Time for a new job

So my company required that we all take a DiSC Survey. For those not in the know this is: a personality behavioral profile system based on the work of William Marston, a psychologist. It's a bit like Myers Briggs-- and based on the survey you take it quantitatively characterizes your scores in each of 4 areas- Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness.-- all related to work, not general life.

So being the good employee I try to be, I completed this survey and discovered that I am strong in Conscientiousness and have a perfectionist profile; which means I like to be accurate and orderly, that I need clearly defined performance expectations and seek a stable environment in which to work.

Not a big surprise. However, in the job I currently hold, my job is not clearly defined, I answer to 5 different bosses with no rhyme or reason which makes it impossible to provide extraordinary results because no matter what work I do they will always seek more. In addition the company experiences a high level of “quitties” this is a term I coined for people who join the staff thinking they can accomplish change and they do for about 2 months, than the reality sets in, the honeymoon is over and they get so much push back they are no longer able to effect any change. This results in half finished processes and procedures and an overall malaise of the employees; in the end they leave to find greener pastures.

I think it is time for my search of greener pastures; I am underpaid, overworked and underappreciated. This survey confirmed for me what I have known for a long time: This company is not a right fit.

Thanks DiSC survey…
