Is it okay to want to get another job

How are you? Is it okay to want to look for another job. Is it not grateful to want a change from doing the same job for 15 years?

Plus too, as nice as the bosses are, they're not really about improvement. All they do is just internal stuff, they do do work, just reinvent the wheel, or another way to do the work.

They don't do anything to help the customers, I'm amazed we haven't had complaints.

Am I not grateful for just staying in same job, I proberly will as I'm not good at getting a job. Too many people.

I think I'm the only one at work dissappointed in the bosses, just sad, & I am trying to do other stuff to take my mind off work, but I think I just need to get another job. At least try too - to find sonewhere where the people like learning, their not lazy & work has a purpose. My workplace isn't going to adapt, update or improve

Hi there op .

Ofc it's alright. 15yrs you've done really well actually for these days a lot of people would've had 3 or 4 jobs in that time.

They say we have 3 or 4 careers too these days and l did myself too actually and known plenty of others.People often even just need change to if nothing else.

At any rate, so lt's all just up to you really, your the boss. lf your not happy in cruise mode there that's cool many aren't. Lot pf people go on persisting

but just despising their job yrs and yrs.

The others at yours must be fine with cruise though and that's all good but that's them and your you.

Good luck with things anyway.

Thanks & sorry for late reply.

Been good & am on holiday now, but am overthinking again.

Been comparing where I work with other places, other places are doing stuff or achieving stuff, but like social media that's possibly not the case.

Been on here before complaining about lack of progress but from a book I read called "The Let Them " theory, I need to Let Them Do What They want, I can't change them & just today, I admitted their the I word. Ends with T.

Its just today, but unlike other days, I am telling myself its not gonna happen, I got mixed up & confused.

I've noticed the world has so many automatic updates, like phone, tv, email, app, etc, oh railway timetables & where I work we have print loose leaf updates for the lawyers.... I've realized I've mixed the two up, its confusing - I've complained & banged on about them & about us having them for so long & I don't think people use them & I've had staff going off at me for complaining about them - saying pass it off to someone else to do if I'm tired of them, for a break, & like last June, I realized with all the phone software updates I've gotten mixed up. The legal profession are different from the rest of the world - the world has adapted & moved on and them, at least from where I come from, they're popular - My anger & anxiety is from this, wanting to change it, but I can't - I need to accept I was wrong. I googled it, computer updates have around for 26 years, so if print loosleaf is still popular, as publishers are still producing them than, ...my god, what a silly goose I been. But I guess I've seen the world & all the tech & mixed them up. It truly is confusing.

There is one other person at work who agrees, & also, my other sin is that I think my manager is a dud, not personally, just workwise, but again I can't change her & she won't change...

Gotta one, keep on applying & accept them.

I am listening to Jay Shetty, as he's quite good & positive & I'm being negetive. I like him as he has deep conversations, people at work I can't have deep conversations - just work & general conversations.

I don't know what's wrong with me, not grateful, & I'm a level 1, but my job don't feel meaningful or has purpose - its a way to pay the bills & mortgage. I don't kniw why I want more than just paying me bills & food. Why do other people do meaningful jobs with purpose
