Maybe It's Time
Have you ever had one of those moments when you feel like it's probably time to move on? I don't know if it was just me being overly tired and a little bit cranky, but I think that I caught a glimpse of the writing on the wall. My time with the bank may be coming to a close. No, I'm not going to quit tomorrow or even next week, but I am seriously considering leaving that job. I had originally quit almost a year ago as it is. Unfortunately, the reasons that I stayed don't hold much water anymore. I didn't really stay for the money, although the extra cash in the bank account helps increase our security. Plus if I really wanted to make money in the home mortgage industry, I would not be working for this particular bank! Call me crazy, but I really enjoyed the people that I worked with and didn't want to let go of those relationships. Fast forward eleven months and the iron thumb comes down every time I bring up a topic that isn't business related and most people's attitudes have turned very sour in general. I don't respect our CEO and think that most of the politics and policy are completely ridiculous and mostly anti-employee. They do absolutley nothing to attract and keep employees. It's a dead-end road. In our office things have changed a lot. I know that everyone there genuinely cares about my life, but I'm not really a part of things anymore especially since I have the most envyed schedule and position of anyone there! So, I'm starting to wonder if any of these people are really my friends and if they aren't does it make sense to stay in a job when your initial motivation no longer exists? Sure in a geeky way, I enjoy creating loan files and helping people buy houses (even if most of them are in Pahrump). But, I don't enjoy it enough to deal with the deterioration of morale that is apparent all around me. Every other week it seems, they try to convince me to take back my full time position and I gracefully decline when inside I'm really saying, "Hell no! Are you crazy?". It's been a good job. I've learned a lot and met some really good people who have nothing to do with church, but maybe it's time for me to ride off into the sunset and do what's right for me for a change. Contrary to popular belief, I think they'll survive.

Although I have had very little job experience, I decided after having a nightmare boss for a year and half that I'm not going to put up with bad situations in a job that really doesn't matter to me. I think you should just go on to something where you feel happier.
Thanks you guys! BTW white sheep- we really like to see credit scores in the 700s. Mid to upper 6s are ok but as you get closer to 500 it gets worse. 500 is bad, and lets not even talk about 400s! I've actually seen someone with a 430 score. Ouch! We are a portfolio lender which means that we don't sell our loans on the secondary market. This is good for people with lower credit scores, because we don't put as much importance on the score as other lenders do. We look at debt to income ratios and bank account balances as well as credit scores. Is that enough info? I'm going to have to start charging you for my time! lol.
geez. 400 is bad? what if you can't break the 250 barrier? actually I really don't know my score, but I bet its pretty bad...
