It's stressful enough to be changing jobs without having bad feeling to contend with as well. Do look after yourself extra well, won't you?

I needed it! </p> <p>I am required to give one calendar month's notice - which would be November - but I wanted to give her as much time as possible to find a replacement for me so I gave her a few days early notice and&nbsp;offered to work till mid December, which she has declined. I only start my new job on the 2nd Jan and we have a&nbsp;vacation booked and paid for in the last two weeks of December, so November was my best option. </p> <p>The atmosphere in the office is still extremely tense and I can only hope that the next few weeks fly by! I've always believed in not burning my bridges, but dammit I can see how tempting that is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh---what-a-day#post-1062676 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 08:16:18 +0000 Caro in Oz 1062676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big hugs to you.

How do such people go through life let alone run businesses?&nbsp;I'm glad it's all behind you. Congrats once again&nbsp;on the new job and - onward and upward </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ugh---what-a-day#post-1061211 Wed, 23 Oct 2013 19:42:00 +0000 Hil 1061211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I resigned from my job today... Which went down like a ton of bricks. The current job is at a very small company (just my two bosses who are a couple and myself)</p> <p>My female boss (and the bigger shareholder) is absolutely useless at coping with this sort of thing (just one of my many reasons for leaving). Instead of simply handing her a letter on the 1st of the month, I went to her personally, a week before the time, and told her that I had made a very difficult decision to move on. She instantly turned her body sideways, crossed her arms and stopped making eye contact. Her first words were about how I have made life extremely difficult for them and how will they go on a holiday again and then some other mumblings. After I walked away, she turned to her partner and said it was a $&amp;@# insult. From then on, all correspondence regarding the resignation was via email. She is absolutely incapable of having a mature face to face conversation. </p> <p>Oh well... I was hoping it would go better but I suspected that her reaction would be like this and it just confirms that I have made the right decision. </p> <p>The worst is over, thank goodness. Onward and upward. </p>
