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 per cent of Australian workers are not happy with their employer, but almost 50 per cent stick it out because they believe there are not many ideal companies around, a survey released recently 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 2000 people surveyed predominantly believed their company did not quite make the grade.
Just over 25 per cent of respondents claimed their company's record regarding staff morale was downright awful, 30 per cent said their working hours were too long and inflexible, 59 per cent reported that their offices are shoddy and drab, and 32 per cent said their wages were far too low.
"Employers must realise that the Australian workplace is an environment of low unemployment so they need to provide better working environments or risk losing staff," CEO of LinkMe.com.au Campbell Sallabank said.
Those that are deemed to be respectable and glamorous firms with great working conditions are few and far between.
Only 17 per cent said they believe they worked for an ideal company, while 33 per cent said the competition was tough to get into those types of firms.
Predominantly, staff morale (75 per cent), wages (68 per cent) and proximity to home (54 per cent) are the factors considered when determining the ideal companies.
"Workers should not hold back from trying to improve their office environment," Mr Sallabank said.
"There are all sorts of ways where employees can be successful in obtaining this but if attempts continually fall on deaf ears then voting with your feet is the best way to improve the situation as there are plenty of good employers out there."

“隔岸風(fēng)景好，鄰家芳草綠”在這里并不適用。 最近公布的一項調(diào)查顯示，近六成的澳大利亞員工對他們的雇主不滿，但有幾乎一半的人堅持不換工作，因為他們認為沒有那么多理想的公司可以選擇。
LinkMe.com.au 招聘網(wǎng)站的一份報告顯示，綜合考慮工作時間、員工士氣、勤奮程度、工資、企業(yè)形象、福利以及職位升遷等因素，2000名受訪者中的絕大多數(shù)認為他們的公司難以達標(biāo)。
超過25%的受訪者稱其公司員工士氣相當(dāng)?shù)吐洌?0%的人說他們的工作時間太長而且缺乏彈性，59%的人說他們的辦公室破舊簡陋，而32%的人認為工資太低。
LinkMe.com.au執(zhí)行總裁坎貝爾?薩拉班克說，“雇主們必須意識到，澳大利亞的失業(yè)人口數(shù)量少，所以他們要提供更好的工作環(huán)境，否則就會有員工流失。”
那些被認為工作條件好、具有吸引力的公司并不多見。
只有17%的人認為他們就職的公司很理想，而33%的人認為那些公司的求職競爭會相當(dāng)激烈。
對于絕大多數(shù)人來說，判斷公司是否理想要主要考慮員工士氣（75%）、工資（68%）、公司與家的距離（54%）等因素。
薩拉班克先生說，“員工不應(yīng)在試圖改善辦公環(huán)境這個問題上畏首畏尾。”
“他們可以通過各種各樣的辦法取得成功。但是如果自己的努力得不到重視，那最好的辦法就是走人了，因為有很多好公司等著你呢。”
