Giving up my safe governmental 7-3 office job? (sh.itjust.works)

I‘m thinking of ditching my very safe and very well paid office job with the option to work from home for a job in the field where I drive around and inspect buildings. Taxes included I’d get a 300€ paycut but would gain the ability to get paid for overtime, which I do not have at the moment. Also, due to austerity measures I have no chance of ever getting into a higher position at my current job.

I don’t know maybe I just want the validation of something I’ll do anyway, maybe I want to get shown what makes my current job better than the might-be one.

What do you mean by retirements aren't replaced. How do they fill those positions? If your manager or the head finance guy or chief of compliance or the person who does payroll retires, they have to be replaced.

    Well that’s the point, there’s so many managers that they load the work of the retirees off to the other managers. The positions just vanish.

    I’m seeing it in my current job as well. The quality of the job is slowly going down the drain because we get more and more tasks each time someone leaves or retires. We have been under replacement levels for 5-7 years now :/ lost at least 10% of the work force with no decrease on the expected production output. Just a directive of being more efficient. Obviously, shit is hitting the fan. I’ll have to see if this new wave of shit is enough to change the course, but I am serious considering if it’s worth staying in the long run. Shame because i really love the job (when I’m not drowning)
