Without A Safety Net

[Gvac]

The only way to jump, if you ask me. This Friday (Aug. 31) is my last day of work for my current employer. I have absolutely NOTHING lined up, and am even clueless as to what I'm going to do.

Things always seem to work out for the best, however, when you just make a decision and stick to it. I've got a little bit of nervousness, but mostly excitement and anticipation for a change of pace and a new start.

I marvel at people who stay at the same job for 40 years; I think I just have way too short of an attention span, or else I haven't found anything that I'm that passionate about yet. Hopefully the next job I find is it! Anybody out there actually have a job that they really love? It must be a great feeling getting up in the morning without that sense of dread.

Keep your fingers crossed, and in the meantime, send your canned goods and donations to:

Hang in there G. September is a great month to seek employment, just remember that "it's a job to get a job", unless you have connections or family members to suck up to. Good luck!

This thread has been on my mind all night. I just interviewed for a new job today and i feel like I can relate to your plight and many of your feelings. i have a short attention span myself. 40 years at the same position seems like forever at times.

But, if you have a 401K at your current job, ensure that you DO NOT cash out and take that money. Transfer that money to an IRA. The taxes and penalties that you will atke are not worth it. Transfer the money to whatever risk level you want in an IRA, but just do not cash out.

If the position you are leaving was not for you - I truly believe you need to look at your ideal position that will make you truly happy and satisfied and chase that job. If you are happy, you won't be looking at the job saying when is this done, when should I leave...I don't think this is me. Don't sell out on your life. Look for that dream job and have fun while you live your life.

Good Luck - I will keep you in my prayers!

Thank you everyone for all the
kind words of encouragement;
it only strengthens my
resolve. I had another
meeting with the owner of the
company today (about the 4th
in the last 2 weeks), and he
still doesn't get it. It's
not about the money. I told
him if he was paying me a
quarter of a million dollars a
year, I'd still be walking away.

Of course money is very
important in this world, and
perhaps I'm just a wee bit too
idealistic, but I don't ever
want to see the day where I
compromise any one of my
principles for the sake of
making a buck.

What would my man Johnny
Rotten think of me then?

Skullcrush, my good man, I could not agree more! You brought back a memory I had completely forgotten about. Back in high school, a buddy of mine made a bet with me as to who could quit the most sports. We would go out for a team, attend practices, and quit (getting "cut" did not count). I won that bet hands down.

My shortest stint? The tennis team, senior year. I did not know the first thing about tennis, but it was the last sport left that I had not yet quit. I found this ancient wooden racket in the basement of my house that neither my mother nor my father knew where it came from. I attempted to hit a few balls around, and then the coach told us it was time to do laps. I believe he wanted us to do 15 around the entire school grounds. I ran straight to the locker room, grabbed my stuff, and went home. That coach is still looking for me.

OK, now that I got that out of the way, the answer to the question you've all been waiting for: "What the F happenned?!" I'm gonna try not to bore you with all the details, but it is kind of a long story. Go grab a tall glass of your favorite beverage, and read on.

Well, yesterday morning I had a one on one meeting with the GM of the company, the very man responsible for my quitting. You see, the man is a pathological liar and maybe even psychotic, from what I've observed. He and I have been butting heads since he arrived here last winter.

We had a meeting Tuesday morning with one of the other managers mediating, and it quickly deteriorated into a screaming match. After 25 minutes of finger pointing, cursing, and threats on his part, the meeting was halted.

I then met one on one with the owner Wednesday morning. He told me he would do whatever it took to keep me there. I told him if he was intent on keeping this GM, all the money in the world would not keep me there. He asked me to give him a day or two to come up with a solution. I granted him that request because I love the guy; probably the greatest boss on the planet. His idea was this one on one meeting that took place yesterday (Friday) morning. I guess he figured that if no one else was present, we'd either work things out or kill each other. Either way, it's out of his hands.

Basically, Mr. GM did all the talking. He apologized for his conduct in the previous meeting, he apologized for some of the things he's said to me over the past few months. He told me the reason he's so hard on me is because he thinks that even though I do a good job, I could be great. It was a load of horseshit that he was being forced to say by the owner, and I knew it. I listened, nodded occasionally to acknowledge the false praise, and at the end, thanked him for his kind words and apologies. I stood up, shook his hand, and told him my decision still stood.
