Yes! definitely, it's so different. It's been just a month now, and I really think life is going to be much better. I don't feel like I'm just another part that can be hot-swapped for anyone else, and I don't feel like I'm in danger of being let go without warning or reason. I've had some talks with my supervisor about the concerns I've carried over from my last job, and one of the things I keep getting told, first of all, is that the company has a really low turnover rate, and second of all, that they don't hire bad matches.
It seems like they've got a really good idea of what they're looking for and that they're pretty picky about it. That, and when I was told from HR on my first day how many people generally send in resumes to each of their job postings...it sounds like I was likely hired out of a pretty big pool. It really feels like something, that I was hired for who I am and the experience that I have, and not by virtue of the fact that I can manage to remember how to breathe on a consistent basis- and quite frankly, I'm not entirely convinced that was a hard requirement back at the puppy mill of tech support.
