever way they can (bonuses, giving long weekends, hiring out gold class, flowers for the wife's / girlfriends when teams have to work in a weekend) etc etc etc.

    oh and we get paid well.

    I was offered ax extra 30k per year to work in Brisbane with a company car and motorbike, and a free 3 bedroom corporate home fully furnished and fitted out. Yet - I wouldn't move from here.

    Its a pity more companys cant be like ours.

    I concur with this... I quit my full time job end of last year - I was over it - great job - I had just done it for long enough and I had some other stuff going on

    If you can't get out when your drive and creativity has run dry then you spoil it for everyone for whom that hasn't happened

    I've worked for a lot of companies where that happens - people hang on afraid to leave - and it's brutal...
