Yep, it happens all the time Alana, as I’m sure you’ve experienced. A manager can really influence your level of enjoyment of a job.

“people don’t leave companies they leave managers”
wow! I have never heard this saying before, but yes, that would be true for me. 

Sweet! I look forward to seeing the post. I am very good at looking forward and sometimes am looking at the next thing so often that I forget where I really am – it is a hard fall when I realize I am still in the same place. Having a plan is where I falter – I like to fly by the seat of my pants. In this scenario, that is not always helpful. Thanks for the advice. I have received this specific feedback before, so it may be time to actually design that plan. 🙂 

Oh I love that idea for a blog post Alana. I will write a post on that soon thanks to your idea. When you’re dealing with a transition period, the important thing to do is to always be looking forward. Have a plan of some kind and take action to move forward. We can get stuck when we start focusing on how hard it is to achieve our goals. So keep looking into the future to what you’re aiming for.

Ha, you must really not like going to the dentist Tyler. Well, maybe it’s not time for a career change for you after all.

Yes absolutely Jeff. The quality of your manager definitely has a strong impact on job satisfaction. The old saying, “people don’t leave companies they leave managers” can hold true in a lot of situations. Glad to hear you have a good boss in your current role.
