serious responses please
Because you are undermining your own cause to have an even better life. Just because you'll make double your current pay next year is pretty moot. You should be making 3-4x it based on the rest of the industry and coming here just slows that process down.
Then there are the lies spread by management about the rate they are hiring and thus the upgrade time. Sure if they hire people like you upgrades can be quick. But there aren't many like you out there.
Then there is the operation. Seriously it was somehow 100x better at the regional. This place is constant chaos, and doesn't give a F about you. You'll know what its really like to be just a number and nothing more. Every single day at work I have problems, its just sorely mismanaged and it really makes coming to work suck.
Just wait it out for a little longer for everyone's sake. It'll be worth it.
