I just walked out of my job!?
I had a difference of opinion with an ops manager today and ended up giving in my resignation and walking out of a £25000 job.
I live on my own, have many debts and don't know what to do now. However, I took a lot of undeserved criticism and feel I did the right thing.
I'm very angry as I've worked there for 11 years and gave 110%. Guess I better start job hunting!
Answers:
AND.. What's you're question?
Hope you're lucky, good jobs are kinda hard to find.
Some bosses are rather unconscious as to who does what at their offices.
I'm sure you can find something quick.
yea.u probably did the right thing. but now..what you have to do.is. find another job..!! :) good luck !
Don't look back and have no regrets. Obviously you hit your boiling point there and I am glad you got out of a situation where you were obviously unhappy. Good luck, and I hope you find a higher paying job that you LOVE!
Find another job that you are happy with
good for u..good luck with the search
I guess you better!
Good luck!
Good luck! That took guts, many people are in the same situation as you were and they never get out. Take time for yourself and figure out what you truly want to do to make yourself happy.
It suck really bad when you are not happy with your job!
I think it was very brave of you to have the courage to stand up for yourself and walk out! don't be stuck in a job that you are not happy in!
Give yourself time to chill out & then find something you like to do!
things happen for a reason!
Good luck!
Wow, you're a tough one, I'd be way too much of a pushover to do that! Best of luck job hunting, I'm sure you'll find something with 11 years experience! Maybe as a motivational speaker, I could certainly do with it!
good luck wit the job hunting
oh and the question was ?
I would never just quit a job when I know I have bills to pay and food need for the table, but good luck, might have to hit the temp agencys for a quick turn around job.
take him to a tribunal. you can claim that you were drove to resigning because of bullying you endured because of him/her. and he/she has bullied you no matter how much you look at it. dont let him/her get away with it.
Good luck to you! I agree it's time to start job hunting and I hope someone at your old job will provide you with a reference letter. Finding a job isn't easy but putting up with a complete tool that micromanages and has control issues will drive a person to the brink of sanity. I speak from experience, only I'm using this as leverage for more money..
As I said before, Cheers, good luck! Go get good and sloshy and start looking first of the week!
Maybe it's time to go back and apologize. We all have our little "temper tantrums" from time to time. Maybe this would be a good opportunity for you to openly discuss the criticism and have something good come from this minor meltdown. If you've been there 11 years and have given 110%, I'd certainly be willing to hear an employee's apology if I were your boss. Good help is hard to find and expensive to train, so swallow your pride and apologize ASAP. Isn't it also possible that your boss might regret what he said? We're all human, and we come into work with our human problems and issues. Maybe he's embarrassed about all of this, too.
Probably best that you get your cv out straight away and update it. When going for interviews it's probably best to not mention walking out but stating that you are looking for a new challenge.
Good luck
Not the best way to handle things, I suffered abuse on my last position, good for you. Put the best spin on it you can get a resume together and get back in the game. You know who your companies competitors are start with them, and come prepared with allot of insider information, after all what have you got to lose?
I'd suggest that you take a few days (maybe just the weekend) to let your anger go. If you don't let it go, it will show in your job interview. No one wants to hire someone that's angry.
Determine what your strategy will be in your job hunt. Specifically, you need to figure out what you're going to say when people asked why you're looking or why you left your last job. Again, you don't want to come across as being angry. Also, recruiters may not like the fact that you just walked out. I would suggest that you not mention that specifically. Instead, you can talk about how you were there for 11 years and wasn't able to make the level of impact that you desired.
You don't want to paint the picture that you're a hothead and may storm out of the office at any moment.
Can you find some temporary employment while you look?
Can you get some good referrals from co-workers at your last job (the one you just left)?
I hope this helps and I wish you the best.
BTW, I help people get out of debt so contact me if you need some specific advice on that subject.

Well not what you want to hear, but you've cut off your own nose to spite your face.. you don't sound like a person with debts and responsibilities. You are probably in breach of your employment contract as you probably have to give notice.
Next time, grit your teeth and take the criticism. its part of being a grown up and if you are really not happy with your workplace, then I find a good tip, is to find another job before jacking in your old one!!
2 options.. go back grovelling and tell them you had something happen in your personal life to make you react that way and you are sorry..
Or go to the temping agency in the morning.
In any event, you are in breach of contract and if you're still hell bent on walking out in this immature way, then give them notice.
We all have differences of opinion and we are all at work to do a job, but ultimately its your line managers decision that is final, no matter how much you disagree with it.
Hi Hun, Just Trust The Lord. ((( hugs )))
Yes, it doesn't sound a nice position to have been in and it does sound as though you will be better out of it although it doesn't seem as though you had thought it all through! Don't worry though, as long as you have good qualifications, experience, track record and a positive attitude to work, I don't think you will be without a job too long. There are businesses out there who have been waiting ages to get someone - you start looking and you don't know what you might find. Good for you . from what you've said it sounds like you deserve a job where you will get more appreciation for your efforts and achievements. All the best with the job hunting.
If you weren't happy in your work place you weren't really happy anywhere is the way I look at it. It is very hard to seperate the 2 so if you feel better now then you did the right thing. Just put your resume out there you'll be hired somewhere. There are a few sites that post resumes for jobs check them out.
Sorry how things went for you today at work! God has something good in store for you. Remember when He closes a door He opens a window! Find your teisha-ness! If you don't know what that means GO SEE THE MOVIE YOU, ME, & DUPREE. I don't know if they show it where you are, but if they do you should see it!
Remember to keep things in Question format when asking a question so the Police don't report you.
yes & good luck I don't blame you for what you did
& I have done it before myself
don't worry you will find a better job, just keep on searching
there are many ways: the computer, the yellow pages,
friends, family
Good luck on your search
Very gutsy move, Oftentimes such gambles pay off big time.
One thing to be sure of though, you will still have a roof over your head and food in your stomach; all the rest is just glitter.
May God grant you the good fortune to find your path to happiness, for happiness is the one goal everybody seeks.
I understand what you are going through, sometimes it just comes to the point you can not take it anymore, when you are giving and giving and are not appreciated. You have alot of experience, start your search right a way and you will find a better job then the last, just remember not to bad mouth your last employer. When going on your next interview, tell them you left to find a job with growth potential for someone that is dedicated and hard working. Best of luck to you, you can do it!
I would suggest applying at various temp agencies. However, I would contact the human resources department at your old company and give them your side of the story. Otherwise, your old manager will continue to treat people the way he treated you. You never know, maybe they will invite you back to the company under a different manager. In the future, I would suggest contacting your human resources department before a big blow-out like this occurs.
hope you find something soon.
You've got to be true to yourself, good luck with the job hunting
you will find another job but it may take time. good attitude will take you far..
What do you do if you are not confident about aspects of a new job?

I live on my own, have many debts and don't know what to do now. However, I took a lot of undeserved criticism and feel I did the right thing.
