GarethRDR Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The work can be dull, some of the people/departments are complete crotchwombles (HR, Marketing, Directors) but I'm in a small team, we're all good friends and we have a good laugh. This morning, for example, my manager was recapping the meeting he had to go to yesterday which involved having to review a health leaflet on unprotected homosexual intercourse.

CrackpotForeigner Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) I like my job a lot, but it's tiresome having to deal with arseholes barking instructions all the time. Honestly sometimes I wonder how they managed to get a job at mission control. Edit: This was a joke btw. Borderline mildly amusing if I say so myself.

Rodders Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 so glad I've quit. Since handing in my notice, they've introduced call recording / monitoring and the most absurd script to follow. Can't believe such a large company can be so brainless in thinking this is a good idea / anything either the customer or worker wants to endure. Fortunately, I have 6 working days to go, so I can afford to completely ignore this. Oh and they've also removed flexitime and resorted to fixed 9-5 again. Ok, most people have fixed patterns anyway, but when you have something much better and it's taken away for daft reasons, it's just another reason to question the sanity of management.

I've worked at helpdesk in ISP for what feels like an eternity, and I quit too after they've made several changes and I have just four days left. Good riddance.

Xela Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'd love to take a sabbatical and just doss around for a year or two.

Did you quit with no job back up? Managed to find work since? The time is nearly upon me to quit, I'd love some time off, I do have a few interviews over the next few days though.

I was applying for another option but aware it was high risk. I was able to save up a fair bit so I'm ok for now. Will have to start looking in a month or so. I just really needed the time off to reassess. I'm going to be 29 soon and will be having to reboot my plans but before that I'm going to enjoy life for a little bit! Again, acknowledging the fact i am lucky I'm able to use some savings but bugger it, emotional well being > house deposit this time Edited April 24, 2014 by Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
