Walter Said:

Should I make a career change? No Idea what i would change to though!?

We Answered:

OK, I am in much the same position as you (although not the same industry). I finally decided to quit my job, although I don't have anything lined up. (I have a supportive husband, and children to take care of at home though...lol).

If there are days that you are not doing work at all, and "bullshitting" your way through meetings, then you are doing yourself and your company a dis-service. This is know in business as ToT (theft of time)... making your employer pay you while doing no work. To non-managers, this sounds "Polly-Anna-ish"; however, managers understand that the bottom line is that the company is not getting what they paid for, and this hurts the bottom line. Productivity of employees directly affects a company's profits and growth, and good managers recognize this (whether they approach an employee about it or not). Although you have managed to pull your way through it so far, eventually, it will catch up to you, and you will be reprimanded or terminated. Neither looks good on your resume/CV.

So my recommendation is to do some soul-searching (during your "off time"), and work hard at your job while you're at work. Maybe contact some staffing agencies to see what a recruiter would recommend with your skills. If you have an understanding boss (not all of us do, but if you do), then talk with your boss about the fact that you are no longer happy in the position that you are in, and ask if there are any other job openings within the company that you may be qualified for that may fit better with your interests. Alternatively, try to work out with your boss a position that you may enjoy more, even if it means more education, etc., and plan for a transition to a different position. Most bosses would be happy to help you get where you're going to be happiest (as long as it's not their job...lol).

Hope this helps!
