i quit - 08:40 AM
yeeehaaa!!! i don't work for those dodgy bastards anymore!! i walked out yesterday & i won't be going back. alriiight!! it felt so good to leave that place. they were so damn slack. one of the guys that runs the place wrote me an email asking when this work experience that i had asked for was going to start. hello?! i kept waiting for them to give me something challenging but it just didn't happen. most of what i did there was just proof reading, work that any grade ten kid with a pass in english could have done.
the first day of work when i turned up, they weren't there until late, no one else knew that i was starting, there was no computer ready for me & it took them until midday to find me something to do! talk about bad organisation. i stood up for myself over the crappy pay they gave me for the first week ($100 for three days work) & i don't think they liked that. they wanted some gullible little girl that could be walked all over. that's not me anymore! it was only a matter of time until they didn't want me there. i didn't want to be there from about the second day!
now i need to find myself another job but at least i might find a proper one this time. i'll be standing up for myself right from the start this time. lay the ground rules so everyone knows what's going on & no one gets walked all over.
my honey has been great about all of it. he encouraged me to stand up for myself with my parents & my job & although it's been a bit hard (i'm not used to standing my ground & sticking up for myself) it's been very rewarding. no one deserves to be walked all over & i'm not going to allow it to happen again.
