I'm not happy here, and I'm afraid to quit.
This is a long one, so bare with me. Years ago I started my position with Nielsen as a Field Rep, and it was a complete 180 from what I did at my other job, which I loved. What drew me in, were the benefits (company car) because although I loved my... — read more
