I just realized that while I've been fed up with this school for years I haven't left because I love seeing the rest of the staff. We've become friends and they make everything so much easier. Not sure if I'm sabotaging myself or if this is just a really fine choice to stay just because of other people.

People you work with can make all the difference in the world- good or bad. Makes sense that you’d stay. I’m glad you work with such great people.

Oh I feel this so much. I love my coworkers, I have a fantastic team, and my school community is so wonderful. That being said, I could make significantly more at a larger more suburban district and my commute would be significantly shorter, but I highly doubt I’ll have all the things that make me love my job in a new district. I’m so torn - do I make the switch and make more money but potentially be miserable or do I stay where I am and continue to pinch pennies? It’s so hard - I do not know the answer!

To find a job where you love your colleagues is rare. Weigh out the pros and cons but for me, good colleagues would definitely make me think twice about leaving.

My colleagues were why I stayed in a toxic school 2 years longer than I should have. Ironically, the year I left 3 of my favorite colleagues did, too. Only 2 of us knew we were looking. The other 2 were a shock to us and all 4 of us shocked the rest of the staff.
I learned that when it’s time to go, it’s time to go.

I think that you owe it to yourself to see what else is out there. There is still a shortage of teachers so if you don't like it, I'm sure you could come back.

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of. I don't want to be plowing through our savings for selfish reasons like my mindframe at work, but I don't want to make our lives worse by being miserable. It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing. Any suggestions for how to handle?

Do you feel more refreshed with lots of smaller trips, or more with a few long trips? Kids are 1 & 3.
