Feel a bit sick :(

print up some 'my boss is ***' or 'is your firm threatening you?' type posters or leaflets,

and put them up around the road where your firm is- best do this extra early, then go treat yourself to a breakfast at McD etc, before going in at the 'normal' time..

based on the buzz in the office, approach your boss to resolve issues, or tell him to stick the job- no need for that behaviour at all.:beer:

I guess my heart says run to Spain and have the life I want!! I'd be living in Noia, I think thats how you spell it, and I'd be able to kayak, surf and lots of things and live, and I've not had that chance. I moved straight out of my parents into my boyfriends which was a mistake, I didn't have a gap year I literally had to go from kid to adult.
I found someone who'd take over my rent etc, I'd leave my bed etc for them. I'd give my junk to charity and I'd take a few suitcases and depart!

I guess really, the ONLY reason I'd feel guilty is that the two girls in the office have tutored me and I'd feel bad because S looks after me, she annoys me sometimes but she's just protecting my back and hers. Also my line manager/operations manager has taught me a lot about sales, I could sell anything now lol. I don't want to chuck it back in their face. However they do set themselves up for a fall and it is a hard job. Maybe I could not go to work, post a letter of resignation, ignore my phone and hope they don't badger me ( though they know where I live).
I have enough money to fly to Spain etc, to get myself sorted, and I would try to pay off my debts slowly, I've sorted my credit card, its just Welcome Finance and a couple of others..Lol once hopes leaving the country wipes debt, but not true!

Don't feel guilty for gods sake, life is for living, You're only young once! If these colleagues are half way human they will be cheering you and wishing you well!!

If you feel you can't face them, then yes, just send a letter of resignation and leave it at that. Forget the notice period it's unimportant.

I'm jealous - Please say you're going:D

What worries me is that I get the impression that my boss had severe anger issues a few years ago, and that he has calmed down since!!! A couple of months ago, he left work for personal training and then ended up in hospital as they couldnt get his heartrate down.

The family in Spain speak both Italian and Spanish, I'd love to be able to speak those, it would really open up my life in the sense that I could go to a foreign uni, or work abroad, or have a good job as I am multilingual, I wonder if I can get amazon to post me books though ^^

Has anyone ever walked out of a job here?

dont feel guilty! if it was a long term career job id approach it slightly differently but it is merely a stop gap to a better life. dont feel bad to the others either, they obviously will be gutted because they havent done it first!

my boss asked me to get him a cup of tea once (I work in a professional career!) so when I asked him if he wanted it in a cup of over his head, he genereally got the picture I like him a lot though so I do make him tea sometimes, but not when it is an order!

I walked out of a well paid job working for the government after 10 years (hated the stress, hated the politics, treated like !!!!!!). I just walked into the HR department one day and said, "I'm resigning", they started talking about having to organise notice period etc and I said, "No, you don't understand, I'm going now!" and I handed my security card in and left and have never looked back:D

It can be done!

Actually, I think you'd have to look it up but I think it's actually illegal to fine someone at work for a misdemeanour. You'd have to check with the CAB or ACAS.

But I agree with everyone else - get out of there now! Give him your letter tomorrow - so what if they escort you out of the office - they still have to pay you a months notice - contracts work both ways and if they don't want you to work it that's fine.

I wish I'd had that opportunity when I was your age:o

Hmmmm it would also cause a lot of stress, someone , well one of the van drivers walked out in the middle of a delivery once.

I guess my problem is, I like my "mentor" he makes me laugh, but in reality...hes just someone from work, hes nice to me and taught me sales stuff but only to make money. Yes I was lucky to get the job but its not like I'm 60 and deciding to take a pension or have a family.

Question, upping and leaving, what do I do with debts, just keep paying them as norma? 'I'll be getting euros so not sure how to handle it

I'd rather not go to work to hand my notice in. I am a wimp!

can a relative or friend drop the letter in for you or ring up and speak to someone you like and tell them instead
