Cheers guys, the search has merely begun. i've already got a few feelers out and my resume sent to a few recruiters. Already started trolling the internal joblistings at a couple of other companies too.

I'm hoping this issue is quickly sorted, for my sanity as much as anything.

b.t.w. cheers dave, appreciated

It's probably not a bad thing. I've known lots of people who've worked for Boral and without exception everyone has said they are a real pack of arseholes

A guy I know had similarly bad experiences.

no good mate.

what mina said.

time for beer, lamb casserole, korn being cranked fnucking loud and a session on seek.com.au.

geez Mike
that tuff.... sound like a pack of a-holes

just make sure you trip over and disable some router/hub cabling
as you leave...accidentally of course
and I better stop buying Boral building products on my renos

good luck with the job hunting


cheers

Bad Luck, hope you find something soon.

Hope this helps

Never a good thing to be let go like that, especially when they give pathetic reasons.

One thing I know is, if you are in a rush to find a job it is more likely you will find another bad one. Unfortunately if you had the time to look for a really good job you wouldn't need to be looking.....

i know, hence i am being cautious about where im trying to find a job.

Boral wasn't bad per-se, well in all aspects, some where good (the people were/are fantastic, those that arent managers that is) but there's apparently been a lot of rot around from what i've heard. When i told a user i'm being given the boot he said ffs ever since they did a merger 8 momths ago, there's been nothing but problems with far far too many people being let go for no real reason.

no ones complained about how i operated with getting things resolved, it was only a wanky *management* thing that tripped me up.

as that cartoon cat (whats his fuggin name??) would say "sufferin sabotage"
im with smitty...fark em over from the inside ....

good luck finding a new job (oh dont put down on ur resume that u brought boral to the ground by crushing there system tho- i dont think employers would like that)

thhiilllvettthhhter the cat!!!
thuckering thuckatash!

nah i wont do that, not at least until ive left and they forget to remove my remote access abilities.......

That Blows Mike, I'm sure things things will work out for you though.

indeed, im applying for a few jobs that are about 15-25k above what im getting at Boral *grin*. Hopefully one of them are fooli... urm smart enough to snap me up

some semi good news, pending a 2nd reference (mere formality), i will be the lucky recipient of a new job, which is a shedload better than this one at boral ever would hope to be. Better pay, shift loading, manager that hopefully isn't an arse.

Went for the interview 8:30, recieved a call while enroute to my last day at boral (they left a vm) stating they are way interested, got references 1/2 sorted, got a police check as they do some govvie networks here & there and im done & dusted!!!


WOOTAHH go fujitsu

good work mike...
15-25k a yr more?? thats $300-500 a week extra...thats a bike repayment....

look out new honda!!
