I get paid too much to be canned for talking to my boss.

Why? Did you read the entry? I don't have a problem. My question is why is it that everyone's kneejerk reaction to a problem at work is quit and go somewhere else?

Nobody (well almost) here is happy with their job, so when someone pipes up and voices their dissatisfaction and indicates they are prepared to do something about it, we all want to live vicariously through them.

Thank you for your answer. I am satisfied, and now relinquish the thread.

Not so fast, I’m not done yet.
When one is dissatisfied, it is much harder to imagine what might be required to stick it out in their current situation. The promise of new horizons, ney, greener pastures is much easier for most to imagine. There is a certain sense of freedom, power and self-determination in the act of resigning and starting with a clean slate, which can’t be experienced, especially vicariously, by putting up and sticking it out in an unhappy position.

Resume, or resumé?
- in EU use latin: curriculum vitae = CV. Resumé sounds like you're doing a "summary" for a science paper.Corvo2
- uh. they both have two totally different meanings. EU or not.Ampersanderson

quitting was the best thing i have ever done
in text it might sound knee jerk - but you know when you are in a bad place when you are there - i must have quit at least 10 jobs - and I'm better off for ittrue - the grass isn't always greener on the other side - but it remains the same - you have to look out for yourself - anyone you work for is doing the same.
