I'm all for helping people out and doing the right thing. The generations before us seem to have forgotten that. I get pissed off when I hear talk about the "me" generation and how entitled people under 30 are. People under 30 just want a fair shake and see that they're just there to be screwed over. CEO and managers gladly screw people over if it means their bonus will be bigger and they can post bigger profits, even if it means doing unethical things like only having part time employees, fabricating fault so they can fire someone prior to retirement so they can't get unemployment or full benefits, and so on.
So, unfortunately, we've been put in a place where you have to quit jobs and screw employers over in order to survive and hope to get to the point where we'll actually get a job that pays well enough to start a retirement fund. It's not a mindset of screw everyone, but one of recognizing that the only way to not get screwed over yourself is to occasionally screw over an employer by leaving them with little to no notice.
The only problem I see is your own job history. You do this too many times, how can a good employer hire you? They will see it and throw your application in the round file.
If you are serious about progressing "up the ladder", make it so. You don't burn bridges to do this. Someday, you may discover that some boss of yours in the past will encounter your current boss and things will not go so well for you. ESPECIALLY if one of your former bosses becomes YOUR boss.
It's always best to leave on good terms. My advice to you.
I don't disagree that it's always best to leave on good terms. I simply stated that sometimes you have no choice.
Ask any HR person or anyone involved in headhunting and the like. They will tell you that in order to move up these days, you need to change jobs and that sometimes those changes happen quickly and can leave a bad taste in your prior employers mouth. Even so, you have to do what's best for you.
Well, if you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, a good suggestion is to make a suggestion as to why your job is uncomfortable to you. Talk and communicate. Ask if there are opportunities elsewhere within the company you are currently in.
If that doesn't work, and your boss tells you "There's the door if you don't like it..." answer, then you have to decide for yourself if it's actually worth staying at the current job you are in, or make it happen for yourself. You can tell your boss (even if you don't like it) that you are giving them notice. At least a week, so they can find someone to replace you.
This shows the boss that even though you may not like your job, you respect the company you work for and this makes for a good transition into a new career. It's best to do this when you have something to go into or fall back on. Don't do this if you have nothing lined up!
It's
silly foolish just to be angry and have nothing in the end.
