| 689925 | 2008-07-18 08:58:00 | Entry level warehousing... with promotional prospects (very much lacking in my current job); and a non-a**hole boss (some people I know have known my new boss for some time) | Myth (110) | ||
| 689926 | 2008-07-18 09:05:00 | Pretty sure there is no such thing as a non-******* boss. Its part and parcel of the equation. | Metla (12) | ||
| 689927 | 2008-07-18 09:29:00 | Well yeah I guess... but here is just an example of thge sh*t I gotta put up with at the moment: scenario 1... he would 'prefer I got class 2 license as it would make things easier for the company, but the company will not contribute in case I leave soon after. I am sole income for 2 dependents... Him: "When are you going to get your license?" Me: "I can't afford to at the moment. I have been busy paying bills" Him: "Oh well, thats your hard luck then isn't it" Me: "Well yeah.. ok" .. he walks away scenario 2... when he found out I was looking for another job... Him: "..despite the fact we are quiet, I would never have considered laying you off. But now that I know you are thinking of leaving, you have left me no options and I will probably have to lay you off if things remain quiet" Seriously, I want to smack the bas***d over, which I know is instant dismissal. Better I leave... BTW, these are almost word for word quotes, no exaggerations |

| 689930 | 2008-07-18 09:52:00 | Well, I'm a firm believer in the company paying the cost of up-skilling the staff, It pays off for both parties, One of the reasons I push it is so people have more skills to help them into a better job.:crying That aside, If I learn someone is looking for other work, They do become the most disposible person on the payroll. |

I have only ever left one job soon after being upskilled, the genuine reasoning behind the resignation had nothing to do with the upskilling, and in my next role I didn't require that skill anyway That aside, If I learn someone is looking for other work, They do become the most disposible person on the payroll.True, but do you let them know that? To me its just another of his many little mindf++ks. Bosses like that soon lose my loyalty |
