Right, well, I've had a lot of people getting in touch to ask why I haven't been on the org recently, so I decided I'd stick up a post about it to save me repeating myself over & over.
As most folk on the org know, I'd been getting more & more frustrated with work (I'd posted/vented about it before).
Then came the day that I decided to do something about it, so I asked for a meeting to discuss the issues as I saw them, with my boss, and two company directors. This was greeted with a response of "Why don't you come to a disciplinary hearing instead." It was a regular occurence that I was threatened with being sacked before, but then they realised why it wasn't a great idea.
So I got into the meeting, and accepted everything they said (with tightly clenched fists/teeth), then stated my side of events, followed by "I've already typed out my resignation, and it's ready to send as soon as I get back to my desk." The ensuring conversation resulted in me not being forced to work my notice.
I said before that I only used to post when I'm bored at work, and I'm not working these days, so I'm not posting.
TBH, I'm not entirely sure where life will lead me from here, but it's the best thing I've done in a long time. I left the company that I wasn't happy with, and I've still been paid (and I'm still getting paid) by them; so I've been spending the time with the family. Sunny day's on secluded beaches rock when you're not working but still earning. Taking my daughter horse riding, my son go-karting etc etc.
Only now has become time to start job hunting again, so chances are, I'll be posting again soon.
The internet connection at home hasn't been working for a long time, so I intend to sort that out soon too. At the moment, I'm doing a 'hovis' and posting from the library.
For those that got in touch (by any means), it's greatly appreciated folks, I was genuinely shocked by how many of you posted/messaged me to ask if things were ok. They're more than OK, they're fantastic. Can't say the same for when I start working again though.
Should anyone else want to get in touch, I won't be able to reply instantly (unlike when I was working) but I'll reply in one way or another.
