Even the head manager hated him and now she's been promoted and moved interstate. He still works there though to this day because he's been in the industry all his life and because if he got fired he'd become a useless sack of sh!t
i am a 4th year engineer :PQuote:

I could hold a gun to my current employers head for more money I suppose but leaving & letting my 90 day no compete clause expire would give me just enough time to settle into a new job & my current employer completely screw my accounts. That would leave them in breach of supply contract & allow me to swoop in on several million in business.
Word of advice for those who are considering buying a Trek bike in future - They're great bikes but if anything goes wrong and a new part has to be ordered, you'll be waiting months for the replacement (currently been waiting 2.5 months for my replacement front forks, was told it can take up to *gasp* 6 months!!). :mad:
One store explained that they never make spare parts and to make just one for a replacement would cost them mega bucks. So they wait until their next big run and then make yours...However long that takes.
So I handed in my resignation today, only to get it rejected as they thought I was being rash. Now I have to write another letter showing I am not rash at all.
How can a company reject a resignation letter? You've handed it in, isn't it a fortnight notice you have to give? Just don't rock up after a fortnight.
Exactly. No offense but it sounds like you work for a bunch of clowns.Quote:

If they really kick up a fuss - or better yet try to get you in the **** by withholding pay etc - you could get a pretty sweet payout (if you think it's worth the hassle that is).
I agree with what everyone has said Zippo, what the hell do they think you are? - A F****** Yo-Yo? :confused::mad:
Personally, I don't see how anyone could be rash if they handed in their Resignation, the fact that someone is resigning clearly shows they have thought about it! :mad:
I get the feeling dude these mongrels are going to do their very best to absolutely F*** your life around as much as possible - I know one's not supposed to promote violence but damn...
They are playing mind games with you. The time over the weekend will allow you to think & they are hoping you feel a sense of guilt so you come in on Monday & retract the resignation. Type up a new letter of resignation if you like but date it today & deliver it on Monday.Quote:

Just things to consider of course.
this happens at my work too, people will say they will resign but getting a counter offer and think it over first :)Quote:

Maybe if they had of said .. whoops, sorry about the written warning - we retract it, and your manager is leaving in 3 weeks anyways and here be another $10k .. then maybe I would stay.
Sorry to come in a bit late on this conversation, just wondering if you have enough evidence to prove that you were being bullied? ie dates and time of incidents and corroboration from other staff members......I ran into a similar issue. I quit my job of 12 years because of shit from the boss, some could be classed as boarding on death threats. but because I didn't write down time and dates I really didn't have a leg to stand on....Mind you I did screw him over in the end...He tried getting out of paying my long service leave, I bought the heavies in and he was crapping himself because he had no idea of the people I knew, the one of the advantages of having a church minister who use to run with bikies in his younger days and takes crap from no one still...:D:D:D:D:DQuote:

Non paying bidders on ebay! Especially 0 feedback ones! From now on no more bidders with zero feedback! Now I can either relist the items or offer second chance bidders but I always feel second chance offers seem dodgy. :(
2nd Chance Offers may seem dodgy to a Seller, but from a Buyer's point of view (Especially one who's been sniped) it can be a massive relief - As was the case with my G2 Megatron's Green Light Array/Thing. ;)Quote:

It's up to you dude, but I agree with your feelings towards 0 Feedback Buyers, hell, some non-0 Feedback Buyers & Sellers can be dodgy. :(
Yeah I guess everyones got to start somewhere - once I get the non paying strike against them will just do 2nd chance offer and hopefully they accept :)Quote:

that's when you get a trolley fill it with those items then push it to some deep dark untouched part of the store and await for them to restock it with good stuff :DQuote:

I've gotten a whole bunch of new tech and I feel very, very poor. It really had to be done since my old tech is on it's way out, but ooh, my poor wallet.
And I still need to pick up some decent Japan-to-Australia power converters (all the stores I've checked out here only have the two-prong output ones and I need 3 prongs, ideally with a dual output), and an electronic Japanese-English dictionary if I can find one that doesn't cost a bomb...
The final episode of Mortal Kombat: Legacy was supposed to be tonight but will premiere instead during the 2011 Comic Con :mad:
Srs? Are they even going to air it on their Youtube channel?Quote:

Also...
My TF Hunts in 2 separate states have both yielded, still, no DOTM Voyager Shockwaves whatsoever!!! :mad::mad::mad:
I swear, AUS Retail had better pick up it's game by the time the 3 DOTM Soundwaves are released, otherwise, I'm going to be slightly more enraged than what I am currently.
Mate you'll be missing them now but sooner or later they'll pop up in such overwhelming numbers you'll be like 'NO MORE SHOCKWAVES, NO MORE!' - but that's if Hasbro do release the damn toys in the right quantities in the first place.Quote:

Great job & great company. I went through 6 hours of interviews & having to prepare & present a full on powerpoint to a board for assesment. I was told I had the job yesterday I just need to do a medical.
I did the medical & passed with flying colours. That was when they brought the piss cup for me to use & I knew I was shot.
I am not a druggie or anything I just smoke the odd puff on the weekends & it NEVER has interfered with my job. I seriously cannot believe I was knocked back for having THC in my system. Then again I don't think I want to work for a company that invades it's employees privacy by conducting random urine tests.
If there is anything I can take from this it is that I was the best candidate for the role & had it on lock bar the test. I also know my market value is considerably more than what my current employer is paying me.
Rant over
damn that sucks man, what you do on the weekends should not intefere with your work or potential work like thatQuote:

I'm hoping I can find a cinema showing "Version Orignale" of Transformers 3 this week in Rome. Otherwise I won't be able to see the film for another week, and by extension will have to avoid the whole Internet for risk of spoilers. :(
I got this in my inbox from HR today
They rejected the two times I suggested.Quote:
Hello Brett, I am disappointed that you have not yet been in contact to arrange a suitable time to return company property.
As such I have instructed payroll to hold any further payments until they have received confirmation that the property listed below has been returned.
Please advise urgently
I am also still an employee of the company and I have sought legal advise if they can in fact hold back my holiday pay and lieu payments until the cellphone, security card and shirt I have are returned (total value about $200)
If I had got this next Monday then yes I would understand.
