This answer will be a dash of truism with some sage advice.
You don't live to work, you work to live. I almost lost my wife to work (She's a wonderful person who is very understanding, if you're reading this).
With that said:
Ask yourself these questions:
- Do I like what I do?
- Am I compensated enough to make me want to stay?
- Do I have a good work/life balance (on average)?
- Have I been here less than 3 years?
If you answer "no" to 2 or more, I would polish up my resume and come in this weekend
If you answer "no" to all 4, polish up your resume, and refuse to come in.
How to do it:
- Unplug your answering machine
- cut out a few minutes early on Friday
- DO NOT WAIT FOR YOUR PROGRAM TO FINISH BACKING UP TO FLOPPY
- Don't answer your desk phone if the extension is Miltons'
- Go to a hypnotherapist.
