Don't feel guilty, corporations aren't people and you don't owe them anything. :)
Ok, seriously, I feel your pain. I generally stay with companies for longer periods of time and tend to ride out the bad rather than taking the easy way out and jumping ship for something more exciting. But it does feel awkward when you even start thinking about leaving. Sounds like you have already made up your mind that you want to feel the greener grass under your feet and are trying to justify staying where you're at. I think the question is: if you were allowed to WFH 3 days a week and any other little perks (more compensation?, changing the rotation of the earth) were to be made available, would you stop thinking about the new company? Also, sounds like you'd have lots more family time if you jumped ship or got more WFH days, which I assume from your FB posts is important to you. Also, is the new place a startup, or is it > 5 years in business? The allure of a foosball table isn't worth it if you are overworked and/or out of a job in 6 months. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:364480 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
