New owners haven't inspired me to put in the hard yards for them, if anything, as many of us suspected, we've gone from being known by name by the owners to being known by a number by HR. Reports, corporate wank, all getting in the way of what I actually should be doing, staff cuts, classic corporate take over stuff. Hating it.

know the feeling well mate.

x3, I'm having my 3rd meeting in a fortnight with my GM today after spilling my guts a few weeks ago.

Yeah I get you mate. Im 14 years with the same organisation and four years at the current facility I manage. We have achieved a shitload in the four years but are now at a point where it looks like we have reached our ceiling especially given the population we are working with.

I really need that next challenge and the beauty of my job is I have the freedom to try and find it but with Covid and a much tighter budget to work within that is making it somewhat challenging. Similar to what you mentioned as well I have seen my role change significantly in the last couple of years including a lot more menial administration and reporting tasks.

When work gets us unmotivated we turn to SA Footy to get us through the day

I hear this. Have been with my company 13 years, the past 2 and a half in a new role where we started a new department and have built it from 4 staff to 30. Global got wind of our niche offering and have 'forced' us to merge with the global group which offers a similar (but inferior IMO) product. I've personally been involved in this before where globalisation of our group eventually resulted in all our positions being offshored and the writing is on the wall that it will inevitably go that way again. Motivation certainly dwindling.

My new boss, her title is "Senior Vice President of Customer Facing Systems".

Yeah?

Any scope for a meeting at Pirate Life for us to discuss new ideas for a a business we can all run together profitably, have fun and concur the world? Nah seriously also in the same grind, and also sick of the travel whilst having a couple toddlers. Energy zapping.

I Was in the same boat,13yrs in, the last 2 felt
Longer than the previous 11.

I’m feeling the same at the moment.
Same industry for 12 years, current employer for 6.
The owner just passed away and there is a power struggle about to go down.
Reached out to a recruiter that has head hunted me before to see what he has available. If something gets my interest I’m out

Wish you all the luck in the world finding the answer lads, can be a tough road to navigate. I know I'm not enjoying it.

I’m 14 years with current employer and 25 in the industry.
Last 3-4 years have been shit house with a new CEO and management.

Been looking at a career change in last 2 years but still haven’t worked out what I want to do.
Been to career expo’s and University open days etc but still have no idea of what I want to do next.

Why can’t it be easy!
