Would you take a job paying less if you hated where you were?
I have been employed at my current job for the past four months and although I like what I do (I'm in advertising) I don't like my boss or his wife. Yes his wife works in the same office and she is soooo unfriendly, both of them are. My desk is situated right across from hers and every 15 seconds or so she glances up and looks at me (my guess is to make sure I'm doing work), it drives me crazy. Then I have to visit clients on a regular basis which I love but my boss does not reimburse me for gas. He has once after I asked him several times. He hasn't since then and being the unapproachable person that he is I really don't like asking him. This is something that should be automatic, not what I have to beg for. I was working for the human resources department in government before this and foolishly left thinking the grass was greener on the other side, but its not! I tried to get back in but it wasn't happening until this morning when I was offered a similar position, but less money then I am making here. At this point it doesn't even matter that much because all I want is peace of mind. Not to mention the benefits of working for government.
So I ask, would you take a job that pays less if it meant you being happier?
