Hmm.
Home life is pleasantly constant.
Work, well the worst year of my 35 years in work. No pay rise yet our profit is up greatly – tired old excuse of the “Global recession”. I’ve worked a total of 14 “Ghosters” in 2010 (Where I worked all night after Dinner and gone to work afterwards at 7am). Such is the understaffing policy. And I don’t get paid overtime of course. They don’t assist employess in any way whatsoever “If you don’t like it then feck-off” being the prime attitude. We can’t do so, being stuck on an Island. Worst employer ever, I’ve worked for 6 major employers and learned about hundreds.
I’ve been in this job 4 years and have been digging the escape tunnel for 3 of them. Job offers don’t come towards old gits. It was too late to change my mind after a year, having moved off the mainland etc.
Hopefully 2011 will see me get another job, and hopefully I can hand in my 4 weeks notice…less holidays and be gone in a week. Whenever I’ve left previous employers I have gon out of my way to ensure a good handover, I’ve even been available to be contacted afterwards. “Never burn a bridge”. When I leave this place, they can rot and burn. I will only assist a few people that I value there. In fact, there is a potential Court case between them and an aeroplane OEM. If I’ve left I’d join the other team for a fee, and join this employers team for a higher fee.
“Find a job you love and you’ll never do a days work in your life” is SO SO SO SO true.
Stuck in a job you hate is possibly as bad as being stuck in a marriage you hate. Maybe worse, there’s more partners out there than jobs!
There, vitriole vented!
Happy Buddhamas, or whatever it is theis year.
