~~~Confused~~~ - Grand Prairie,TX

Be careful to weigh all the pros and cons. I f your job is willing to work around the cross training to keep you as an employee, that a sign that they value you. Those others who have proven to be a bother based on your description ,from my lifes experience will only be able to maintain if they grow up otherwise they will have watched you come and you'll watch them leave. Be encouraged! Follow your heart besides those small distractions are you happy and at peace?

Ack, good luck A.. I would not like that commute. Also if you took that other position you'd be stuck in RUSH HOUR traffic which will make that 40 miles even worse....

Hi A.,

I read about your delima and I'm sorry you have to go through that at work with those 2 women. It sounds to me you might be happier somewhere else and an extra perk would be not traveling so far to work everyday! Are you currently working in an office? What kind of work do you currently do? There are a few places I know of in the Arlington area that you may be interested in looking into! Let me know if you would like the names of these companies!

Hi A.!

I suggest you keep looking for another job, it's obvious you are not happy there and a job title change isn't going to make a difference. That said, the job market is pretty hard out here! I just moved from CA 2 months ago with about 10 years experience in what I do and it's been pretty overwhelming! I went to a bunch of interviews, people just wasted my time, employers want to pay peanuts etc! Finally I got a job offer yesterday and I can't tell you how happy I am!
If you need the income it's probably best that you continue with your company and look for another opportunity consistenly until you find that job that will offer you the shorter commute and a more mature environment.
That's just my opinion :)
If you don't need the income then what the heck, quit and take your time. Just finish strong where you are at so you can keep the reference of course!

Hi A., I'm sorry to hear about your frustrating job experience. It sounds like you need to get out of the situation completely. The commute is insane with gas prices these days as well. I am a single mom with a 19 month old girl and have had a similar (but not as bad work situation). It is hard dropping your kid off everyday at school and going to a work environment that is less than stellar. I have an alternative for you if you are interested. Arbonne International offers the opportunity to build your own business (while still working full-time), make a decent income and potentially enough to work arbonne full-time and stay at home with your kids. I have found great success with this and enjoy training others that are unhappy with their situation to do the same. I am very close to the point of being able to stay at home full time and still have a full time income.

Either way, good luck! I wish you all the best in your search.
