Are you just after more variety & money? Will that be worth the loss of "freedom" that you have at your current position (the start time & end time stuff you mentioned)? For instance, will you be able to post on the Ledge in the middle of the day?  
I know - I also hate it when people answer my questions with questions. |
lol. I haven't told them and I'm almost positive they will counter-offer.
I love my job, but I am tired of being overwhelmed and not getting any relief AND having to work for 5 attorneys (including 1 partner) when others have 1 or 2. I've been asking for something to change for close to a year. I haven't gotten the raise I was promised for 2 years. My main boss (the partner) is never in the office and we used to be really tight...I mean, REALLY tight. She's been doing nothing but bitching for the past 6 months. She never does the things she used to do for me...we never talk. I can't continue on like this. It's not as petty as it may sound, but I'm going at 200% and dealing with constant attitude...I just can't deal with it anymore, you know?
As for your second point, that's the kicker. I have HEINOUS amounts of flexibility and get away with a lot. Get in at 9, usually don't take a lunch (meaning I don't eat), and leave at about 4:45, never have trouble taking off, can be gone here and there if I need to...it's crazy how much special treatment I do get sometimes.
so, to go to another firm that is excited to have me, is going to pay me what translates to about $200 more per paycheck and to prove to certain people here that they better wake up. They are going to **** when I tell them. Who is going to handle their clients and cases...I mean, they are going to die. I've been handling it all for 4 years. Who are they going to get to replace me? no one. that's who.
...is it worth it? I'm thinking so.
