The Worklife Bowl

Program Analyst

Hello, I just recently left my job as a Program Analyst for a County Department of Human Services because I had lost all motivation and there was no room for growth. I accepted an offer for a job that I am supposed to begin on the 22nd back with the state but I don't really want it and mainly just used it as a tool to get out of the previous job. I want to just decline it because I'm tired of settling for jobs I don't really want.
