The last week in a job

BenjiM · 2023-02-13T13:41:18Z

God, it drags doesn't it and it's only Monday. After getting the role at the back end of 2021 and thinking this is great, 4 days a week decent holidays and a small team. It's gone to 5 days a week, not being able to get the promised holidays in (contract never made an appearance, yes my fault for taking it on, but small company etc.) and pretty much not doing what I thought I was being employed to do. Backwards thinking, biggoted views are rife, horrendous commercial decisions on a daily basis, getting in consultants to tell them exactly what I told them 6 months ago. Happy to be leaving and taking on a mammoth task at a recently closed cheesemaking site to bring it back up to spec. 4 days to go! Anyone else moving on this week or have any tales of leaving a job where the grass seemed greener and it went spectaculalrly wrong?

The commercial “director” (not an actual director on the books, just calls herself that, a glorified PA otherwise)

Relative of the owner? I hear so often of useless folk like this.

Not a relative, just lives round the corner, but yeah, I've seen similar at other companies.
