    The All New Jobs Thread

    Looks like the old one was a fatality of the switchover. I'll see if I can restore it, but we might have to start again.

    Usually my jobs by email alerts get me some admin roles in the North East of England.

    Today, a company recommended me an Assistant Manager role in South Carolina. At a Burger King Drive-Thru.

    I got a new laptop today which would be nice (rendering times cut by 50% ) but the fan on it is immense and never shuts up.

    For the third time in four years there's a re-org of the company structure and job cuts imminent.

    There's no chance I'm getting turfed less than a month after they threw shares at me to keep me, but it's really fucking annoying to keep having to deal with uncertainty in job roles, functions and what the company is doing.

    There's a town hall tomorrow with some pretty senior folks in town (by no coincidence) and it's going to be a sight to behold. 3 months ago we were told me were right sized, now we're not. Lies, lies, lies!

    What does "there's a town hall tomorrow" mean? Is it not there every day?

    Omg we might be getting rid of the sales idiots.

    Remember I said they were going to employ GENERIC sales people with no industry experience and train them up? Well that's been cancelled because of 3 of us internally (3 very highly thought of employees) to potentially make a sales SUPER TEAM, from point of sale to installation.

    This could spell the end of the sales team as we know it.

    The MD and owner both couldn't believe they hadn't thought of this before (which is lol).

    Anyway...Ł70k p/a plus?

    As if anyone is going to give a mong Ł75k

    They'd be out of business in a week with decisions like that. From the stuff you say here you sound like one of the worst and most trouble making employees imaginable.

    That sounds like management speak for cost cutting.

    I don't get any commission for my sales work, but my field manager is commission only. It makes it a fun relationship, with him constantly screaming GET IT OUT THE DOOR and me not caring because my figures aren't measured.

    How so? I won't be doing just sales so I'll get on a good basic. I'll be selling, and delivering the service. Only thing I won't be doing is supporting. I will also be handing over post-sale to other engineers.

    They could get rid of at least 3 idiot sales people, that's potentially up to 6. And they won't be employing the 4 sales people they are advertising for just now.

    Absolutely not, as I said I'm salaried at the moment, but will be moving on to a commission based package.

    Imagine dealing with a technical sales person. Unreal, right? Unfortunately we are pretty well behind the times because of this. We are coming right backatcha.

    About 300 miles, lol. My mate is living there, and his flatmate is moving out in a few months. I've visited and it's really nice, my walk to work would be 0.3 miles, literally along the seafront. It's quite twee and hoity toity but that's alright cus so am I. It's pretty small, but it's a student town with good pubs and restaurants and something of a night life, so I'm sold.

    The flat is nowt special, but it's in a lovely, well located area. You can see the sea from the front door! Rent is just under 400/month inc bills for a room which is affordable if not cheap.

    We're still thinking of that whole area for summer hols as it's about the only place the Mrs hasn't been yet. If we do, then that place is on the list after a quick skim on Google.

    I dunno, I don't really do stuff anyway. There's nice pubs and nice places to eat and I matched with pretty art student girls on tinder when I visited before and my flatmate-to-be likes watching football and getting rat arsed on booze and occasionally other stuff every few weekends or so, so that's already a significant improvement on my current situation.

    Well, quite. I really don't want to be stuck in Rugby long term, so I'm absolutely not going to waste rent on a shithole flat here, especially as my mum is incredibly easy to live with by parent standards, but I'm up for taking a gamble on anywhere half-decent. My basic plan is to move around from flat-share to flat-share with various pals around the UK until I find somewhere I want to settle, moving back home during the gaps between them.

    Manchester mate and Sheffield mate are always moving from flat to flat on a nearly yearly basis, so that'll be the next move if I don't want to live in Cornwall forever.
