You got holidays owing?

Hand in notice, inform last week of work you will be taking owed holidays..... FUCK YEAH!

I've got a few days yeah.

But I'll just get them to pay me out. I want to do my best to tie up loose ends here before I go anywhere.

[Emrico1]

Forget the guilt.

Motherfucker earned no respect. He rode you like a donkey, disrespected your work and treated you like a pesant.
That would have been the perfect time to blow up and say, consider this my notice OK!
He's never going to learn if people dance around for him.

[Pyromanik]

I'd have no regrets on walking out on a douchebag like that.
At the end of he day the clients are either getting rimjobs from him or they're equally as carefree about their work quality. They'll either go elsewhere where they get good service and good work, or shit all over their own stuff anyway, in which case they were probably arsehole clients who deserved it.

Perhaps your leaving will be the nail in the coffin for this dickbag.

So long and thanks for all the fish.



PS, Congratulations on the job!

Anyone offer any tips for writing a resignation letter?

I haven't written one since I was 14.

Saying "kthanx bai" after cleaning a butchery for 6 months.

Thank your employer for the opportunity, wish the company well, and state your finishing date.

basically;

Code: [Select]


To whom it may concern,

I hereby tender my resignation from all positions held with [co. name] effective from 31 July 2012.

I would like to formally thank the company for the opportunities presented to me and wish it the very best.

Regards,
Retardo.



Keep it short and to the point, all it's really there for is to confirm that written notice has been given.

[Retardobot]

Thanks Hori.

[Emrico1]

But fart on it just before you give it to him K

[Codex]

shitting on the letter before giving it to him would be too good a deed for the shitface

[Retardobot]

Well,

That all went better than expected.

He was hugely apologetic. Sad to see me go etc. Wanted to change my mind and match what Massey are offering (didn't say anything because I don't think he could match it, they are paying me more than what he was paying his most senior designer when I started here).

Way to little, way to late. I might want to stay if I was offered a pay rise earlier but now I feel he was just trying to ride me for as long as he could for as cheap as he could. Turns out he knows I'm worth more but didn't want to give me more until he really had to. But money isn't the reason why I am leaving, career advancement and a better working environment is why I am going to Massey.

Bit of an ego boost. However, he wants to get back to me on the date I have chosen to leave. I've given 2 weeks notice as stipulated in my contract but he's scared he isn't going to be able to replace me in time. Which is understandable.

Sigh.

[Pitchey]

A case of "You reap what you sow"

[Kopfjaeger]

^^ Indeed.  Gratz on the new gig must feel very satisfying.

[Retardobot]

It does.

Talking to some mates about replacing me and they're all NOPE when they hear how much I get paid.

Turns out I was getting well and TRULY shafted.

[Xenolightning]

Don't stick around after the 2 weeks, say that you start your new position immediately. If he is dumb enough to give you 2 weeks notice then abuse it.

Gratz on the job, may this thread be filled with less of Riis painful work stories in the future

[Retardobot]

I'd like to give him more than 2 weeks, but my contract only asks for 2 weeks.

I've requested that I finish on the 20th and my new position starts on the 23rd. So I don't have much room to barter with if he wants me to stay longer.

[frankytanky]

didn't that telecom guy get like 1.25 million for hanging around and helping the transition to the next guy? Its not unreasonable to ask for this.

Don't do it brah, captain milk milk (your boss) can just learn not to take employees for granted. 2 weeks, gone.

Besides, you need a few days off to recover.

[Pitchey]

True Rico, and you need to be fresh and ready for your NEW employer! Because their the ones paying you now!

[Pyromanik]

Oh yeah you were.
Not only the pay, but the hours. Oh god those hours. And the expectation to fill them when they're not required (and shouldn't be with proper management!).

Congratulations on the clean exit.

Good luck at Massey! Should be good for you :>

[Codex]

Completely ignoring what you were getting paid his work ethics promoting corner cutting and overall shitty rushed deadlines with sloppy guidelines is no place i'd want anyone to work.

[Retardobot]

Good points made by all.

Massey already want to take me out to drinks.

Epic job is epic and I haven't even started yet.

Also: TEENAGERS AND MOVIES. SHUT THE FUCK UP NARRATING YOU STUPID PIECES OF SHIT.

Which brings me to my next point; Spiderman. Big fat meh. Emma Stone however <>.

[Obble]

I wanted to take you out for drinks, they day i lay eyes on you bb.

[Dr Woomanchu]

You're young Ri. Ditch the guilt stuff. You had a contract with your current employer and you met the terms. You owe them nothing more, either morally, ethically or legally. Move on with a clear conscience.

[Tandoori]

It's just business.

[Retardobot]

Thanks guys.

Bloody women. I'm taking care of the dogs, the cat and the house for 3 months, I decide to send her flowers and packages of clothes she needs (at $20 a pop) and she wont even give me 2 minutes before she goes to bed to chat online. (She's on the other side of the world).

Sounds like a bitchy thing to complain about but home life is boring as fuck and I need to vent like a frustrated housewife.
