New job scuppered by bank

SJ1

Just wanted to drop by and say well done on going for the job, I read your thread with interest.

I know it's stressful now but 2 years down the line you will be laughing. Hope that you are getting a nice increase in pay!!

P.S. Who on earth pays in advance!

What about a months advance pay from new people paid back over 6 months ... I have known companies that do that if they big

Im in too much debt to add another load!! I am starting a new job with a new slate and I dont want them to think I am needy - well just yet!!! I am very independent and like to think that I can manage my stuff on my own and you are right though - the bigger the company sometimes they will help. NOt however the one that I am leaving - its the biggest shop on the high street but has a very very tight procedure on leavers.

Thank you for your post though - much appreciated....

This is supposed to be the "Debt Free Wannabe" board, not the "Oh yes please, I'd love to be in even more debt that I cannot pay back thanks to the eye-watering, 2600% interest rate on my payday loan" board.

Get a grip! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

There is always one isnt there.....tell me something - is that what a troll is....? Because I felt so trollied after that post. I didnt want to seem rude but it made my blood boil to read what it said. Maybe I shouldnt have said shut up....:(

Hello! IIRC today was your last day in your old job - how are you?

mrs-stressed

Hi! Thanks for the post. I had a good day yesterday. I did do some work but I was selective and I tailed off at lunchtime!!!! Nobody batted an eyelid...
I didnt cry either! It was such a sense of relief that I dont have to fight those battles anymore (internal and petty but destructive to ones peace of mind). I am under no illusion though that where I am going will give me more of the same (you know, women working together, peer pressure, pecking order that sort of thing) but I am going in with my eyes wide open! I am still looking forward and I dont feel in any way regretful..

I got some lovely pressies and cards too which was really nice. Today my daughter is home so we are going to go for lunch somewhere and chill!!!

New life starting - god how exciting is that!..

Hello Mrs S

Your thread was such an interesting reading! It's really nice to see you've been able to make the most of this great opportunity with the support of fellow MSE-ers; support from people with a wide variety of experiences and knowledge have made this site invaluable to me. It's these people are that bring me back almost daily.

( and if I'm honest I was think shut too! )

I hope you enjoy your new job, and let us know if you do start a diary, I'd love to drop by occasionally. Good luck and best wishes.
