Working notice

Post by Jimmy Choo »

God, this is a pain in the backside. I've got a great new job starting on 21st but I've got two weeks to sort out the handover at the old job.

And I'm mostly dicking about rather than achieving stuff. :oops:

Mine was worse. It was over a TOTALLY DEAD period that stretched over the long hot summer :lol:

An hour each way to sit in a site office and have fuck all to do except watch the clock inch its way around to knocking off time. It was awful.

That's no use to anyone. I've taken gardening leave in that situation and it benefits everyone. Any company worth a damn wouldn't want someone who's leaving sitting idly twiddling their thumbs for months with access to all their data / contacts etc.

When I took voluntary redundancy they made us wait nearly two years before leaving. Was fucking hell.

That's true. First time I handed my notice in I was locked in the boardroom, then given no computer access or the use of a phone for 2 weeks after.

The next time I resigned they got a letter and instructions where their company car could be found. 😁
