Hey I got given notice today

Casper · 2005-01-14T11:15:02+00:00

After working 6 mths casual but full time, slogging my guts out every day with no sick days off I was given a week's notice. On the positive side they have done me a favour, as I have never worked before in such a negative workplace with so much bitching about all staff in front of other staff on a daily basis. I am the type of person who takes whatever work I do seriously and will always try to occupy my time with something, so to have the boss constantly stalking round all day and even staring at you when you have proven yourself reliable and hard working 6 months later is tiresome and unproductive. He even told me once that his idea if someone makes a mistake is to humiliate them. I could go on and on ............ but the upshot is I now need a job. I live in the Brisbane area. Last year I completed a Cert 3 in Business Admin, which covers book-keeping, word, excell, database, myob. So while I have learnt these subjects have yet to put them into practice in a business place, so lack a little confidence in ploughing in head first. What I don,t lack is the confidence in my ability to be able to master them with a little training and experience. Prior to that I had my own dog washing franchise with Aussie Pooch Mobile for 4 years - so I have good people skills. I was awarded Franchisee of the Year Qld in 2003 with this company for the conduct of my business, its growth, my help with training new operators and promoting the company at Business Expos. Looking for office work, but would also take something with animals, ie vet's surgery or kennels. Any one wanting a concientious reliable and hard working employee u2u or ph Pam 0402436761

G'Day, sorry to hear about your job but as everyone has said your better off without them and stressing over a dead end job.

My hubby works for Australian Day Tours in the Trans Centre. They were looking for someone to help in the admin side of things... I don't think they have found anyone but if your interested give them a call. Excellent company to work for!
You would be taking bookings for Bus tours etc.
If it's not your thing good luck in finding a new job. 😉

Gotta say I partly agree with DC.... at least from the customers point of view, if some asshat employee abused me cos he had the shits with his job, i'd throw said obnoxious individual straight thru the nearest wall/door/window etc...

On that note tho, I would feel inclined to give my asshat of a boss some grief if he were hellbent on ruining me... but none of this rampant childish idiocy that collaterally effects others, such as innocent employees clients etc...👎

Injure the boss where it hurts most... his pride... but dont make an asshat of oneself in the process... it's just as unacceptable as beating your wife/husband and kids because the VW pbew up and made you want to take it out on the closest thing.:puke

Or you could just grin and bear it and not endager your final paycheck... 👍

hit 'em in the hip pocket....after you've left, you get onto wageline who then go in and check 'em out...hehehee...got me $600 that way, and the old scummy manager was very sore over it...he had to give ALL his staff payrises. LOL

Time is a great healer. Unless it's a rash, then you're better off with ointment.
