I handed in my resignation at work yesterday. 1 months notice to go. must admit it feels a bit funny coming into work today.

Still new job awaits come Easter!

Well done Ian.:)

Was it the job I saw you shopping for a new suit for an interview for?

Congratulations.

Re: Well, thats that
 

It was.

Its doing what I do now but with another company for 5 and a half grand extra so jobs a good'un

I'e just had a sort of exit interview with my 'drone' boss. He genuinely can't understand the idea of a landing slot i.e. the position in life where you are happy with what you have and don't need anymore. He just kept on about "but you won't grow any more", "its not right to let your advanced skills sit stagnating".

To him life is always about the next promotion/payrise/move. I'll be honest, I'm very well paid, enjoy what I do and have a lovely family and life, what more is there?

Congrats Ian, is the new job closer to home too??

Re: Well, thats that
 

about 200yards :D

I always found it weird that companies promote people to a level of incompetance e.g. your good at your job so you get promoted, your good at that level so you get promoted again, your crap at this next level so you end up stuck ata a level your no good at!

Re: Well, thats that
 

Good luck :)

..... and if it all goes boobies up I've just read Mani's thread that Kleeneze are recruiting :D

Re: Well, thats that
 

You only promote someone who has the potential to succeed at the next level. If everyone stayed at the current level they are good at there would be no one higher up.

Maybe you feel that you have reached your peek and it's time to stay at a level where you feel safe.

Re: Well, thats that
 

You can never be sure that someone will succeed at teh next level and those that don't get stuck there.


I don't want to be CEO, I don't even want to be a team leader or manager. I am described by my boss as" a superb techie" and thats how I want to stay. If I go much higher than I am they expect you to become 'management' and that brings loads of paperwork and stuff that I detest.

Perhaps I am lucky that I've reached the pinnacle of what I could ever wanted to achieve so early in life. didn't we have a thread about fulfillment a short while ago?

Re: Well, thats that
 

good luck in the new job ian.....

Re: Well, thats that
 

Congrats Ian on the new Job:D:thumbsup:

Also u may have reached the level u want doesn't mean thats it as far as achievement cept maybe on one level but there is other areas in life that are challenging & new to learn or achieve, life has habit of closing one door & opening a window:D
