NFR - me

[Airfix]

I've just quit my job.   :029:

That was probably the most nervous I've been in years.

[richie17]

Hard isn't it?  I resigned same day as Roy (last week).   Petrified I was.

[The Equalizer]

I've heard there's a decent management position at FFC if you're looking...

[Lighthouse]

No point in going for the Fulham job. Don't tell anybody but I received a text this morning saying that my final interview went very well and it is between me and the girl from Countdown. She may have the brain and the looks but I have pictures and recordings.

I have never been sacked from a job. Once you have decided to leave your brain has already gone and is just waiting for the rest of you to follow.  No doubt you have good jobs to go to. I never did when I left. Just a knife dripping with blood  and a frayed rope. Still surgery was different then.

[WhiteJC]

good luck to both of you, I'll bet you both feel better now  :54:

[OldBrownShoe]

You'll be nervous when you get home Airfix!

[RidgeRider]

Airfix and Rich, as they say and experience proves, when one door closes, another door always opens. Enjoy your time off!

[Airfix]

Don't get me wrong - I would never quit without somewhere else to go.

I shall be working for a company called Aliph, they make a product called Jawbone.  www.jawbone.com

This is a huge opportunity, one I could not pass up.

[The Equalizer]

Airfix, they look like lovely earrings you're going to be making!  :dft012:

[RidgeRider]

I don't see one with a Fulham logo on it... they all look very "space age", is there going to be a Fulham earring?

Mr. Lighthouse, spot on comment. I have quit jobs without another to go to 3 times. The most recent was in January this year, I walked out after a long running difference of opinion with the owner where I worked. Life has never been so good. Lots of time to be on this site, every day!!

I had the last laugh, time to develop my own business and the best bit is most of my customers came with me.

The company I left, it is rapidly going down the toilet, ha ha.

Good luck Mr Airfix sir.

I have just passed the 6 year mark with my current employer, which is a record for me.

Starting to get itchy feet, but mainly because of the commute than the content of the role. Getting up at 6:30 every morning is starting to do my head in.

[Hazey]

Coming upto 5 years here with the same hospital in the NHS on a work permit, so I havent been able to even look for a new post due to restrictions on the visa.

There is 0 chance of promotion or moving through the ranks here, unless someone dies and the attitude is not very proactive....

So all going well with my interview at the Home Office tomorrow, I will have my permanent residency and the option to change jobs if I wish.

[TheDaddy]

Good luck guys,  Hazey how did it go ?

Ive been working for London Underground since i was eighteen and now after all that time 25 years i cant be bothered been messed around this year when i needed the company to have a back bone.Feels that my mind and body need a change or is it a rest .

I have a jawbone, Mr. Airfix.  Cracking good sound, but somewhat uncomfortable on occasion; also, the rubber tip protective slips off in action and it is in desperate need of a decent container to prevent damage between use.
Congratulations.  Moving jobs and resigning are marvelous experiences.
My first major resignation was to a dictatorial little Aussie with a cook-book full of insecurities masked by a massive brain and a vigorously strategic outlook on life.  I wrote him a nice, professional letter.  His response was: "I can't believe this, on the very day we were going to promote you, you write this pathetic letter that looks as if it's been written by a second-rate barrack-room lawyer.  How stupid could you be!  I MEAN HOW STUPID?!?!?!?!"
One of the best decisions I ever made.  I went to a much larger company in our field. 
Oh yes, he followed me there a couple of years later - and promoted me pretty quickly!
Nogood "no risks, no pain, no glory, glory allelujah, isit" Boyo

Thanks for that mate, I'll feed it on up.

The sense of release is huge.  I've spent the better part of the last 2 days letting particular colleagues know the news before the general announcement comes out.  I never realised that I know so many people!
