I’ll start with a quick apology for the extended gap between posts. It would seem that the phrase “job security” or more in point the lack thereof, rears its ugly head every few months and I for one am getting quite tired of it. This time its the ubiquitious threat of outsourcing. Being that I’m in the wonderful world of IT (information technology) the possibility of being outsourced seems to be just around the corner for me. Whether or not that means I will have a job in the coming months who knows. What I *do* know is that morale is out the window and motivation levels are pretty low for a lot of people, myself included.
I think the only thing people are motivated to do is find another job and the more I think about it the more appealing it sounds to just get out of the IT industry entirely. Unfortunate as that may be, seeing as how I love technology and learning about new things in that field and things related to technology (if I could have an electronic toilet believe me I would), I just don’t think that I want to deal with the next several years of stuff that just seems to be happening to this job field.
But alas the only other things I know I am good at doing immediately I just dont think pay well enough to keep me and mine in the lifestyle we’ve grown accustomed to living. Going back to school would be a good option if I didn’t have to pay for it and they paid me while I went and didnt expect good results. That would be ideal.
Hrmm not much to this post but whining. Oh well.
