Choose to no longer hate it.

What specifically do you hate about the job?

How do you feel when you make a new client or have a small win in this job?

If you could create more of that, would you still hate it?

Do you feel energized after meeting with a client or talking to people, or does it drain you?

I think there came a time where I got very bored with the job; monotonous. The way I turned it around was to spend time doing things I enjoyed. The freedom then became the thing I love most about the job which gives me high job satisfaction today. I do lots of things away from the office which results in new assets but also I have someone at the office taking care of immediate needs.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?
