My third job in 24 years!

Last week, after attending informal and formal interviews, I was told that I would be offered the job I had applied for.
I shall be continuing in audiology, but working for a smaller, more professional, less unwieldly firm.

The pay and holiday are better, the car is faster and a little more chic, but the biggest improvements will be in the company's professional attitude and outlook. Smaller firms tend to value their staff more, and I certainly get that impression from talking to them. They seem to value the input and ideas of their staff, whereas my present company are so large and faceless, one feels more like a number or statistic than the company's most valuable asset, which is what we are. After all, without us, they have NO income.

So after two years of growing more and more disgruntled with working for such a large organisation, I had little hesitation when the job was offered to me, and I will shortly move on to my third job in 24 years!

My biggest regret is leaving behind my fantastic mate Nancy, who is undoubtedly the best friend I've ever had from a working environment, but to be honest, our friendship now is about far more than the fact that we work together three days a week.

I shall write more on this topic when I begin the work!
