It's a shame about motto closing though. I just made an online purchase from them (they have no b&amp;m presence near me) and I think I am pretty happy with it. Retail is really tough at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seems-i-made-the-right-career-choice#post-1683788 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 02:26:31 +0000 Beth Ann 1683788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry, particularly for your coworkers that the store is closing, but I'm sure you will move forward with a sense of confirmation, which is always helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seems-i-made-the-right-career-choice#post-1683785 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 02:23:01 +0000 Deborah 1683785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa it is a shame. &nbsp;It is just the Bendigo store and I suspect they may not have done their research into the Bendigo market well enough:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seems-i-made-the-right-career-choice#post-1683773 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 02:08:59 +0000 pil 1683773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seems-i-made-the-right-career-choice#post-1683757 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 01:39:35 +0000 JAileen 1683757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How lucky was that?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seems-i-made-the-right-career-choice#post-1683755 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 01:37:18 +0000 shedev 1683755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad it worked out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seems-i-made-the-right-career-choice#post-1683751 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 01:26:47 +0000 Anonymous 1683751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - - turn of events indeed. Funny how these things have a way of working themselves out. But as someone working with buyers in retail, I'm sorry to hear that this particular store is closing. That's never a nice thing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seems-i-made-the-right-career-choice#post-1683745 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 01:17:27 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1683745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! I'm glad that you hitched your wagon to the right star, as they say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/seems-i-made-the-right-career-choice#post-1683730 Thu, 23 Jun 2016 01:03:23 +0000 Deborah 1683730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my last little career thread you all gave me such excellent advise and helped me find the perspective I needed. &nbsp;I thank you very much for that. </p> <p>To catch you up, I negotiated 5 days at school hours at my current employer and resigned my shifts at Motto.</p> <p>What I haven't yet shared is this! Last Wednesday I called my Motto boss and resigned. &nbsp;She was wonderful and encouraging. &nbsp;The same night we had &nbsp;Motto team meeting with her (which I didn't attend because I had resigned, and because my hubby had a meeting that evening so I was on mum duty). &nbsp;So...I received a call from my boss at 9pm that evening (after the team meeting had finished) and she advised me that Motto are closing up the shop here in Bendigo!! &nbsp;Our last day of trading is this coming Sunday and my last shift is tomorrow (Friday) night. &nbsp;</p> <p>What an amazing turn of events. &nbsp;</p> <p>Your comments helped to clarify where the future was for me &nbsp;Those of you who suggested there was no future in retail didn't realise just how on the money you were:)</p> <p>I am so disappointed that Motto is leaving our town. &nbsp;The other stores are fine and they have on line but it's not the same. &nbsp;We have a lot of very disappointed local customers but as I understand it, retail is tough at the moment. &nbsp;</p> <p>I may still continue to some social media work with them but we are working that out at the moment.</p> <p>Otherwise, one door has closed, and another opened and I start my new hours with the NTFP on Monday.</p> <p>Ladies you are all wiser than you may realise:)</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
