Told my boss to....

[UmAnOnion]

Way to go. If you need any advice on starting your own business, just let me know. I've never been happier about work than since I started working for myself.

only prob i see with working for yourself is that when you disagree with the boss calling him a a$$hole is rather self defeating...

:-D

I am sure you will maike out fine Robin. You are a very fortunate man to have a supportive partner who has your back (as we say over this way)

[bubba]

Best of luck Robin, it's a big step but I'm sure you'll be happier in the long run. I've thought about kiltmaking, but decided I don't want to get buried under a years worth of orders and put up with the pressure. Guess I'm just not that ambitious.

Best wishes to you, Robin. I hope you find something creative & fulfilling.

Man, I've always wanted to do that but it usually happens the other way 'round! I hope it all works out for you. Trust me, I know how damaging it can be staying in a job that doesn't fit. In the long run you'll be much much better off following your heart. How hard is it going to be staying there for the next six months? I hope your boss isn't the vindictive kind that will make the next six months a living hell for you.

No...had nothing to do with me wearing a kilt, although...perhaps the power of the kilt did help me to do this.

I'm working at the same restaurant for 14 years now, not happy with the way they treat me for several years.

I told them I will stay until July, so they have time to find someone else (that won't be easy)...gives me time to think of something else also.

I might start a small kiltpin business :mrgreen:

My wife Michelle earns enough (understatement), we've no kids, no debts, so there's no financial need to stay. Michelle likes to see a happy hubby and she supports my decision.

:-D

Go for it Robin. I was in a similar position 3 years ago when I worked for HSBC Bank - decided to leave and now work for the RNLI, a major UK charity, and have never looked back - less pressure and stress!

Good for you Robin. And may I add that you are lucky man to have such a wife. Don't forget to remind her how lucky she is to have a man that wears a kilt. :-)

[threadhighjack] Hey Calmac, from one SAR guy to another, RESCUE![/threadhighjack] although I've never heard anyone say SAR is less stressful..

I don't actually get involved in the SAR part. My job is fundraising - the RNLI relies on contributions from the public and gets no funding from government.

I've worked for myself, and the boss made me work all those hours, get into partnership with others like him, do everything he didn't want to do and all th while he was stashing the cash for his old age. Finally had to quit and lived off his loot for awhile.

Now im working forthe man and the best part is a sense of irresponsibility when teasing my boss (his doc should give me a kickback for the high blood pressure meds)
