I have been thinking about submitting this topic for
awhile now, ...thought that I would see if there is
any interest.
A lot of us are somewhere in our careers as Code
Officials, ...Contractors and RDP's.....Some are at
the twilight of their careers, ...some are in the
middle, ...some are at the beginning, and some are
at various points along the way.
Do any of you ever have questions about your
career ?.........Such as: Should I stay or go some-
where else, ...How To Ask For More Money, ...What
are the "tea leaves" in your particular location
looking like, ...How Do I Obtain More Training, ...My
fellow Code Officials are doing XXX under the table,
should I report this to Management or keep quiet,
...Is the grass really greener over there, or does it
just appear to be greener from here, and on and on
and on.
IMO, ...sometimes the answers are pretty easy,
other times, it's a complicated situation that
[ might ] benefit those asking or trying to evaluate
their employment position.
The regular visitors on this Forum have read the
situations [ posted on here ] where some have been
in some pretty lousy employment positions, and
have asked the Forum members & Sawhorses for
input [ no names or locations will be mentioned ] !
My question is, ...do you think that a "new" category
called Career Management would benefit those who
are trying to honestly evaluate their positions,
...either for the short term, ...for the long term or
both, ...or maybe even not at all?
I am seeking input from the members and Sawhorses,
because I find myself needing input on a regular
basis.
Thank you for your consideration and input!
FWIW, ...anonymity about you and your location is
highly suggested !
