Got no plans to leave without something else, but I’m just done with it at this point. Mix of a few things. A lot of changes that for want of a less wanky phrase have made it a “worse fit” from my end. Days off, annual leave all affected massively, and it appears however much good will you offer it doesn’t make any difference to how you will be treated.
Truthfully I don’t think it’s the job, just my manager is a massive brian can’t, and if I’m being honest i’m becoming/have become stale.
All came to a head when my wife called me out on it the other day, and she was right, I knew it but needed somebody else to tell me. Either way I’m stoked to even be at this point and pushing to make a change.
This is so true. So many jobs expect you to bend over backwards for them with fuck all in return. Like they’re doing you a favour employing you. Fuck that.
Also, as someone on LinkedIn probably said, ‘people leave managers, not jobs’. There’s definitely some truth there.
Work in retail sales for Sky based in Telford, Shropshire. In short I’m the guy nausing you up while you’re on your way to Greggs.
I had a conversation with my manager about 9 months ago about it all. I’d come to a near breaking point when someone else clearly taking the piss had ended up affected my days off moving forward. We had an off the record chat where I explained I know he can’t say these people are taking the piss, and I understand he has to treat people fairly. But by being so uniformed in his managerial approach all that was happening were the staff who do take the piss did it more and the staff who are always good for him and go above and beyond get shafted, end up getting pissed off and are ultimately being treated unfairly. What makes it worse is when you ask for a favour and are flat out told no. To which you then realise this whole thing is a one way relationship.
Sorry realised I’m venting. TLDR version: Retail Sales for Sky in Telford, Shropshire.
Nice. Can’t wait to get up the Lakes in Sept, I’ll be on a bike rather than climbing though.
Starting to tickle the easier V6s at our boulder wall, definitely seeing improvement. I could do with going more often but just don’t have the time right now.
was out for a little skate round the neighbourhood. heard bike bell being rung behind me as I roll along the pavement. I lean off to one side as two rudeboys cycle past, yelling some aggressive whatevs at me.
I blew them both a kiss, they lost their shit.
hahaha
When was this?? I was up Black Crag on Thursday and the visibility was near on nothing up there and on most of the peaks either side. It wasn’t much better yesterday morning… Great pic! Wouldn’t catch me climbing, I like my feet on the ground. Good effort dude!
Last Saturday. We got up there the night before and hadn’t checked the forecast, it was raining at 9am so we set off at 5am to get something out of the weekend. Heading that way again next week but gonna check the forecast this time ha.
Went for an interview and bossed it. Offer came in straight away and now just mulling it all over. I’ve just gotta decide whether to stay miserable but comfortable or take a leap of faith. 99% sure I know which way I’m going though!
