Are you happy working? Redundancy sucks
Recently I was made redundant, I thought oooo some time off but find I am only happy 
working. Fortunately, when the announcement was made, I had already seen the writing on the wall, so had been looking for a new new job for some time.
Times are hard and as thinsg went down I was no longer happy working so I decided early in 2008 that it was time to move on. Its a good job I did as I have had to go to plenty of interviews before I found one that motivated me.
I went to see BAT, British American Tobacco, the salary was good and the additional benefits meant it would have been a pay rise. When I accepted the interview I thought of the money, but not really the role. For me to be happy working I have to like the role and of course the place of work.
Unfortunately when it came to the crunch I didn’t like either the working environment nor the role so that was a move onwards and upwards that wasn’t going to happen. There is no way I could be happy working for a company who’s primary testing revolves around smoking cigarettes, its just not me.
For one thing I’m allergic to the smoke so how could I have even thought I might be happy working for the tobacco industry. I think maybe I let the consultant talk me into the role, just shows how unhappy I had been in the role I was fulfilling at the time I suppose.
Now I have a new job supplying products for positron emission tomography, I don’t know much about it yet but I’m sure I will be happy working there. I’ll tell you more about it as I learn about the health promotion aspects myself.
