Made an excuse to not go office today and had such a good day. Mandatory Monday office days are evil. Can’t wait to be done with this job. After they essentially told me to look for another job, it’s been pretty awkward. I feel on the outer already, and being in the office just makes me sad that this job didn’t work out.
Now I’m trying to decide between another FT role or doing freelance work for a bit. Found a place that already want to sign me on as a contractor and sounds like they have a fair bit of available work. I love the sound of freedom to work as I want, but letting go of guaranteed money, leave etc is very hard to do.
That’s a good sign? They want your resume to be as attractive as possible to potential employers. Pretty common in my experience for a recruiter to give CV feedback.
It is a proper warm evening, very summer like. My house is still 23 degrees. Have opened windows to see what that will do. Drinking a bevvy outside in shorts, not cold, feels nice.
I’m getting logged out using safari to browse from time to time. But then I refresh and magically logged back in. I don’t remember my password and the reset link never works. It’s stressful.
Anyway, today was a good day. WFH but not crazy, got time in the sun, fresh cut and now sushi train for dinner. Dreaming of going back to Japan. Or any holiday really.
Took myself out to the city for a spot of shopping, ramen + beer for dins, then ice cream from Piccolina for dessert which was delicious. Down the laneway was a Pidapipo which had a nightclub line. I waited in no line for my ice cream. Is it that much better? I swear people see a line and think yep I need to go there.
Aus Post carded me yesterday even though I gave permission to leave parcel at door via their online service and told the delivery driver via my doorbell camera to leave the parcel. What the hell? Mad I have to spend my lunch break going to the post office.
Codral original do your thing, I need to push through work today. Really wanted to take another sickie but these bloody client deadlines have come thick and fast this week and we have several people on leave.
Lunchtime in the sun planned, hopefully some solar power will help me get better.
My whole day has been on delay as in a half asleep state this morning, I turned my alarm off without setting a new one. Didn’t start doing any work until 11am so finished later. Just got back from a sunset stroll, was chilly out there. Pizza about to go in the oven. Beer being consumed. Cheers y’all.
Well they read me a list of all of these things I’ve done wrong in their eyes over the past few months. Some of which was just not right but I shut up and took it for the most part. I guess telling me what I did wrong was support? I dunno. The forum for delivering their message in a super serious meeting didn’t feel like support, it felt like being disclipined. Then told me that you must not be happy here and we can help you move on. I didn’t get the sense they wanted to do anything to improve outcomes, they just want me gone. A really shitty situation.
Update - I still have a job but my work standard has been slipping and they’ve noticed. Directors told me I won’t be progressing to where I want to get within the business and so I should think about moving on. Then they offered to help me with finding a new position - using their contacts etc. Has anyone previously told their employer they’re planning to leave before they actually resign? I feel like this is a trap.
