I was going to let this run the 6 months and not renew as that seemed the professional option. It's been nasty and negative with some very twisted individuals. I'm watching what's been done to other permie staff and no-one gives a toss about their much vaulted values. I was brought in to kick start the work which I did and feedback I had from Europe was great. Feedback from UK teams where we highlighted their lack of progress and poor business knowledge wasn't well received and that was the end.
So all in all delighted to be going.:A Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust :A0 -
You're opening a shop? What kind of shop?

I know that feeling... sometimes being good at what we do threatens others.
I have decided that I need to find a culture that supports me in my next role even if that means setting up my own business to do it..... Still need to pay the bills too tho! I am trying to look for work nearer to home and that is more positive- wish me luck!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

An ebay drop shop. Bring it to us and we'll do all the ebay stuff, you just sit back and wait for a cheque. Well that's the theory anyway

Best of luck SH. You're great at what you do, look at the jobs you've had. I'm just getting too old to put up with the double standards and nonsense plus I find it so frustrating that we're trying to help a company who seems unable to understand what really needs to be done and why.
