I Have Accepted My Fate
I've accepted it. I know I'll be in this job until I die or get fired.

I'm an inventory control manager for a small retail company. I like the job, and some of the benefits, especially having a flexible schedule and the opportunity to work from home once in awhile. But I've been here 6 years, asked to fix inventory issues, but others, who have been here much longer, go crying back to the owners when I try to fix issues, and he allows them to go back to the way they were doing it, so nothing ever gets fixed. I've been applying for jobs consistently the last 4 years, but only had a handful of interviews that went nowhere. So, I'm just giving up

@Lostinthefog have you considered starting your own business on the side? Consulting with companies who need help with inventory control issues? You know your job. Is it possible to become your own boss? Starting with one or two clients, and getting more as you go through recommendations from satisfied customers?
Just a suggestion! I started my own business when I was in my mid thirties, but lost most of my clients when my mom died and I was away dealing with clearing out the house and getting it sold, so started all over again in my early fifties. It wasn't easy, but I did it.

@Lostinthefog Giving up in your early forties isn't the best thing you can do. You have at least another twenty or more years of working ahead, unless you've built up a healthy retirement fund and can retire at fifty.
