On Indecisiveness

Would you still stay in a job you’ve been badmouthing recently? What if you PM suddenly came up to you and asked you if you have any issues regarding extending on the project, what would you say? Would you be honest enough to tell him all your rants or would you say that you love your job and you do not have any issues at all?

A job wherein you can relax because deep down you know it is not your fault that you accomplished your tasks for the day in 4 hours max or you just do not have anything to do at all. A job wherein they pay you to surf the Net, download and chat the night away. A job where you can escape the morning rush because you are in night shift... A job wherein you can save money that can be used to treat family, friends and yourself.

A job wherein you feel guilty because you do not do a day’s work for a day’s job. A job where you lose your mind pondering what you may do in order to be productive. A job where you are 14 hours behind your real time zone since you have to work during your US counterpart time. A job where you have to sacrifice time with your family, friends and nightly outings and concerts for work.

What would you do?

Ask your PM roughly how long the project will last. Joke him that it would not reach a year. Any other way you are willing to extend and that you do not have any issues at all. Make it appear that you are happy about it because at least you can save up for your future.

That was what I did!
