Why such job change suddenly?

Sorry to hear that, but I'm sure you can bounce back.\n\nYou asked why. The new economy is pretty much like an Olympic economy, where companies hire the very best (which they call the "talent"), even if the best can be found in other countries like India.\n\n4,000 people have recently been laid off by Bell Canada, and I expect the same to continue. People don't have to feel down or depressed, it's just business. \n\nI'm sure you do have core skills that you can redeploy in another job since, after all, you held a management job. \n\nI give career workshops and I always tell participants: never rely on the employer for lifetime employment. Instead, rely 100% on yourself to remain employable. That is, invest as much as you can in reading books, attending seminars, etc.\n\nCompanies are like machines, they are extremely predictable. If you are the best at a function they need, they will hire you, at a high salary and in the best working conditions.

I think you're overthinking this.  I mean, people make mistakes and people will get irate over them.  You did your job, and correctly, I don't think you have much to worry about.  Also, it sounds like you're in a customer service position...take some advise and get used to it now, it only gets worse.  :)

I can relate to jumping from job to job.  I realized it's because I hadn't figured out what I really wanted to do.  Circumstance led me to my career, so I would change companies thinking the problem was with the situation at the company.  Sure enough, after awhile, I would feel dissatisfied again.  It is amazing that you recognize this now.  \n\nThere are a few ways to make a transition.  Becaue oil companies are large, you could look at different jobs within the company.  You could also assess the types of skills you use for your job (i.e., scheduling, coordinating, logistics, communicating) and look at what other types of jobs use these skills.  As you've identified, you can continue upgrading your education.\n\nWhat I would highly recommend is first figuring out what you want to do.  What do you LOVE to do?  What gets you excited?  Then think about what types of careers may allow you to do this.  If you need help with this, post another question ;).\n\nThen, you will need to assess how to transition to what you are passionate about.  Can you first make an industry change?  Is it education/training you need?  Can you do a job change?  It might not be instantaneous, but view each step as getting you closer to where you want to be.  \n\nIn the meantime, appreciate that you are good at what you do and that you have a good company.  This is the ideal situation to be in while you assess what you want to do for a career.

If you want to change jobs, then change.  Will you succeed?  You won't know that answer until after the change.

sometimes situations cause us to rethink our career choices.\nif someone died while you worked there then i would take some much needed time away from this job until you can rethink it all over. if you love the medical field you will return. just because you got fired from one job does not mean you will get fired from another one. confidence is one of the keys in life we must maintain. don't fret over being fired...that was not the right place for you.

I went through the same thing at my job and I went to my immediate supervisor and explained what I was feeling and asked for something different to learn about the company.  I was a good worker so they started expanding my responsibilities and giving me more challenging options to deal with.  It helped a lot!  Good luck!

IMHO there are a few things that define a moment when u should start thinking for a job change... \n1) crazy work conditions - including stupid boss, crazy work timings\n2) no learning involved \n3) humiliation \n4) very less pay package (an imp reason)\n\nJust check if ur conditions satisfy any of these. u could add some more to the list (do not forget to tell me the additional points) and then contemplate if u wanna change or not.

Sounds to me like the worker has been turned into a de facto non-worker. I guess the 'stop field working' notice amounted to a 'we aren't paying' notice, and now the worker is on indefinite leave without pay.

Somehow, people with a sense of loyalty have trouble changing jobs.  I am looking to quit a horrible job, but I am having pangs of guilt.  These people would fire me at the drop of a hat even though I have worked very hard for a few years,\n\nThink of what is best for you.  Nobody is irreplaceable and they will easily find someone else for your current position if you decide to move on.  You are not the first, nor will you be the last person to do what you are contemplating.  If it is better for you to make the move, don't lose the opportunity,  But be sure to secure the job before you let your current boss know what you are planning to do.

You may be safe in changing jobs now. But do you really want to take a chance Immagration may  take offense of your doing so while in the middle of your application process? I personally think you should be able to change your job when ever you feel so inclined. However, why take a chance that somebody may take it as a sign of immaturity, insecurity in the work force or worse just plain instability?\n\nSo, even though you may be able to change jobs, I would reccomend you just stay put for now, finish your application process, then change jobs. It just seems much more safer than risking anybody attempting to use your change of job as a negitive sign of instability. If you are not in terrible work conditions, being abused emotionally, taken advantage of, or any other situation which creates a hostile work enviroment, just stay where you are. Unless the job you are considering is a much better paying, which would demonstrate an upward mobility and an increased ability to pay taxes, which the government would love!\n\nWhat ever you decide needs to be your own decision though. You can get advice, listen to what others have to say, but in the long run this is your life and what you decide will effect your life, the lives of you family and loved ones. So, evaluate your life situation, compare different scenario's and make the best decision you can. That is all you can expect of your self or anybody else, just to do the best with what information you currently have.\n\nGood luck in choosing the best path you can, and much happiness always.

If your paychecks are being delayed, that means that this company's having a serious cashflow problem and probably won't be in business for very much longer.  You need to dust off the old resume and start pounding the pavement looking for a new job (preferably one that isn't about to go into bankruptcy).  Good Luck.

It depends, why do you want to seek a new job?  \n\nIf you have a habit of switching jobs often (every few months) then you might just want see why that is?  Are you being too picky about the job? Or, do you not get along w/ people at your job?  If its something that you're doing, like being defensive or something like that, then try to change your behavior to see if that helps any. \n\nIf you want to change jobs because you don't like the environment and you don't see yourself learning anything or advancing anywere then I suggest you look for another job.  \n\nI would definitely keep the current job until you find something else.  And just remember, you will have to give a reason for why you left so try to make it a good one.

It sounds like you might be worried about your job. It wouldn't hurt to go hunting for a new job on the side..considering your employer might be in some financial trouble. It's better to get out when the getting is good, so to speak.
