Permanent notice period

[SueEllen]

No- I finished yesterday. I spoke to someone in HR and sorted it. They were extremely suprised when I told them about the voicemail!

Fact of the matter is- I behaved pretty unprofessionally, but I made a mistake. My heart was never in this job. I had my heart set on going contracting, but was offered a very big salary and that swayed my decision.

Having a breakdown on site or stabbing the voicemail leaver would be more unprofessional.

As of today, I am a contractor. Although, at the moment, an unemployed one

Fingers crossed.

Enjoy your time off.

just out of interest what was the salary? I was targeting by a few agents for roles with the big four but knowing how they work I wasn't interested as I could make far more from contracting - and they are in no way bad salaries I was been offered 60-70k with it likely being 65K.

To me being a consultant with the big 4 was the worst of both worlds when compared with contracting- majority travel and lots of long days but with only a slightly better salary than a perm doing the same thing, and as you found you have no control where you go.

The problem with working for one of the big 4, or a consultancy that's trying to become the big fifth, is that you're working for (and to some extent, with) total smegheads.

HR's job is to protect the company from idiotic actions of managers. Hence they've let you go without fuss - with that voicemail, you had the beginning of the possibilities of legal action. Now sue over the mental distress caused by it.

The worst Manager/PM I've ever come across worked for one of the big four, I've honestly never encounter such an arrogant, aggressive and ego-maniacal twunt - the fact that he was truly incompetent and delivered each project of his at 100% past the deadline was apparently not an issue for the senior people who employed them - the brand goes along way

I would never deem roughing up a work colleague unprofessional behaviour. Little exhuberent yes, but unprofessional. Never!
