Pancake Posted April 20, 2008 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.
Ashley Posted April 20, 2008 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.
Raining_again Posted April 20, 2008 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.
nightwolf Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I've lasted 7months, then quit. Go me, I get way to bored, 2 years?! I get bored after 1 month and get to sick of death of people after two weeks. >_>
Guest bluey Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 my longest was 3 years at gamestation, before that i was at argos for 2 years, then like, 6 months at a few places... game, tchibo... 4 months at blockbusters (quit to come to j-p0n) the shortest time i've ever had 1 job for was 1 month. i worked at santa's grotto in my local shopping centre as an elf loved every minute... although the costumes were a bit dodge.
Jimbob Posted April 20, 2008 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.
RossK Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Lets see umm retail around 1 year went insane with boredom then Traffic Warden for 7 months before joining the Police almost 2 years in now , love it and intend to spend my working career within the service. Oh and Double rounds morning paper boy for 5 years from 12-17 lol:yay:
ReZourceman Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 2 years (now) at HBOS. Its kinda sickening I guess....but its a damn good thing that my colleagues are so awesome...or else Id be sooo depressed, because Id want to quit but I had suuuuccchhhh an epic phail hard time getting a job. Nowhere wanted me.
Pyxis Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 A year is enough for me! Ive currently been at my current place for 16 months and its time to move on. The people are nice, but I could easily get paid more elsewhere.

By then I had the experience necessary to apply =) Thing is all jobs ask for experience.. Yah, how can we get experience when no-one gives us a chance >_>
Guest Jordan Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I've been working at my current employer for... 10 months now. I'm liking it, but its really quite tough.
Noodleman Posted April 22, 2008 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.
Esequiel Posted April 22, 2008 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
martinist Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 a.....job....? *hides in a corner* "make the bad men go away mummy" >_<
Jav_NE Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I havn't lasted more than 2 years at any one job, but i'm getting there!
Iun Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I havn't lasted more than 2 minutes on the job, but i'm getting there! Bwa ha ha ha... I don't know... a year, I suppose? Not been in the world of work long enough. But I seem to be promoted quite quickly in whatever field I am in.
Daniel Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 full time student for almost 16 years at least 2 more to go too :P
