Aussie workers 'cheating' on their employer Rather spend your days like this? Ben Southall was the envy of many when he won the Best Job in the World competition. Source: Supplied. AUSSIE workers are a disloyal bunch, with nine out of 10 'cheating' on their employer by fantasising about working somewhere else. Workplace website JobAdvisor surveyed 1000 Aussie workers and found around half were "window shopping for a new job." Another one third admitted to fantasising about working somewhere else, while nearly 10 per cent were caught having a "full blown love affair" with another company (i.e. they're desperate to leave their current job). Job Advisor CEO Justin Babet said the results aren't surprising considering how difficult it is to find the perfect relationship. We all know how hard it is to find true love in your personal life, let alone your career. But it's clear from our research that while many Australians claim to be in a 'happy' relationship with their employer, the vast majority don't feel like they've found their perfect match. The workplace website allows people to post reviews and search for companies online, with the anonymity allowing people to open up about what they really want from their work life according to Mr Babet. The survey results also showed that while around 40 per cent described themselves as being faithful to their employer and wouldn't leave, another 25 per cent considered themselves as "players" who would hop from one job to the next. Around 25 per cent described themselves as "gold diggers," who would go wherever they get the fattest pay cheque, while 13 per cent were commitment-phobes afraid to stay in the same place long-term. Another six per cent wanted to work close to home in a family business, while five per cent considered themselves "travellers" who were only there for the sake of a visa. Mr Babet said it's no coincidence people become disillusioned with their jobs quickly as the interview process is often like a series of speed dates that end up in a committed relationship. Around 25 per cent of people leave their job within the first 12 months, a lot of the time because the expectation wasn't right upfront or it wasn't what they thought it would be. "The reality is it's very difficult to truly know what a company is like until you've signed on the dotted line and have your feet under the desk; by that time, it's difficult to make a change," he said The survey also revealed women are more likely to "window shop" for new jobs, while men are more likely to fantasise about working somewhere else. City workers were also more volatile with 20 per cent describing their employer relationship as "on the rocks," compared to 10 per cent of regional workers. Those earning over $100,000 a year were also twice as likely to describe themselves as "gold diggers" as those earning less. Mr Babet said the company is launching Career Cupid Week to allow workers to check out other employers without the pressure of having to find a job. One of the limitations of job boards is that they're very reactive. Generally you use them if you've lost your job to look at what's on the market at that time. We believe it's smarter to take a proactive approach and a better question to ask rather than 'who's hiring?' is 'who would I like to work for?" he said.
