You’re doing better than me - took me at least 4 years to even tolerate the place !

Boring suject, but… has anyone ever left their job without another to move into? Ever regret it? I’m on the edge!!
Yes, twice in the last 2 years. If you do not enjoy it and it gets you down leave.
Sorry not sure what that means, I think I’ve posted on the wrong thread.
Everything is a jump which is why wanker bosses can be wanker bosses. I have worked in some terrible places and stayed around for years. Had a flat mate that said “just fuck that off mate” and I did. I haven’t looked back since. Like to think I now have a place people are happy to work, only issue now is piss takers on the otherside. Now I have to be the police and clamp down now and again.

I was just talking to Mrs Sfcsim this evening about people on their way to work in the morning. I look around at people suited up, in traffic jams and they look so miserable in their cars on their way to work. I so happy that I am now out of the fixed Monday to Friday working for someone else.
Dont get me wrong as it is bloody hard work, but it is yours, it is flexible. I get to listen to music in the kitchen, then in the car delivering. I drop the kids at school, go to the gym and pick the kids up wholesale shop in my own time.
I was in office work for 17 years and was bloody good at my job, but became to hate it and the big corporate world. I moved jobs in the hope I would find something I liked. Trained in different areas, but all I need in the end was the release of financial restaints to make a go of my own thing. It is a breath of fresh air.
So retracting my last comment, it is not easy to give it up without anything, as everyone needs the money, but in my case it worked out ok… And to be fair, if I do not like something I change it, or do not do it! I hate that trapped feeling!
Cheesecakes?
It means I have a name! If you want to refer to my tits, at least be a gent and use my name.

I seriously regret leaving my job of 20 years, where I was happy and had many friends. Upon resignation I was told (though I probably knew) “you had a job here for life”. I found it very hard to quit but I was offered a very decent pay rise and thought about it carefully before deciding. The new job was not as good, lasted 5 years and led to me being put of work twice this year. The grass is not always greener…

Fuck it , I’ll respond tomorrow when I’m
a) Sober enough to type
b) Sober enough to put my thoughts out there coherently.
but, @LouLouMySweet I don’ know what you do for a living, knowing what you do can help
and if you’re not happy then do look for something else but keep what you’ve got for the moment…

I am just working my notice at moment. I leave 25th November and don’t have faintest idea what I am doing next but I don’t care because a) I know I’m awesome, and b) if worst comes to worst I will get a job working for tokyos + be in charge of banging the foreign exchange students, or whatever it is tokyos does.

in my job before last I felt trapped for the first time, as I was being paid a really good salary 40k and priced out of the market. I was loving the money but hated everything about the job, I was looking to get back into a credit control position but would have been looking at a £10/15k drop. Asi mentioned I was so unhappy that in the end I just handed my notice in. I knew if the worse came to the worse I could pick up something somewhere else. I did but for nearly half of what I was on!
When I was younger and the economy was much better and I was on a lower salary without any family, I used to just leave a job and walk into another temping job the next day, the same day once! Things change with the responsibility that you take on and the expectancy of your salary to make ends meet.
At the end of the day it is your happiness and health that matters the most, so it you think your state of mind is going to be improved by leaving (even if it means getting a cleaning job, or delivering pizza’s for Dominos) or would it be worse if the unthinkable happened and you were long term unemployed or not bring enough bunce in to your account.
Like I said it worked out well for me in the end, but it took selling both our properties to clear the £48k debts (not including mortgages), from the equity and then having another £60 to put away in a post office account. We were jammy with the housing market in the south and south east without even trying!
After saying all the above it could so easily have gone the other way and the advice from any recruitment agency would be always stick with what you have got, if you do not have anything else to go to. But me, I like gamble.

If you’ve got no kids or mortgage then just say "fuck it’. Easy Peasy. There is plenty of work out there if you just need to make ends meet for a while. I’ll shout you a few beers 
Life is way too short to waste time working at something that makes you unhappy.
All that uncertainty and nervousness is really just excitement that you may be about to find the job you really love.
Fuck 'em off. You’ll thank me later

This was a simpler and straight to the point of what I was trying to say and much better than my drunken ramblings last night! Jeez I should stay away from the keyboard after drinking!

Did you hear about that Saudi prince living in America? He employed a couple of hot American girls to do his shizzle while he princed it up doing Royal stuff. He obviously did loads of Coke and hookers etc and these American girls quit and are trying to sue him.
One of the strangest things he did was, as he would give the girls their maid instructions, clean the bathroom, don’t look in that draw, that stuff was there when I moved in etc, he would be getting wanked off by a male ‘aid’. The girls would have to listen to his orders while he was being pleasured.
Just think Lou, it could be worse.
p.s. Bear - position vacant.

Score! Wait… A position banging exchange students, or a position waxing your pole while you order around domestic staff? Interested either way tks xx
Might take you up on that offer GB!
The perfect job for Bearsy would be to run a Twitter feed for a big brand and tweet daft funny things and make pictures joking about things that are going on in the outside world and trending.
Only trouble is, it couldn’t be rude stuff.
Actually, maybe that’s not such a good idea.
