I totally understand what you are saying about the money not being everything.  I don't get paid as much as I could at my job, but the pace and stress level makes it totally worth it to stay.  I wouldn't trade that for anything.  It sounds like you get to be home soon.  That is always a good thing!

If you are working for a company with a good culture and decent colleagues, you should definitely stay. Sometimes people change jobs for a higher salary, but don't factor in the immense culture shock of joining a new company.

Glad you enjoyed your work do - it gives you a new perspective when you take a trip to somewhere different and get a chance to meet people/colleagues you wouldn't normally interact with, doesn't it?

Being surrounded by competent people who also know how to support each other in the work environment is priceless. Money is not everything, as you said.

And I agree that the same goes for personal relationships. In my case, I see that the family has eroded in recent times. Some have left the country. And it is no longer the same. Everyone is more individualistic with time or with their closest family nucleus. And if I am honest, I miss the old times of the large family that always looked for any excuse to get together and to be there for each other. 

And well, I agree that the more isolated a person is, the more open road there is for depression and lack of emotional stability.

I hope you'll have a great evening :)

Reminds me of the Law of Environment. If I find that I can actually thrive and be better in my current workplace, why would I leave??? Lol

This post is truly light as a feather, beautiful vibe. I agree completely, people can make or destroy an experience and if we have good people around, even the most tedious work can be fun and enriching. Rebuilding lost trust and supporting new, growing pockets for trust and joy may be difficult, but it's always wonderful. You're completely right, money isn't even close to enough!

Especially when I worked as a teacher, it definitely was not about the money. I truly loved building new relationships with students year after year and watching as they acquired knowledge and developed as humans. The happy hours with colleagues also went a long to helping ease the sacrifices I made in other parts of my life to work on that profession.

being happy at work is great, very nice writing for 20 minutes, this is a skill I lack for certain.  & indeed money is not everything

Interesting photo. At first it appeared to be some kind of insect.

>but I like seeing people get the recognition they deserve for what can be difficult

In my terms, "effort will never betray results."

The more difficult a job is and it is completed with full responsibility, the more recognition will come naturally over time, without the need to be asked.

About trust, you are absolutely right. Momentary and individualistic interests are increasingly eroding large groups, which should be oriented toward empowering everyone involved and succeeding together.

Even though it is common knowledge that working with other people will lighten the burden and increase the results obtained, The result is not about money, but about success and happiness. Because happiness cannot be bought, especially if you lose trust.

Have a nice day.

the best place is with good collegues, good culture and good money :)
but yea money is not all in work for sure

Interesting, I am only seen myself where I work for another 4-5 years, if nothing extrewme happens.

So good stretch! It says stretched, right?

I agree with you that money is not enough and teamwork is always important and helps to achieve great goals; a single person will never be able to reach the same goals as a well-prepared and close-knit team.

The same goes for the family; Reny and I are a very close-knit team and I believe that there is no other way than to experience the family together, cooperating and seeking success in life...but a team success!

Great that you have a great place to work :) I think the people really do make all the difference.  I can and have tolerated crappy upper management (as long as I didn't have to listen to them or deal with them for longer than 10mins) purely because the colleagues were great.  And been really lucky that I haven't had to deal with the reverse x_x

I remember J explaining to a friend of his who thought he was obsessed with money that he didn't like money, he just didn't like not having it, and he has turned down numerous jobs that would have given an appreciable pay bump because they wouldn't let him work from home or mandated vaccination, and according to him we're too old to care about chasing money and lifestyle is much more important now or something to that effect XD

After a certain dollar amount, people start to realize his or her boss and colleagues are the secret ingredients.  More money is nice but people will not give up good work environment easily. 

I don't think that leaving a job after years would be sensible, if not compulsory. Learning a new work process, building a new relationship with new colleagues would not be easy after a certain age.

Sounds like it went very well.  

This is actually the perfect length and to the point 😂
