What to do with my job?

Question

ive been working for three years now and i am starting to get bored with it... the salary is okey my colleagues are okey too but the problem is we have been undermanned since january and our manager is just a slow as as a turtle to ask for man power or even hire someone to complete the people under his company.. i sometimes hate our manager already and wanted to talk to him straight to his face that we can not take the work load anymore..

what should i do?

Answer 1

First we find interesting in any job but as the days go we find bored as we do same type of work everyday. But we ourselves have to find interest in work. So we cant think of it to leave the job. But in between change ur work if you feel bored.  

Answer 2

keep your eyes open for something else

Answer 3

it may not be his fault....we are in the same position being understaffed for the workload we have.

and, as the general manager, i have been tasked by MY bosses to do the job within a specified number of hours a week that THEY gave me to work with based on what some idiot engineer in a cubicle that has never done the job before says we should be able to do it with.

and, just like you, my employees are jumping up and down mad thinking that i am doing nothing and making them work harder so that i will 'show a bigger profit margin and therefore make a bigger bonus'....which was the exact wording they used when they filed a grievance with the union whining like little children about the fact that they are having to work harder.

well, you know what? they are getting the job done and at the pace they should have been working at to start with, which means they didn't really need ALL of the extra help we had. while I have to get in there and work with them too now, it wasn't MY decision and wasn't something I wanted to do, as it may be the case with your boss.

before you get all bent out of shape at him, take a moment to put yourself in his shoes and consider the fact there may just be people above him tying his hands with regard to hiring, budgets and accountability for margins in the rough economy well all are having to deal with.

my advice to you would be to keep your mouth shut, do a good job and be glad you still have a job. I just laid off 60 out of 110 and that's just my office.....that doesn't include the 2000 that have lost their jobs within my company...... industrywide in my business there have been over 30,000 job losses since the first of the year.

it just might not be his fault.
