You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
先月、戻ってこないかと誘ってくれた上司のもとで働くメンバーといっしょに食事をしてきた。
I had dinner with a former colleague who used to work with me and is currently working at the company that recently invited me to return.
今の職場が抱える現状や、わたしがいた当時との違い、その後のチームやメンバーの変化などを聞くのが今日の目的。その友人は男なので、今晩のメニューは豚山である。もちろん、双方の好きな食べ物である。
Over Jiro-style ramen, the purpose of tonight’s dinner was to hear his honest opinion about the company—its issues and how things have changed since I worked there. We chose Butayama because we both love Jiro-style ramen.
ラーメンを食べる列に並びながら、お互いの近況報告をしつつ、仕事について話をしてきた。
While waiting in line, we caught up and talked about our jobs.
やっぱり話を聞いていると、いろいろトラブルも起こるけれども、現場を動かしているのは楽しそう。なにより、一緒に働くメンバーが信頼できることがなにより羨ましい。
After listening to his comments, it seems like he’s really enjoying his work in the construction phase. More than anything, I envy him for being able to work with reliable team members.
正直、年収が下がるのはショックだけど、前回と同じ水準に戻ると思えば悪くはないのかなと。お金をたくさんもらっても、今の仕事はつまらないし、なにより成長性を感じない。辞める方向でよく考えたい。
Honestly, I’d be a little disappointed to take a significant pay cut. However, the income would be about the same as when I worked at my second previous company, which isn’t too bad. Even though I make more money now, the role itself is quite boring—and I don’t feel like I’m growing in terms of skills. I’ll carefully consider my situation and whether or not I should make the move.
To be continued.
