Drugs, (and absurd job updates)

[Beany]

Probably. I don't care

[jamcg]

Keep us updated as to the threats/offers they use to try and keep you

[Beany]

Oh you knows it.

I suspect it'll either be very pleasant, or a full on gaslighting and threatfest....

[Gavster]

Bosses like that don’t lose their shit when people leave, because it’s obvious from their behaviour that they don’t value people in the first place. They see employees as replaceable utilities. That’s why they treat you like shit because they know they’ll find someone else who’s desperate for a job to fill the gap after you leave.

[Beany]

It'll be interesting to see if they even try to replace me. They went six months between ops leads before I started...
Not my problem.

[Beany]

References are glowing (and I didn't even fenagle them, just asked a couple of colleagues if they'd mind.

So it's all over bar the crying now.

Given the work I came into this morning, that'll be interesting.

[Beany]

I've just been annoyed and irritated so much by the office that I announced they'll have my notice by the end of the day.

I mean it would have happened anyway, but still.

Edit: notice given. Done.

[240PP]

That must have felt good

What was the reaction?

'Cool' because I only growled it at my 'manager' as I stormed out. But the MD has let some people know, so word is spreading "unofficially officially"

[duncs500]

Onwards and upwards.

Hooray, well done old Bean! When do we get the new car buying thread?

[Beany]

Hooray, well done old Bean! When do we get the new car buying thread?

Few other priorities first, then fix this car, then see if I fancy a change. Or possibly split something silly with my neighbour. There'll definitely be options there.

Are you balls deep in the Lidl checkout girls yet? Or was it Aldi?

Lidl, I have standards.

They're all very pleased for me I can finally buy that electric chainsaw when getting my eggs and milk.

Well, late June at least...

[mr_jon]

WD, Bean! Very much jealous. All the jobs I get put forward for are Leeds-way, bit of a commute unfortunately. I got asked to do someone else's job, by a subordinate, at 16:33 today Jog on, pal.

[Jobbo]

“Your leisure, my pleasure” but Spud gets the job Congrats, Bean - fantastic news.

Jobs up on indeed. They want to pay someone minimum wage to do carrier level telecoms routing, and they want a graduate who they'll pay just above minimum wage to run thier it/network ops 24/7.

Your can get paid better to stack shelves at Lidl for both those jobs. And most graduate jobs start at.... Rather higher than that.

Several senior (in terms of experience and knowledge) staff are seeing how this is playing out and are updating thier CVs - enough of them to cripple the business operationally.

This gets more hilarious every day.

In the meantime, my new sponsors have let me know my hardware options, etc.

[jamcg]

Seems like your bosses are about to learn an important lesson- fuck people over and they’ll fuck you right back

[Beany]

No need to fuck anyone. They're fucking themselves with aplomb.
