My good buddy Pete was ‘dismissed’ from a company I used to work for on Friday. Due to lateness of some stuff he’d been working on and insubordination (something I’m constantly guilty of). It’s sad to see a company that I thought I might have changed for the better (at one point at least) go so far downhill.
Maybe I should have said something more during the end of my time there, maybe I should have mentioned that they were employing retards who had trouble using computers never mind being able to program them.
But it’s all said and done now.
If you know of any good C++ jobs going for guy with eons of experience in the Bristol area please give me a shout and I’ll pass the details on. Anything at bluemonki dot net will get to me :)
Weird. I really thought that I’d spend ages on this post lamenting over old times, but things like this just ruin memories..
Maybe it’s time to use that backdoor that I left for myself if I ever needed it…
I went through this sort of thing 18 months ago (actually exactly 18 months ago yesterday) – the company was putting too much burden on me. The day I left, there were three people in the office: me, working my butt off, and the other two sitting around drinking coffee. I snapped and just walked out! The upshot is: I’ve now got a job that’s easier, has more holidays, more money and nicer people. I’m also going through the early stages of buying my own flat. Hang in there Pete, you’ll find something.
Funnily enough talking of backdoors, I had almost built an etherkiller when I left, would hav been fun to throw the switch and watch the router explode!
