Happenstance Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Yep similar with me as well at my last job. Worked at a school that was a pretty friendly place, all of us admin/IT staff felt like an actual team, then the school group came. We became a school group with 2 other schools (1 senior school then us 2 prep schools) and the senior school started making a lot of the decisions, usually made from a senior school mentality, not understanding the needs of a school for younger children. I was managing the databases, phones, printers etc at the time and it became impossible to do my job. Contracts weren't paid so we kept losing access to software, everything became very corporate and all the staff became miserable. I left about a year and a half ago and since then they've lost multiple teachers and I'd say at least half of the admin team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After several failed interviews (fuck the STAR method), I've finally managed to get an offer back at NUH and I can leave the firm I'm at now. Currently there's barely any work to do where I am, my colleague who works alongside me consistently falls asleep and is writing some sort of Norse fanfic/book and doesn't know that I know, and there's only so many stalkers and sex offenders I can deal with before I know I'll snap. Just waiting on the confirmed start date and I'll hand in my notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That start date is not coming now, as they've withdrawn the job offer and at this moment won't tell me why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago For reasons I can’t go into I left my last job in the middle of July. I absolutely hated it so when I got the offer to part ways I jumped at the chance. I was a little worried with how things are in the industry right now but figured it was worth the risk to try and find something better. I decided to take the summer off and just enjoy things then September would be the time to start looking for something. One of the guys who used to work with me introduced me to a team looking for someone to help them out and I had a few chats with them over the summer before going down to see them last week. Loved the team, great project and all the right things to go with it. Had a call earlier today saying I’ll have the formal offer in the next few days! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
