Just hit my 1 year anniversary -anyone else get that 1 year itch? What do you do about it? (This is about being at the same company/role, not a relationship tho I’m guessing it’s a similar itch hah)

1 year? 🤦‍♂️ Did you not get your participation ribbon?

You can see the generational gap between OP and SP1 by the question and answer alone.

OP, I usually get an itch after 1 year too and honestly I do the smallest amount of scratching that itch. I’ll start passively looking for no other reason than just cause. Sometimes that scratches the itch, sometimes I apply and just see what happens. Nothing has to come from any of it

^ Yeah, you’re right. Seems to me your parents never taught you “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”

Please, you know you were being condescending, don’t bullshit now, it’s not cute.

And to OP, yeah sometimes I get that 1 year itch, but I mostly just ignore and keep pushinggg because grass is always greener. Sometimes I just chat with people in the agency who love it or talk to friends who hate their job to remind me I’m good!

like

OP, do you have career goals/plan for yourself at 5-10yrs-retirement? How does that align with the 1 year at your current employer? If you don't have a plan that gives what you're doing a meaning, things will always seem meaningless. If you don't have direction or purpose professionally, maybe do some evaluation of that and see what comes up for you.

This cracks me up. But then the pendulum swings way the other way with @account director 1, the only person left in the industry who knows what the hell they will be doing when they “retire”.

@ASD doubtful. We’re probably a similar age but it does sound like there were differences in our upbringing. (Just speculating)

Right around the same time I learned to mind my own business. How is pointing out an observation impolite? Must be one of these generational ‘observations’ ASD was pointing out

Please don’t put words in my mouth. That’s how fake news gets started and benefits no one

Technically your fingers, but okay. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Eww 😷

Yes I get the 1 year itch. And not because I want a participation award... it’s because I’m just a restless person. I think the majority of people seek comfort and new jobs/cities are scary.
