Are you sick of your job? Why can't you leave?
It's_a_case_of_the_grass_not_being_any_greener_on_the_other_side.Nearly 60 percent of Australian workers are not happy with their employer, but almost 50 percent stick it out because they believe there are not many ideal companies around, a survey released shows.
The report by career networking site LinkMe.com.au found that after taking into account working hours, staff morale, industry, wages, image, charity support and career progression, the majority of the 2000 people surveyed believed their company did not quite reach the standard of an ideal company.
Problems are in various aspects.Just over 25 percent of respondents claimed their company's record regarding staff morale was downright awful, 30 percent said their working hours were too long and inflexible, 59 percent reported that their

offices are shoddy and dull, and 32 percent said their wages were far too low.And there are other problems such as little chance of promotion, bad relationships between colleagues, etc.
“Employers must realize that the Australian workplace is an environment of low unemployment, so they need to provide better working environments or they will risk losing staff，” CEO of LinkMe.com.au Campbell Sallabank said.
Those that are considered to be famous and attractive firms with great working conditions are few and far between.Only 17 percent said they worked for an ideal company, while 33 percent said the competition was tough to get into those types of ideal firms.
