In the retail trade as a manager it was often far safer to let someone go before serving their full notice, as in theory and sometimes in practice they could do significant damage to the business i.e. insult customers; pursuade them to go elsewhere, or (the main problem) steal money or/and stock!  :'( :'(

Not of course suggesting you would, but that is a very REAL problem in the trade I spent 40 years in! :y

Anyway all the very best in your new venture :y :y

Good luck mate.  :)

I suspect they will not make you work your notice. Once you decide to leave there is little point in staying as your mind will be elsewhere.

I resigned my position last week and they let me leave the next day.

I didnt bother giving notice as i could see nothing to lose, I'd worked right upto the cut off date of pay, boss changed my days off to the first two of the following week, giving time for my months wage to be irreversably processed while i was still technically employed, i was due no holiday pay, so I just didnt turn in on the wednesday when i was meant to, it was common knowledge thru gossip that i'd be unlikely to return!

the company got took over anyway so they had bigger things to worry about!

Good man, I wish you all the best.

As many of you may or may not know, I work for the biggest global drinks supplier.

I do not particularly enjoy my job, but, I have one of the best pensions on the market, and the people I work with are great.

I would adore a different job, but using that brain thing It makes the most sense to stay and indulge myself in hobbies. e.g. Miggy and whisky. :y

Sorry,

I meant to add, good luck and all the best.

Also,

What type of security is it?

I used to work for a couple of security firms a good few years ago, I worked on a couple of films and tv programmes. Close protection and general guard duties.

Anyone seen 'the jacket'?

Really good Hollywood film, plus, I prtected Ciara Knightley! ;)

Hubba Hubba.
