Hi guys I'm new here and have sought a christian forum out because I really don't know where to to go about this.
My problem seems pretty small compared to some of your prayer requests but its been bothering me none the less so here goes:
I've been working the in computer/Information technologies industry for a number of years and got myself into a position that required me to work long hours (at times) and be on call when I wasn't working. To make matters worse my boss at the time told me that a new process would be put into place that would require me to work even more if requested. With my wedding coming up I decided with much heartache that this was not the environment I wanted my families first year to take root in so I took a step down to a technical support position.
now 6 months into this new position I feel totally unchallanged and basically didn't get a promotion to a leadership position in this new group. Beyond that The manager of the previous group has basically made things so that if anything they are working less than we were when I was there. I've been applying to other jobs but with this economy can't seem to find anything.
Right now I just feel ripped off and angry but at the same time I'm just trying to trust God and be obediant to Him. I know I should be thankfull that I have a job at all especailly with the layoffs happening at other companies and stuff but I can't help feeling like I've basically been thrown to the bottom again.
My wife (we got married a month ago) and I were talking about her quiting her job (and hour + 1/2 commute for her one way) and takeing a part time job locally so that she could focus on finishing up school. If we can afford that it will make changing jobs so much harder as I will be the sole income for the family.
Please any prayer or advice would be greatly appreciated.
