    I am currently a science teacher on summer break.

    We are so much more complicated than our names.

    Sounds like an awesome perk of being a teacher. Speaking of which, thanks! Teachers are very important. I personally think my science teacher last year was one of the best teacher's I've had.

    It is nice, yes. But I don't really have summers off. I've already earned my paychecks for the two months I'm off, but the state holds it back so they can pay me then. I also have trainings starting next month (boo).

    You're welcome. Science teachers are a special kind of crazy.

    I am a supervisor at a factory conducting many different forms of heat treatment, my own department specialises in Plasma Nitriding and that's all I'm allowed to say about that. I Have been here for a number of years now and I'm currently under going training internal and external to become the next Quality Manager.

    Before that I spent a few months working at a Jaguar Land Rover site working on the production line. Reason for leaving - got a better offer.

    Before that I worked I a warehouse painting furniture for events. Reason for leaving - it was bad for the environment.

    Before that I sold sandwiches on a wagon - awesome in the summer. Reason for leaving - it got awkward.

    Before that I worked I a garage painting cars and doing body work. Reason for leaving - argument with my boss.

    Before that another garage doing the same. Reason for leaving - it shut down.

    In have never not worked since leaving education.

    Congrats Nalas! I've never heard of that place before but I looked it up online; I realize i have heard of it. It looks like a great place to work!

    I think i last posted about my terrifying workload of a job in September 2015. All the hard work paid off; I was recruited for an Associate Analyst position within Cyber Security for the credit card company! I've been in the role for a month and am their first hybrid (Cyber & Physical operations). It about doubled my income, so I am overly excited naturally. I'm also way ahead of my game too, nothing but great praise.

    I can FINALLY SAY IT!

    I HAVE A CAREER!

    Thanks, Utora! I had my orientation on Wednesday, and it went smoothly. I gave my two weeks notice to Walmart yesterday.... I'm excited to fully start my job at Benihana.

    And congrats on your career!

    I got fired last month. In very strange circumstances.
    I'm doing my 2 months notice now, and my last day is September 23rd.
    Shame. I really loved my job, not to mention the hours, and Thursdays off.
    I didn't like my supervisor though, kept blaming me for stuff I didn't do, and I had to clean up everyone's mess.

    The administrator director gave me some reasons.
    Then my boss gave me some reasons.

    I was great, I was fast, eager to learn, I'm great on the phone, nothing but great and good things. Why fire me? lol
    So they hired someone new for the front desk, and moved someone else from front desk to my position. So that's 2 people they need to learn new stuff. Instead of just keeping me, who already knows how to do everything?

    But turns out my supervisor didn't really like me. I'm her help, so if she doesn't like me, then that's tough luck for me.
    Other collegues have been telling stories about her to me these past 3 weeks, that made my jaw drop!

    Also, she was on holidays and back last week Tuesday. It then took her 4 days, to read the e-mail that our boss had send, that I'm leaving.
    Strange.
    When I casually told her last week Friday "You know I'm leaving at the end of September?" she started looking at her PC screen and says "oh yeah, I'm just seeing the e-mail right now".

    1. no, you didn't just see that e-mail, you've been back for 4 days already
    2. how on earth could you not know that I got fired? You are my supervisor, I'm your help/assistant, surely you were the first to know

    I told this to my other collegues tomorrow, and they broke down in hilarious laughter, telling me she was indeed the first to know I wasn't staying.

    Why does this crap always happen to me

    I've been nothing but nice to her, but I guess whenever she told me I did something wrong, while it wasn't me, I opened my mouth!
    I'm not going to let someone accuse me of doing things wrong, while I didn't! And I made sure the entire office could here.
    I didn't want other to think, that I kept doing stuff wrong, while I didn't.

    Owh I'm sorry to hear that Nathalie.

    That sounds like some very sketchy (passive/aggressive) management. Do you get something from the company (payments) since they cut you off or how does it work in Belgium??

    I guess you're interested in knowing now ha ? haha
    You could just easily ask him, hehe ^^

    But yes, there's unemployment "benefits".
    But only if they fire you. If you quit, you get nothing.
    They keep paying me monthly for as long as I'm there, which is normal/obvious.
    If I had decided I didn't want to do my 2 months notice, then they would have payed me those 2 months in 1 time, and I didn't had to work anymore those 2 months.

    Once you stop working, you can apply for the unemployment things, and you get a monthly pay, which gets less and less every few months, untill you find a new job.
