I just got my dream job but terrible working conditions.
I won't go into details, but the I'm not sure I can buck-up and tolerate it.
What to do?
If I complain I'll be labeled a troublemaker from day one, but if I don't I'll have to put up with it for years!
Help!
Thanks
It might help to have more specifics, even “vague” ones...
One ploy might be to use it as a stepping stone to a similar job but with better conditions. Another might be to try to work within the system for better conditions. Without more details it’s really difficult to tell.
Suck it up for a year...keep your mouth shut and keep your head down. After a year look for another gig and walk away.
No more details than that, eh?
There’s a scripture, and I’ll try to find it, that says do everything you do as if you are doing it for Christ. I think about it often in my job when I have to deal with something that I would really prefer not to be dealing with.
I loved working in a sawmill despite the terrible working conditions.
Are you saying you are working in the field you want, but the shop sucks?
>> I won’t go into details
Really? What a waste of our time.
Unless all you want is a simplistic answer like “quit” or “suck it up”, you at least need to explain how it can be “terrible working conditions” while at the same time “a dream job”.
So what you’re saying, really, is you’re working with your wife?
Colossians 3:23
Things are better - in spite of Obama - but with the Obama economy and true double digit unemployment rates; ask yourself this:
“Am I willing to walk away from this job, and face the prospect of having no job or a McJob or maybe even schlepping at Wally Mart?”
no vanity tag and facebook vagueness and drama - no thanks
What you said!
:P
Well, it depends.
My suggestion: Don’t come here asking for help when you already know the answer.
excellent, thank you!
23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
OK Crazy Jim I’ll bite - man up and improve something every week that is in your power to improve - get others on board to their bit as well. Then you can put the bite on the boss if their is money needed to be spent to improve it.

If your working at planed parenthood, I would suggest you quit...
