I've certainly got some thinking to do, what I was sold in my interview for my new role isn't what I've ended up with.
Previously my manager was poor at people management and was moody at times to the point of dragging me down.
In my new role ( 6 months in ) my manager is poor at people management is moody and can drag you down with his style, he's a smart arse who has no idea how to manage people.
Both of them have an incredible level of technical acumen.
Previously I had great flexibility with my hours, my holidays, my autonomy in my role, holidays at Xmas, no out of hours work.
In my new role I'm micro managed to excess, I'm blocked out of taking leave from Nov-March and work every 6th Saturday as well as being on call that week 24/7. The extra money isn't going to change my life.
I needed to get away from my previous manager, 14 years in the same room and we needed a break. I've lost the work / life balance that I was once afforded and, to be blunt, prefer.
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
