I Quit

[Razorvich]

I have just resigned from my job of 14 years managing an Independant Supermarket with the highest turnover in the state.

I asked for a pay rise and the owner said "I sleep well at night knowing I pay you the right amount"

Fucking bullshit you 'out of touch' tight asshole .. the store earns $120000 GP per WEEK !!!.. and i bet he pisses $10000 per week up a wall.....

Within 14 hours after this conversation on Thursday I had 2 interviews, one paying 5000 more that I was on.... the other paying 15000 more, with a 3 monthly bonus and extra holidays...

Guess which job I have accepted?

This is what I sent my current soon to be EX boss......

Greetings Jack.

Since I have been working for you the money has not been enough.
When my money is not enough I become unhappy.
When I am unhappy I eat more, and when I eat more I become fat.
When I become fat it hurts your company image.
When your company image is affected, your business is not good.
When your business is not good, you will become unhappy.
When you become unhappy you will eat more.
I am afraid you will become fat like me.

I must resign before that happens.

My last day of work will be Thursday 17 Feb 2022.

-------------------------------

600+ hours of holiday pay owing + Long service leave pay owing....

YEAH BABY YEAH... big party here in 4 weeks.. all are invited

[TeeGee]

And Congrats on the new job and extra $$$

[Keefie]

[Razorvich]

Long ass notice.

[jusplay4fun]

Good for you, Raz.

I have told more than one person that sometimes it is necessary to leave an organization (or business or place) to be:

1) better paid (compensated), and
2) truly appreciated for what you do.

To get better pay and LESS work, NICE..!

And enjoy the Party..! And have a drink or two for me..!!

It’s one thing for the owner to refuse/deny a raise.

If he really said “I sleep well at night knowing I pay you the right amount.” he’s just a dickhead.

He’s likely going to have to pay your replacement more than he would’ve had to pay you to keep you AND this replacement will take months to get up to speed and be fully effective. It’s quite possible he will hire new lose one or two people before he finds a ‘permanent’/long term replacement.

Wicked nice Raz!! G4U!!")>

Good job dude. Congrats.

I'll only come to your party and be your friend if there's booze

[2dimes]

It's in Australia. There will be booze. The BBQ might be a griddle though. The food should still be pretty good.

It's a long flight, even if you stop for a night or two in Hawaii.

[DirtyDishSoap]

Australia?!

Their booze is expensive as shit!

New plan razor. You can mail me said booze and i will Skype you until k finish the booze. Failure to do so, then i will make fun of your nose.

Leave it to DirtySD to think with his Mouth Open Wide. Drink away, dds.

Anyway, Congratulations, Raz. Enjoy the FUN, and you can ignore dds. His brain is not working well now.

-----------Well...to be fair....Suppose The Owner sleeps well with unwillingly giving you a few cases of certain liquid containers in your last few weeks, that mysteriously end up at your retirement party... ...That is if those items are sold at your location...I think in Canada they have separate stores for that kind of stuff...
-----------Drink up Razz... Congratulations...Jp4fun left out one thing...As jobs go...You have to love what you do...To enjoy your work... ... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

I did not know I was expected to provide a thesis on the role of work in the world. I was merely responding to the situation that Raz has shared with us. Let me attempt to be succinct here.

I will first say that OF COURSE I agree with ConfSS that one should enjoy the work that one does. There is the often-quoted idea that if one does a job, one enjoys that he never does actual work. It goes:

“Do what you’ll love, and you’ll never work another day in your life.”

Here is what other wise men have said about work:

In restating the church's teaching on human work, [Pope] John Paul [II] repeatedly cites God's command to man in Genesis to "subdue the earth." The Pope interprets this to mean that man is the "subject of labor" and that "work is 'for man,' and never man 'for work.' "

And:

“Work was made for man, and not man for work. Work is man’s servant, both in its results to the worker and the world. Man is not work’s servant, save as an almost universal perversion has made him such.”
— J.G. Holland

btw: about 150 words for my response here, so this "treatise" is reasonably succinct, imo.

Cool. Congrats and good luck in the new job!

[2dimes]

How is tge new job?

[Razorvich]

so far so good.. its a bigger job than I thought. The database is a mess, prices are all over the place, and GP is not correct.

but.. I am making progress.

How is tge new job?

[2dimes]

Sounds like it might eventually be satisfying. A pal of mine has a saying about how daunting it seemed when he built his plane.

"How do you eat an elephant? One fork sized piece of meat at a time."

[DirtyDishSoap]

I'm still waiting for my booze and Skype call
