No, IF I get if I'll be buying for the Arcadia Group (You'll know them as Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, Burtons, Evans etc.)gus ceasar is a legend wrote:So you are buying dodgy trainer socks from a spiv with a suitcase?
The good thing is that I'll be able to get you some discounts or samples, so your cross dressing will become cheaper

i quit my job last year, i had been working at the place nearly 5 years started when i was 19, and was my first job in the industry. the boss owned the firm, but was a terrible manager.
He was never wrong, never planned anything properly, made us lie to customers, double standards etc,
this made working for him very stressfull to the point that in the last year i was taking tonnes of time of sick.
anyhow he started ripping into me one time, and I just told him to stick his job!
that felt pretty cool until i reached the edge of the business park, and realised i was suddenly unemployed for the first time in 5 years.
but turns out although underpaid; because i had been thrown into the deepend so often with so many customers and technologies, i was more valuble to employers than i thought, and had racked up loads of experience for someone of my age.
I ended up in a new job in two weeks; and had to turn down loads of interviews. i enjoy were i work now, and rarely miss a day.
i found out recentley though my last bosses refrence was realy bad - so bad that HR dissmissed it and recomended i take legal action against him (i had already been working there 3 months so they could see the refrence did not tally up)
just proves to me that he was / is a nasty piece of work and i should have quit sooner

I've decided not to apply.
I'd decided early on, whether due to some of the previous or my own replys, that I was thinking like the Boomer of old. Where I moved with doller signs in my eyes!
So the despite the subject of this thread the money wasn't issue.
Then it was then down to a caree choice.
However, the hours clashed with the school run between me and the wife. My current job is more flexable which I share with a colleague.
I also realised that it might be unwise to move with a resession on the way. Something which since I've now logged-on is apparrant to some of us already!
However, it has asked the question of what do want to do when I grow up!
