I made a decision, a tough one at that and I hope to look back 20 years from now and laugh about it. I left my job so now you can all have have a kick out of it, unemployed peasant with a crumbling "garage". Good times ahead \:\/

Word of advice to people looking for jobs, be very careful especially now with companies doing shady shit (small and mid sized ones) and all kinds of cuts to save money (cue c2k). If you are going to sign the dotted line make sure you talk to someone from the company prior...even if it means waiting in the parking lot outside and approaching someone. That's the biggest mistake i made so now i am going to pay for it.

I am not going to talk about the details since I was considered "mangement" and I have to uphold some bullshit policy, but I am going to see councel tomorrow and we will see how this pans out. The company already has pending charges against them over labour disputes so I am not the first one. Go figure.

Damn...well, I'm sure it was a tough decision to make and I hope it ends up positive for you in the long run.

I too have concerns about some of the things I signed up to when I joined my current company, but it was a bit of all or nothing kind of thing. People can speak very easy about negotiating all terms and conditions, but there comes a point where too much push back can sweep the offer out right from under you. Team player, loyalty, and all that jazz.

Good thing you bought the BMW a few weeks ago cause you likely wouldn't be now. Good luck to you!

Did you use the line: "Allah is testing me..." ?

We can stand in line together at the soup kitchen, McD's until the free coffee runs out, and hard park by the car wash.

There is no story, no drama. They pushed and pushed, I was the only person going in the trenches and they still shit on me. They then continued to push and I took it, you guys know I was working retarded hours, which is cool but when you get shit on it's just not healthy. I've probably averaged 60hrs mon-fri and then another 15-20 on the weekends, so close to 80 hours a week.

I don't need some stupid cunts who don't know A FUCKING thing, but just want to powertrip on everyone ruining my fucking life. In 2 months there has been 50% turnover and I know right now a few key people who have 1 foot out the door already. After all my efforts i got shit on again this week and i just dropped everything, said 'fuck it' and walked out.

You should have just left without telling anyone. It would be interesteing to see how long you could continue receiving a paycheck before they figured out you had no intent of ever coming to work. Screen all calls, don't reply to any messages... just milk that shit. I had this happen with one of my employees last year and you'd be shocked how long it took and how many stages it took before we officially took them off the books. Probably what I would do if I hated the company I was working for LOL

congrats dude. take some time off and just relax, chill, do stuff you enjoy. if yuo've been working such long hours a break will do you good. don't think about work at all or get into lengthy discussion about it with friends/family, it will just stress you out.
Go out, redline the M, hit a few pubs for beers, build a sweet garage, in the butt with the old lady and most importantly, hang out with euphoric.

wow

I didnt think you would just get up and say fuck this and walk out. I thought you'd just ride it out till you get shit canned or what not. However, I think you do have a leg to stand on since they were making ya working like a dog w/ all those unpaid long ot you were doing.

2nd chance career program, w0ot?!

I shall drink a couple of beers for ya tonight dude.

Although this might appear stupid, do ya have any certification/qualification to do any book-keeping for small business? perhaps start up your own small company doing book-keeping/taxes for them? my cousin has a book-keeper that comes in the shop every monday and he works a total of 5-6 hours. not too shabby.

Good luck man. You have obviously been stressed out at this job so it's probably for the best. It's March break so might as well take this time to chillout and clear your head.

You're a pretty dedicated dude you'll be fine. For now since you work so much enjoy it for a few weeks before you even think of making any moves. If you see anything where I work let me know.
