Just had to tell work im thinkin of leaving......

[cossy400]

Long story short, they paid for my class 1 in march, was averaging 60/65 hrs and 3 nights a week out but slack weeks it was only 2.

this month ive had 2 50 hr weeks and no nights out all month.

Now me telling him this may sound harsh, but the other lads have had 70/80 hr weeks and nights out all week, so I broached the subject at the begingin of the week and got told it was coming etc.

Nothins come hrs or nights out, well sat here tonight after id asked the question again tonight seein as its Friday tomorrow and got brushed aside basically, so mithered myself abit and rang him up asking how much its goin cost me to leave??

(the others have still been out all week)

Instantly hes on the defensive (you carnt leave etc why do you want leave) so ive told him flat 50 hrs is of no use to me, neither is working a sat to "top" my money up.

Im not a well off man but im comfortable and with my "flat" earning I could cover all my bills and still be comfortable, but the extras pay for the enjoyments in life, so if im not goin to afford them ive no reason to want to go to work for them.

He just said ill see you when you get back tomorrow, I genuinely like the job and they ve been good to me in regards to paying for me to do it etc, but im goin end up on less this month than when I was on a rigid.

Think I should of just handed my notice in now and dealt with it then.

Am I right to be mithered? or should I just man and take getting treated like a doormat?

This is why ive said something rather than just jump ship. But I will be making it clear today that ill be makin enquiries.

See whats said later.

i understand where your coming from, but they ve still paid and ive never expected a free ride as such, so I asked the question.

But I keep hearing conflicting advice regards them payin for it, as they ve paid for it for there gain as such?

So they cannot claw it back from me etc if I leave by handing my notice in or just walking.

O
Even companies who are organised enough to get employees to sign something in writing about refunding training costs, will find it hard to actually get the money back. It's something that employment law specialists would run a chariot of fire through.

This is what im being told, which might explain his voice droppin when I topd them I was going.

Job I want to go to need 6 months driving experience well thats end to of sept so not long to wait, if nothing changes ill be off.
