Seen a lot of folks ask questions on here about jobs so thought I would ask too. Been at my current job working for the federal government for 13 years and currently in a fairly high position. I am 38 years of age. Should be able to retire at age of 57.5. I have around 1400 hours of sick leave and carry over 240 of annual leave yearly. At 15 years will earn 8 hours of annual leave biweekly.
Could start a new job and would have to start all leave over and probably take a pay cut for a few years however would be paid in bonus and performance so a wash there and have a company truck and cell phone. I would consider it a drop in position too. Think of it as Rob Walton in baseball at OSU.
This is the reason why. I work in a office that no one does what I do so no real friends there. They all work for another division. Use to be folks in there in my division until last year. The agency I work for has taken so many cuts for the division I work for so we have to do more with less employees and the ones we hire anymore are not qualified so more headaches for me. It just is not as fun as it was in 2002. Nothing we have works and can't ever order anything. Like I said what 20 people use to do now like 5 has to do it so everyone goes so fast a lot of mistakes are made. The people eligible to retire are leaving so fast and the good new employees are being hired away.
Just wanted some suggestions as is this normal thinking on my part as do folks go through this? Is this foolish to even be thinking this way? Only reason I do is the job is not what it once was and I am thinking it is only going to get worse. Don't want to throw away all I have gained at work either.
