<prompt> Human: Ive been working at a company for 9 years. I LOVE what I do but more and more management is making it impossible to progress not talking about a raisepromotion. For example, the VP doesnt feel that our website is important, thus wont invest money it. We are a Fortune 500 company and the website is the face of our brand. The VPmanagers have zero clue about digital strategy and keep adding on random job responsibilities as we go. For example a designer was hired to be--a designer--now hes a help desk champ and has to do training to content owners. Ive asked my manager outright if I am being switched to a copywriter. She laughed and said no way my experience is in project management, strategy and copywriting. Well I found out today she dumped another website on me and now...Im a content contributor i.e. copywriter. Im in my early 40s and my portfolio in the last 9 years is shit. I have stayed for the following reasons: 1 pay highest Ive been paid and not complaining. Im sure I could make more but Ive also seen way less salaries 2 health benefits 3 pension. My husband owns his own business so all benefitsretirement is through me. 4 one work from home day but this is getting dicey. A VP was totally baffled why a coworker had to leave early for Shabbat. She doesnt see the needperk of working from homeflex time. 5 vacation. Ive accrued 28 days you start out with 24.So seeing Im the main breadbenefit earner and my hours are pretty solid overtime is rare but when it hits, were talking ridiculous 17-24 hour days because the VP fucked up. However, the job itself is a disorganized, joke, mess of a position. I sat in a meeting the other day where a senior coworker shes 60 honestly thought that if you saved a document on your hard drive, it magically got uploaded and updated to a content management system. I sat there, staring at her and thought holy fuck, one day Im going to be the out of touch 60-something year old with a good pension but clueless about anything with digital because this company doesnt teach us shit nor implements shit---were still o IE 8 for Christs sake!So given that and seeing how a lot of people have it worse or jumping ship COULD be worse as in stability, hours; I see our son 2 hours a day. I get up at 5am and get home at 6pm---this isnt going to change due to location of jobs; but I will NOT work overtime on a daily basis what is the right thing to do?My husband supports my decision whatever it is but the underlying sentiment is oh shit because I will lose the pension and the appearance of stability one never knows what will happen in the job market. Would you jump ship to find some sort of job satisfaction and throw family financial duty to the wind? For salary, I dont even have complaints. I want a lateral move although more is nicer. I just want to fucking learn something and see the company be in 2015 trends and beyond.  <response>: My H has been in a very similar situation for years...large company, great pay, but no professional support. Hates it but is too afraid to leave because hes afraid hell lose the good things hes accrued.Were both in tech. I hated the guts of my last job but made it out and guess what...I now have a job I really love. Your kids know when you are unhappy. Think about the priorities you are modeling for them...what do you want them to see? Should work and money, and fear of losing it, be more important? If you are in tech you wont make a pittance at your next job. There are more important things than money, and worse things than rearranging a budget for a job you otherwise love.I tell my H all the time, you wont even know what is out there Unless You Look.
