Re: Job offer advice
Congrats and good luck. And like I say. If it’s sh*t find something else or go back!The Reverend wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2024 3:32 pm I accepted the offer.
As someone said on this thread: you only live once.
I’ve done my first week and loved it. Felt weird being somewhere where people make quick decisions, are interested in my informed opinions and are willing so spend some money to get stuff done. Genuinely alien.

It was already listed under “hobbies & interests” on my CV so they were aware.Max B Gold wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2024 4:14 pmHow did they respond when you told them you needed two hours of the working day for Boardin" on a Div 3 message board?The Reverend wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2024 3:32 pm I accepted the offer.

Re: Job offer advice
Small update on this: company I’m leaving (currently working notice) just announced that they will be making wide scale redundancies over the next month of which I certainly would have been at risk if I wasn’t already out the door.
Funny how life works out sometimes.

Good for you!

Probably but the stress of not having something else lined up would have been pretty intense.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2024 8:23 pmGood for you!

I feel bad for those who will be impacted by this. Poor decisions at the top led to the situation but it’s those lower down who suffer.
I have had a feeling that something was up for quite a while (hence why I even entertained the idea of going elsewhere in the first place) but didn’t see this sheer scale of what will happen coming.

Hope you blow some brown smoke out of your arse to confirm your apointment
