Probation worries
Hi all, Will try to keep it brief. Started a job in June. All went well at first and was given a mini appraisal 2 months in to say I was doing well. I've always had a feeling my boss didn't like me though, just a gut feeling about how he acted around me etc, very cold and distant. In August I was having some personal…

2nd Job sites
Hi All apart from the usual employment job boards / sites, can anyone recommend any other sites that offer part-time work (e.g. proof-reading etc) as I am sure there used to be a site that offered short-term work but for the life of me I can't remember what it was unfortunately or even part-time work with no fixed end…

Switching jobs quickly
I changed job in January this year after 8 years in my previous role. I wanted a challenge and to learn more about another loosely related part to my job. This new company offered that. I hate it.
