Redundancy

Sometimes things move faster than planned, as of next month I'm a fully fledged member of the suit wearing ******s brigade. After just over 9 months of trucking I just landed the job as Deputy Fleet Manager for a very large "company". I thought the position was way out of my league and only applied hesitantly, but once the recruitment started I threw everything at it. I've got next to no experience in the branch I'm moving into but everything I've done in the past let me tick all the requirement boxes.

Just thought I'd throw it out there to emphasise there's opportunities out there for vacancies that you don't necessarily have prior experience to do but where your prior experience put together can open doors that you didn't realise you had the keys to.

So you're not going to 'keep on trucking'?

Zwei Dumme, eine Gedanke

[McD]

After starting a new job last autumn, today I finished up, and start a new job with another company on Tuesday.

the place I’ve just left, whilst some of the people are great and I’ve genuinely enjoyed their company, the organisation itself is really quite frighteningly archaic. It was like working in the early 90s, little embracing of technology and even less appetite for adopting it. Any change is forced upon them. Coupled with very little structure, I decided I needed to Change before the frustration really set in and began to drag me down. I described the last 8 months as like watching a bunch of wee boys playing football, with all of them stampeding after the ball, that’s what my workload looked and felt like no planning or preparation or structure
each dept, each day, the plan felt like ‘let’s just get to lunchtime and see where we are’, followed by ‘ok, let’s get to the end of the day and see where we are tomorrow, repeat daily.

that all said, as mentioned, I met some great people, many of whom I will keep in touch with, got to learn about a new industry and got another opportunity to see if my skills are transferable (they are). And now I’m looking forward to working in a company where I think I can make a positive impact, my new boss seems great and invested in her people.

if anyone is in a job they feel unhappy in, please, don’t just exist in it and plod on. Ask yourself if you can make positive changes to what you do (I tried and it was made clear it wouldn’t happen, they weren’t interested in modernising or seeing what was happening in the outside world), or seek something that will give you more fulfilment 😊
