I have things pretty good. We already have enough money and benefits to retire now, but I enjoy the people and the kind of work I do. If either of those were to change then I would be out the door.

> I’m in the same boat, but I gave it a 3. I’ve got the possibility (however remote) for something better within the company, and unlike my previous job, I don’t have to deal with a lot of abuse. I genuinely like most of my co-workers and my boss is easy to get along with. But the work itself gets monotonous and I have to hit so many points in each call that some of them seem pointless. So let’s just say that I’m not in a huge hurry to leave, but if something better came along, I’d seriously consider it.

The coworkers and boss I have are really great. Not that I get to spend a lot of time chatting with them, of course.

My biggest beef is that the job has changed significantly for the worse since I started. Unfortunately, the rules are SO arbitrary and handed down from high. Even my boss’s boss regularly says, “Corporate’s tying my hands! Sorry, but…” Blugh!

I hate my job so much that I just quit - without having another job lined up. I felt I had no choice, it was literally killing me. Yes, it was that bad.
