This group has never steered me wrong (for the most part
) I've seen a lot of sound advise being shared.
Currently, job: Been with the company for 3 years, moved up 3 times from entry-level to supervisor. I'm in charge of a team of 11 people. The last supervisor in charge of my current team pretty much quit because it was too hard. Like most upper management, they are focused on the bottom dollar and not how to improve the process to earn more $$. We roll out silly ideas that no one is interested in and go back to what we were doing 3 months prior. I understand at every job we deal with idiots (internally and externally). We can't do much externally, but management seems to ignore that issue completely. At this point in time, I feel I'm at a wall. I don't think there is much more room for growth past my point and I don't really care for it as well. I'm no longer excited about the job and I'm at the point where I don't care as much either. I'm still good at my job and try to teach my team as much as possible. But management needs to step in and help solve some of the external problems. This company would be awesome if we made rules and stuck to them. But instead, they like to go the route of "this is a one-time exception" but that exception happens daily so it should just be the rule. Side note for this company, a few people have asked to be demoted and the company granted them the request and they kept the same pay, that's how backwards this company is.. lol
A former co-worker reached out to me. His company is looking for someone to do what we do at job X. They promoted him about a year ago and were unable to find a replacement for him, everyone was a bust. From what I learned, it will just be a 2-3-person operation (him, me and maybe an intern). The company looks to be well managed and very logically. Upper management is on the same floor as everyone else and you can talk to me (so I'm told). There seems to growth for the right people. I'm not big into titles, I'm more into the money but I am going to give up a supervisor title and go back into something mid-range/entry level. The pay will be lower by 20% and I'm currently asking them to match my existing pay but I'm doubtful. That is my biggest worry. At the end of the day, if this company delivers on 55% of what they told me I think I would happy with this company. I do have a follow up with HR on the details so least I can try to compare apples to apples and not just pure salary numbers.
What do you guys think? Or should I wait it out some more until a find another job that pays equal or higher? Both companies are a big name in their respective industries.
I'm in my early 30s starting a family. College degree. Average median income. The commute is roughly the same 20 miles each way.
