Handed in my notice!!!!

People are a pain in the ass

Wait till your boss tells you to choose 50% to go and you agonise, who has just had a baby, who has just bought a house, who is crap at their job etc.

Then you have the I don't earn enough, I am better than them etc.

My advice is avoid people responsibilities

I am already kind of managing 2 people already, due to my boss being involved in projects all the time. But I do his job with no reward.

Just by way of an update.......

I handed my notice in on Monday, next thing I know is.......I am in a meeting with senior management, saying "What can we offer you to stay?".

I am now moving from my Finance role into a project management role as a Business Support Analyst with a 27% pay increase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so chuffed, was looking forward to moving, but its nice to know how valued I was and they are going to support me through Prince 2, both parts......so yeh.

Or to look at it another way, what suddenly changed to make you worth 27% more?

I would have walked - and have done in the past.

If they can suddenly pay me more/move me now, why didnt they do that 3 months ago.

But I guess I have been messed around enough to know that you cant trust them

put does this mean you get your own pen?


well done

I did ask that question......they said that they were not aware of my aspirations. It turns out one of the senior Directors said that they were going to loose me from Finance either way but couldn't afford to loose my experience completely and there are a great deal of projects they wanted my help on, but couldn't as I was part of BAU.

good on ya Drew-

continuity with more money and a fresh challenge.
brilliant


agree on the managing people thing- I just manage the odd 100 for a couple of hours a day now and then never see them again-
its the future.

Not my own pen.....but do get a laptop.....lol (not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing)

Fair enough, although it sounds like one of your first jobs should be to over-haul the companies Review Process - where people see their career going in the next 6/12/24 months should be part of that.

Oh and while I was moaning I forgot to add

Woohoo Gratz

Congrats Drew!

I'm with SoulKiss, I'd of still walked. If it takes threats to make them wake up, it's just another sinking ship.
