hmmm it's all very well and good to pontificate about "doing your homework", "knowing the pros and cons before joining", etc etc blah blah blah.
Except, that theory falls down when confronted with the reality that the company you joined is not the company it is today, or will be next month or year.
The same could be said for the majority of airlines nowadays since the industry as a whole has changed significantly from our perspective as drivers. I have friends at VS and CX who have said exactly the same after reminiscing about the company they joined so many years ago.
Rather than asking 'Am I happy in the company I am in?', the question some of us could well be asking in the years ahead is 'Am I happy in the
industry I am in?'.
