Posted April 20, 2008 By that i mean - i i'm SICK of looking at my place of work, and all the little underlying tensions and incidents with people have just all built up until i can't stand it anymore. I have an urge to go and start all over again in a new job. I felt like this at my last job after 1 and a half years, and this job i've been at 2 years. So i think i have approx 2-year-itis. I can't stand a job much longer than 2 years. What's yours? It only counts if you work fulltime, cos that's when the routine really kicks in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 20, 2008 I agree, after two years it becomes meh. I was at Woolworths for two, and Game for two and a half but only stopped over Christmas for the sake of the then-manager as I liked him. Although neither were classed as full time but I worked anything up to 50 hours a week at Game so im gonna say it is. Besides, if you routinely work part time then its still a routine.

Posted April 20, 2008 I don't mind my routine so much. TBH, my job changes a lot with the service. Currently we work 9-5, taking referrals for Primary Care Nursing, Continuing Care Nursing (both are what most people know as District nursing) and Community Rehabilitation (aka Home from hospital service). We could be going to a 24hr service in the next coming years, and we take on different services from time to time... So my job does change every now and then. Been in the job for almost 3 years, and I like the fact that I know my job well. Also being the most senior staff (other than the boss, and one other person) is pretty good.

Posted April 20, 2008 Longest job lasted me 2 years 3 months at the Co-op, shortest was 5 days and that was at the Celtic Manor when they promised weekly pay in my contract and didn't pay up as they claimed i and a few others didn't do a full weeks work, so i walked out and got a few people involved.

Posted April 22, 2008 Been working here since November 2006, would probably have looked to move after about a year. But as im off traveling in September I didnt really see the point might as well just stick it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 22, 2008 22 months in my current job. 20 months in a different one. I think 2 years is my limit in the same position, if there were promotions etc then it would be different. I find out on wednsday if i got the job with the NHS :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
