Just want to vent as much as get some perspective.
I'm unhappy in my job, have been for a good long while. We have been through a big restructure with lots of redundancies and lots of unhappiness. Many other people left as our business was sinking with Covid. Things have turned the tide and now we have the opposite problem of too much work and not enough people.
My industry has a hot jobs market, so we are trying to recruit but being turned down by people who have better offers elsewhere. Which means more and more is falling onto us and those higher up just keep tendering for more and more contracts despite not being able to fulfil them.
I also have an arse of a colleague who due to the restructure got effectively demoted and it's been a bugbear ever since. She comes back from annual leave tomorrow and I just CBA to deal with her microaggressions and passive aggressiveness. It's not just to me, we had someone start who left after six months because of her and easily walked into a job elsewhere.
I'm moving house at the moment so I wanted to wait until I move before looking for a new job but I'm just so fed up I wonder if I should bother waiting. I have lots of experience and I'm quite sure I would easily find another job. But I know I'd be leaving my other colleauges in the shit as we just would struggle to find a replacement as we are already struggling, and I do like them, but I'm just so unhappy. And so are many of them when I've spoken to them.
Tell me it'll be okay? I move, get a new job, and it'll all be amazing , right?!
