So...I'm a bank teller, and I rather like my job. I do NOT, however, like the people I work with. There are two tellers at my branch besides me; one is annoying, rude, immature, and did I mention annoying? The other is older, but she's so damn moody, if you look the wrong way at her, she's pissed off for the rest of the day.

Another branch's teller is on vacation this week, and I was elected to fill in for her (which I didn't mind a bit.)

Today...I found out they have a teller position open. Now I have a bit of a dilemma.

On one hand, I love the second branch. It's busier, and the day goes by so much faster when you're actually working as opposed to watching cars go by and waiting on one or two customers an hour. It's also more professional, better staffed, and I've worked there before. (I worked for the same bank three years ago, and left when I got married and moved out of state.)

Sounds great so far, doesn't it? I transfer, become a much happier person, and stop dreading going to work everyday.

Well...at my "home branch," I'm the only full time teller. The older teller used to be full time, but switched to part time because it was "too stressful." (She'd go back to full time if I left.) The branch assistant (who's great) and I are the only ones who can properly open new accounts. We also seem to be the only two that know how to multi-task. I'm the only one who knows how the ATM works, and the only one that doesn't regularly miss work.

Basically, I feel like if I left, I'd be screwing everyone over. Sort of a "well, I'm happy, so good luck dealing with everything" situation. On the other hand, I hate going to work now, because I'm so tired of dealing with mood swings, immaturity, fixing other people's mistakes, and getting most of the workload because I'm the dependable one.

So...I can make myself happier, but feel guilty about it....or stay where I am, unhappy, but at least knowing I'm not screwing the managers.

Advice anyone?
