Was this written by somebody who was hoping to fill one of the vacancies? Or maybe who has a kid looking for a job in finance?

I want to leave mindless job of endless, payless interviews and get paid to do mind numbing tasks!

1. Your keycard no longer works.

2. Your corporate email is not working.

3. Your nameplate is missing from your office.

4. The receptionist immediately picks up of the phone when you arrive to work and talks in hush tones.

5. Your coworkers keep asking “Are you still here, I heard a rumor that-”

When I worked for one bad boss, I got sick quite a bit. The relief was leaving him for a different position. If vacation time was approved, the approval never came until a couple of days before and no earlier ! A year after I left him, I took three weeks to New Zealand. The last month working for him got very bad where if I left my desk for more than several minutes, I had to let him know where I going and doing !

> 4. You’re starting to get stomach cramps, among other psychosomatic afflictions.

I worked in high-stress financial firms. The pay was good, the hours sucked. I stayed long enough to get the money to pay off my mortgage. Now I'm working at a much more laid-back place.

If you're young, working finance is just the thing to get you a nice nest-egg for what you'll do next.

“Former Goldman Sachs banker Antonio Garcia-Martinez makes an eloquent argument for why you shouldn’t work just for the big January bonus check.”

“Yeah,” Antonio said, “If you hang in there long enough, and if the government whose takeover you helped to finance considers you Too Big To Fail, you may get a REALLY HUGE bonus, COMPLIMENTS OF THE US TAXPAYER.”

Honest to G*d. You can’t make up the arrogance of these greedy bastards.

Signs it's time to turn your adopted country back over to a patriotic American:
1. You've been spending so much time at work, it's starting to show negatively in the pictures your subjects draw of you.
2. They've been holding back from voicing their grievances.
3. You have no clue where the country is headed.
4. Your people are starting to get stomach cramps, among other psychosomatic afflictions.
5. They're starting to realize you can't do better.
6. Your friends and loved ones gently propose that you switch fields altogether.
7. You're putting up with it just for the power.
8. Your hobbies and interests are frequently endulged, but for everyone else recreation is a faint memory.
9. You're nowhere close to doing the things they thought you got into the job for in the first place.
10. You're creating expenses that no one is benefiting from.


Time to forward this to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The secretary, er - the administrative assistant, you have been hitting on is threatening to file an harassment complaint.

Your new boss is gay.

The office betting pool is run by a shark.

The company bowling team sucks.

Office parties are held at a church.

Just a few truly legitimate reasons to be looking elsewhere.

Ten signs it’s time to leave your job:

1. Your wife takes the kids on vacation to Spain and you don’t get to go.

2. You’d like to play golf more but people are starting to complain about it.

3. The food at work is OK, but you’d really rather go out for a cheeseburger.

4. You didn’t think you’d have to quit smoking, but there’s just no way to sneak out to light up.

5. The woman who wanted your job is still mad that she didn’t get it, and deep down you just know she’s plotting something.

6. You really don’t know what you’re doing.

7. Everybody is starting to figure out that the guy who had your job before you was waaaay better at it than you.

8. The guy they got to stand in for you when your out is a real joke.

9. Your boss has already decided to fire you and is just waiting for the right time to come, and you know that will happen in a couple of years.

10. If they find out that you are an illegal immigrant you could get in real trouble.
