Job Offer

[lukemg]

Eeeeek,
Just been offered a job after interview last week. Trouble is it is no nearer home (still an hour), the office is a converted industrial unit (awful), 42.5 is the standard hours and there is no fabulous bird to pass the time with while I surf the net and wonder what to do on my friday afternoon off overy week (if you do the 35 hours by then you can go)
The good news is it is a proper managers job (awful team leader at the mo) and pays 10k more a year.
Not exactly beating my door down at the moment (ITIL is helping though)
Yeah it is permie, was contracting for 10 years till the ass fell out of the support market (well done on not having a plan B and/or training up)
I have to take it dont I ?

Ha ha, a support monkey, moving into management... FFS! Why not go and work in a call center?

centre

Take the pay increase and look for something better.

centre

HTH

Thanks Fleety but can't both spellings be used?

[Fleetwood]

"Center" is the American spelling and, as such, is beneath contempt.

[milanbenes]

good luck Luke, needs must and all that


Fleet are you back in a contract yet or are you going permy ?

Fair enough Churchill, I will take that on the chin, former support monkey trying to make a change of direction.
Good luck to all out there, as mentioned can take it and consider my options later.

[milanbenes]

ADA - she's a harsh but worthy mistress!

[xoggoth]

Quite so Fleetwood. I refuse to use Americanisms like "center" or "color" even in HTML. None of my webpages work but it's that's a small price to pay for principal.
