Prayer request about my job

[peaceful-forest]

I have a prayer request about my job. This is something I've thought about for quite some time.

I haven't been happy with my current position and I'm not happy with the company I work for. It does have some good things about it, but I'm tired of the bad things that do go on at work.

I really hate how several of my coworkers are not dedicated to doing a good job. It's dramatically changed the past four years. The company went from "do it right the first time" to "do whatever you feel". I work with slackers that don't understand what the problem is. They're just there to collect a check, they don't really think about their work output and how it affects other people and the future of the company.

My current job, I took it because I was desperate to get out of another department. The managers had told us not too long ago that a new position would be opening up (one that I'm interested in), but nothing has been heard about since they announced it.

I've wanted to leave, but I don't know where to go. I've browsed the Internet for jobs, but I haven't found anything I like.

I would really like a job where I worked with people that shared similar work values, and one where I felt like I was making a difference.

Will you pray for me about finding another job? Thanks.

Heavenly Father, we pray you will guide peaceful forest to the better position you will for them, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Be sure to check what happens to any potential retirement consequences before you make a switch. Also, sometimes we are not called to the easiest places to work. Slackers exist nearly everywhere, but it sounds like there is more too it than just that. In the meantime, I pray you can be even more patient and continue there in good character until the next door opens. I pray too that you can take a step of faith if God is directing you to something else in your life, like a new town, career, ministry or even training. Often when I am agitated, it is because I stayed at a place too long. It is not always easy to move, but as you have that in your heart, I pray you get even more specific guidance and the right doors to open. God bless!

Small update: in my first post, I had mentioned there was going to be a new position opening up.

They finally posted it. I applied for it. I'm hoping the interview will be soon.

I've got an update, but not the big one.

My employer *finally* started doing interviews. It is in two sections. I completed the first one earlier this month. The second one hasn't been scheduled yet.

I really hope I get the job.
