I hate my job. I can't stand being here for another minute.
Question is, should I bite the bullet and stay till end of year for the "bonus" that I so sorely deserve?
It's not gona be alot of money, and I know no one else know the circumstances as well as i do, but .... I'm just frustrated.

(Oct 19 07, 08:35)spence, i go thru the most job offers at this time of the year than any other time. i am infact turning down work or tryin to give it to other designers.
jason, i would stick it out, but if you can get interviews for new work you will be in a much better place, and also demand more money in your next gig... work is never aboutthe bonus, its about the career you can make, a bonus?? once a year? maybe thats a goal, but i would look at it as something stronger, i was in a job where i hated it everyday, i was treated very poorly and my salary was utter crap, the moment i left and took on a new position i was shining and that amount of pure freedom gave me the confidence to get the salaires i want, to get the goals i needed. be positive, and make a change!! its your career, and if you feel its not going anywhere then i would look for more.
a new environment would make all the differences in the world.

I dunno what a boy is to do.
A man grabs some samples for his portfolio, heads for the hills, wallows in self pity for about a week, then gets his self-promo on. Two months and a couple thousand beans later, he's a got a killer new job.

referring to yourself as a "boy" sets my gaydar off.

Is the $$ bonus worth 2 months of misery?
If you can get by I'd say look for something new, I had to leave a place I couldn't stand 1 summer ago, but I found the job I'm working at now (it's awesome), 2 weeks after I'd left the crappy one. Best career-move I've made so far.
if you can pay your bills: happiness > money
imho
