Re: LOOKING FOR BEST WAY TO QUIT JOB OF 1+ MONTH
I'd like to do this with as clean a conscience as possible, but I'm really bad at being tactful. Usually when I'm honest, I'm brutally honest and have a tendency to burn bridges unintentionally.
hy millingnovice it is good that you wish for clean conversations, and you also know that you are a bit to burn bridges : it means that you can see yourself from the outside, and analyze your actions ... this is very good
as for the long run, burning bridges, actually, means that at this moment you can not master your fear, your self ... here is a catch : you can use your inner fire to grow and develop, or to put your self in conflicts with others ... the choice is yours the diffence between those is if you can control your fire or not
controlloling one self comes from higher peace of mind; this is achieved in different manners, not in one day, but one of them is gaining trust in you by solving things at work, developing you as a machinist to such a level that alows to be calm when others seems to lose it
at this moment, you are not there, maybe you are young, etc
at the begining, look for help, for training, invest much in you ... otherwise, you may end up stacked at a non qualified level, and when you reach 60s, you will be glad that you could wrote a counting macro ...
I've found a company nearby who needs someone for almost exactly what I was doing before, with added benefits and lots of potential for growth.
what where you doing before ?
For context, they were without someone in this position for 6+ months and shelled out quite a chunk of change to get me trained on their software
knowing your other post : https://www.cnczone.com/forums/gener...ml#post2529455
i can tell that your current shops is not looking to achieve performance
So I've gone and gotten burnt out on trying to train myself.
don't discourage yourself ... at the begining there is a lot of misshots again, i insist in being near someone that is stronger in this trade, so to shorten your learning curve; it is ok to try things on your own, but periodically compare them to others worrkflow or opinions, get your feedback, get your criticism from others, because only you with yourself, you will loose yout time and mind
I don't have an official start date as of yet, but I do have an official offer for employment
keep your actual job, but in paralel go to the other place for a couple of days; a week should be enough for you to make an opinion; you can also work at one place monday-[friday-1/ wtf day is there beoree friday?] then work at the other place friday+weekend
thus try the 2nd job as you are still employed, and don't trust only an offer sometimes expectations are <> reality
I've thought about coming up with a story about one of a dozen things, but that doesn't feel right
I'm a jumble right now.
you are not sure on yourself; some places can generate a lot of useless noise, make you doubt, etc
a clean direct conversation will leave you with a clear mind, without questions ...
unlikely event I need to come back here?
you can not go back there with same skill and expectaitions as then when you left ... it means that you simply use that job as a side cover, and the employer will get you back simply because he has no other; this means that you failed ...
if you go back there, even as a small visit, or a simple 1 day to help, you will have to show visible improvement, but that improvement has to be accepted and understood by those from that previous place ... because not all guys can see value
no employer wants someone that comes and goes ...
as a small conclusion, invest in your self, develop, set and achieve goals, and set timeframes for those machining is a nice trade
time is the key : if you use your time more for others, and less for yourself, or viceversa ?
Be honest and offer to help them out of the bind if your absence causes them angst. A short time working off hours with the old company as a consultant would make you a nice chunk of change. They could use you to bring a new guy up to speed without wasting $ on formal training.
that's a good advice
"Employee" is not = servant. "Employees" are partners.
an employee is anywhere between a 'stronger pillar than manager' and a 'easy to replace resource'
it means that it can be something greater than a partner, but also something much worse than a servant
the way I see it is if things were ideal then you wouldn't be leaving for something else .
it happens especially, when is something that involves women
