I lost my job!

[Rezz]

To cut a long story short I've been made 'redundant'... suddenly. I had NO IDEA that the company was in such bad shape. Well, I also just learnt that my boss has fled the country!??!

It's the strangest situation... but I'm not cut in the slightest as I was really getting tired of teaching anyway.

Well, it seems this is the time to make a final exit from Japan, I'll probably hang around for another month or so, then it's back to AU for me! Woohoo! :bananaman

I don't want to let fly what I'll do in AU just yet so as not to give myself bad luck or anything (touch wood).

[Poida]

wowo rezz san... its gunna be sad to see you go after all the work and posts you've put in on this forum! I hope you hang around in the future!!

[shodo]

Rezz, sorry to hear about that unfortunate situation. Ive heard similar stories in the past of how school operators suddenly disappeared and then paid for it years down the road.

All I can say is that it was nice meeting you at Central a few weeks back, and ill try and expose 23% of what you have accomplished here in Japan with regards to media.

That is not so good news,but it sounds like you have a

backup plan.

[PhantomS14]

That sucks Rezz but at least I guess you were thinking of getting out soon. Good luck.

You will now need to pass on the mantle of reporting all things from J Land to a new and worthy successor!

[TracidTrax]

Hmmmm, who might that be?

No seriously, is there any Aussie around that would have the time and patience to do such a thing?

I'm either going to go to Perth (family) or Brisbane (work). I'd prfer to go to Perth obviously, but in Brisbane a good friend of mine is setting up a company so I'd really like to be a part of that. Yes, a Japanese automotive orientated company

bummer about the job loss mate. I am hoping they will pay all your entitlements.

Best of luck with the pulling out of japan

[geno8r]

I saw the thread title "I lost my job" & then seen the last post by "Beer Baron" underneath and automatically thought Beer baron must have been caught drinking on the job & got fired... Lol

Bad luck Rezz, I been made redundant once before, it’s a shock because you have no idea the company was in sh#t. Was all good, got another fulltime job 2 weeks later. & in your case you get come back to Oz which is also good. Gona miss your photos from Japan tho...

When I got your message I got on the wrong train! Sorry to hear it buddy!

I finish at 9pm tonight, so it might be too late. But give me a call if you are up for anything tomorrow.

[West]

Sorry to hear Rezz, well it's time you need a break wouldn't ya? I'm sure there are plenty of English teaching school over there, i hear they advertise on the radio all freaking day anyway.

Maybe come back here for a break and come back there continue the journey mate.

[Rezz]

@ West: Cheers mate, but the journey is definately over... I'm now more in the mood to help Japanese (the cool ones hahaha) when they come to AU to live or study or whatever... kind of the next step? At any rate, one things for sure and that is *I don't wanna teach English ever again!*

@ geno8r: There had to be an end to the reports from Japan sometime I guess. But I'll always have my contacts and friends here in Japan so it's not the absolute end. But as for the weekly updates etc... yeah, I'm gobnna have to find someone to replace me... if anyones up for that kind of thing???

@ Gojira: no worries moite, will def do something tomorrow. Will mail you.

[totoro]

sorry to hear the terrible cut BUT i hope in few years time you can look back and see it as a blessing and by the thread you got something up your sleeves so should be fun! give me a yell when you are in perth... should go for a cruise or something with the SAU boys....

it will be great if someone else can look after this section.... anyone over there???

[akeenan]

bad luck rezz ... I'm having a few visa worries at the moment ... hopefully they will be cleared up in the next few days...

good luck with the move

[GTRSRULE!!!]

bad luck there mate. atleast u have something lined up over here.

[Mooks]

Justin,

Sorry to hear about your job but I am sure you are ready to leave anyway.

May be another possibility is working in the Travel Industry as you have an understanding of the Japanese culture and Australian culture so I am sure you can put a package tour to show the best of Japan or Australia.

btw, have you heard from Troy as I emailed him a while back and heard nothing.

Brisbane..QLD has best growth in the country by a mile.. therefore best place to setup a new business

Bit funny how was so sudden though!

[Rezz]

@ Predator: Yeah it was sudden, but that was the nature of the situation though, fine one day, crap the next! Just like that Queensland tourism campaign in the 80's yeah?

@ Anthony: Will PM you mate with the low down... Troys been busy.
