Time to move on? (New job? major rant!)

[dangerous]

And Dangerous, what are you up to eh? Is everyone leaving. Was wondering how come you have been on line in the middle of the day - or was it the snow?

Na last 2 weeks its been cos of the chicken pox.... dont bloody laugh, it fuking hurt.
But as of yesterday I quit.... boss has disapointed me big time, dont deserve that shit after 5 yrs of working my arse off so he can build $2m house and have over seas trips.
I start a new job later next week, theres only one um..................... fuk um

[madboy]

Well done Tony. Guess we've all been there, done that, and in the end the sun always shines. Although in no where near as horrid position as you described, I've been a little disappointed with my crowd for a time. Casually put my feelers out a few months ago, just in case something popped up. Being in a specialised field, they don't pop up that much. Then I get an e-mail from the manager at a particular outfit, am I interested? Yeah, why not... so we had a 2 hour interview (1.45 chatting and 15 min std HR type questions)... got me a $13k payrise outta it too...

Good things come to those who wait Hope the new one turns out well for ya!!

[Joni]

Good things come to those who wait

Hmm, yes I know it was not directed at me at all... but I needed to hear that too today.

[jrandom]

You have a good case for constructive dismissal...

tut tut, keep up at the back and read the thread already boyo.

anyways Tony wasn't saying they were threatening to let him go, just making his life hell, cant get in legal trouble for being a crap boss if you still pay people on time and dont fire them without due cause. unfortunately. constructive dismissal doesnt apply until they, you know, DISMISS ya. you cant take someone to court on that basis if you resign voluntarily!

but WELL DONE, TonyB. been there myself. you did the right thing, and youll be deliriously happy for a while now every time you think about it. great stuff. nice to see good things happening in peoples lives now and then. I cant take too much of it, though, so someone better screw up bigtime and let me mock them real soon now.

bad day, Joni?

go for a ride.

on your bike, that is.

it makes everything better.

[erik]

Just saw this thread now. Bloody good to hear it all worked out!
Makes me wonder if I'll go through any of the same stuff after getting out of uni.

[k14]

Good stuff tony, $5k extra aye?? Now you'll have even more $$$ to spend on ya bucket, then ya might be able to beat me.

Don't worry mate - you'll see me again soon.

[Joni]

*shudder*

:spudwave:

[TonyB]

Thanks everyone!

Hmmm now, lets see. YOUR bucket has mostly functional suspension and slicks. MY bucket has a reasonable front end, but the shocks are completely farked. MY bucket has 18" Yokohama's- not made since the Kobi earthquake.

Might?

[texmo]

good on ya tony.... make sure to do as little work as possible in your remaning days and sleeping at the desk is a must!

.

Constructive dismissal is when they deliberately make work so unpleasant that you have no choice but to resign. They don't actually have to dismiss you.

[vifferman]

Well that's good news, Tony (and Dangerous).

Hope things work out well for both of you in your new jobs.


Um... anyone got a new job for me? At the moment I'm thinking of chucking in this IT crap, and getting a job grooming cars/bikes, or summat.

Constructive dismissal is when they deliberately make work so unpleasant that you have no choice but to resign. They don't actually have to dismiss you.

Also, if you have a staff member who is crap at something, and you offer up a course for them to go on.

If they refuse and ask you what will happen if they don't do it, and you happen to mention the word fired, you are

ie, it was pre-planned. Very bad... Dad got done with that one from an employee...

oh, is it? dunno why I thought otherwise.

suppose I should really read up on that before spouting off.
