Dohmar Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) well i threw in the towel today have been in a dead end job for far too long. gave notice today... and today is my last day i am gonna be starting with Telstra on wednesday horay for me !!! Heh I know how you feel. I only recently started in my current job (4 weeks in now) and before that I was working at a dodgy computer sales/repair shop in Salisbury.... I was there 2 weeks and the boss's attitude was absolutely abysmal.... after he childishly berated one of the sales staff (who was doing a good job imho) I went to lunch and never went back. Took me 4 weeks to get any payment out of them, and even then they decided to try n make it hard by taxing me at 47%.. Happy now. I don't suffer fools, and nobody else should. Except perhaps Mr T, who thinks everyone is a fool. -D Edited April 9, 2008 by Dohmar Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/214136-i-quit-my-job-today/page/2/#findComment-3782411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyRS4 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 There is always someone who can do a job better and for less money.Everyone is replaceable. Ha! Not me. Did I mention I started the business for the Partners over 8 years ago? I've got a Bachelor of Business, Masters in Business, as well as MYOB teaching qualifications, qualifications in Accounting, qualifications in Drafting, and I have alot of experience in IT hardware/software installations and setting up of business networks. Trust me, there is no one out there with the amount of muti-skilling I have. I cover all areas of the business, including IT, Bookkeeping, Drafting, Managerial Tasks, Information Systems, Marketing; except the planning consulting itself. My salary is a 'little' higher than working at Maccas.

That door swings two ways. This bloke actually went thru 4-5 technicians a year due to his lack of people skills, that was (by the store managers estimate) at least 20 odd in the last 5 years that he had been working there (and the manager, sales people and technicians all hated working for the guy, problem being with kids on the way you cant just quit).. me, I haven't got that problem, so I was gone when I knew that it was a dead end job.... guy tried to threaten me on the phone when I told him I quit, and I just simply said that any threats would only convince me that I was making the right move. People don't have to put up with bullying in the workplace, of any sort. People like that generally blame the worker, when in actual fact they really need to work on their own mismanagement/people issues. -D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/214136-i-quit-my-job-today/page/2/#findComment-3782517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
