WesBur13 7 August 30, 2014 Share August 30, 2014 So I had been having issues with the owner of the phone repAir store I worked at. He was verbally abusive and blamed be for ALL issues. None of which were caused by me. He had his whole company relying on me when he had other work he should of made actualy work. One employee has work there for 1.5 months and has not done a single repair. Yet I did 7 a day. Mind you during this he treated my like crap and even demoted me for his own error by ordering the wrong part. So I quit, any professional would not of made one person work and every person do nothing. His company will now most likely fail, and do I feel bad? No. He is telling other employees I was planning on killing the company and was going to work for rivals. No I'm not. Went in today to pickup my souldering iron, a knife set, and a digital multimeter. Knife set is missing most parts, and the souldering iron controller is peppered with melted holes the size of the iron tip. It will no longer turn on. I'm glad to be done. Now I can move on to new journeys in life! Any tips? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'aiq the Liar 5,804 August 31, 2014 Share August 31, 2014 Well, I'd see if you could do something about you destroyed tools (as that is how it sounds in your post). But other than that it sounds like you dealt with alot of stress, I'd take some time off (not alot, but enough to unwind) and just look for another job. If you can do electronic repair well, then you are sure to find a new job in little time. http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/vera-yeoman-r5921Muh pleb tier OC .http://mlpforums.com/blog/1663/entry-12477-pony-waifu-wedding-13-maiq-x-fleetfoot/ MLP forum's #1 Fleetfoot fan also married to fleetfoot <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesBur13 7 August 31, 2014 Author Share August 31, 2014 I had been dealing with all the issues for 6 months. I can find another repair job just fine. It's just the way he handled everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
None 189 August 31, 2014 Share August 31, 2014 What you should do now is find a better freaking employer. That dude sounds like crap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A/H 81 August 31, 2014 Share August 31, 2014 What you should do now is find a better freaking employer. That dude sounds like crap. I second this. You could probably do better anyways. People can always do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,816 August 31, 2014 Share August 31, 2014 Do you have any ideas for job prospects? I can understand why you quit your job, I would love to tell my employer to take this job and shove it but with the job market the way it is it seems like a bad idea to quit your job unless you have another job lined up by time you send your walking papers. You have one advantage and that is a valuable skill that most people don't have, you could work for another repair company. 2 Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meirno 550 August 31, 2014 Share August 31, 2014 Well, being out of a job without direction is a mixed bag of nuts brother. If you live for free, it's great. It gives you time to figure out what you want to do. Pursue your dream job, try new experiences, all sorts of great opportunities. But if you're living on your paychecks, you've got to work fast to keep yourself afloat. Some things you can ask yourself; What do I want to do with my career? Do I have time and resources to go to school? How long do I have before I have to start collecting a paycheck again? What are some experiences you've always wanted to try? If you enjoyed what you did with the repairing, is there another place near by? Could you open up your own shop? Do you have the resources to be able to repair all/most issues so that you can work for yourself? Proud member of the Code3 Bronies! Signature thanks to Doc Volt.

Khaoios 1,970 August 31, 2014 Share August 31, 2014 Wow...........you better find yourself a new job, b/c judging by what you said about your previous employer..........he sounds like a total prick. And yes.......there will be times where most bosses "think they're better" when in fact, they're not.........remember, in there eyes: "Its just business; nothing personally" In other words, this individual doesn't give a shit, so my suggestion to you..........find something better, 1 XBL: Riot Rojas 3DS Friend Code: 5300 - 9568 - 7902 WEB/CHANNEL: THREADS: Youtube - ThunderColt Studios MLP:FIM - Wrath of the Ancients Fan Fictions Weebly - ThunderColt Studios MLP:FIM: The Day Equestria Stood Still - Volunteers Wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeryFox 23,821 August 31, 2014 Share August 31, 2014 Yes you have the necessary skill set to find a similar job. Maybe you can do a start-up business. Hell, try crowdfunding - should you have the aptitude or time for it. 2 Sōten ni zase...Hyōrinmaru! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesBur13 7 August 31, 2014 Author Share August 31, 2014 I'm thinking of going back to what I used to do, repairing devices and restoring electronics. I made alright there, retail was just more stable pay. It used to be I could make $700 in a week but also the next make $20. All in all I now have more time for myself and family! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesBur13 7 September 1, 2014 Author Share September 1, 2014 I'll remember that and thanks for the input. I've been working now on my old personal clients. Always went out of my way to make sure they were happy including fixing their freshly fixxed iphone after they dropped it free. The man I used to work for charges $199.99 to replace a screen on an iphone 5s/5c. That repair cost $35 for parts. And about 15 mins if work. So yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A goat 323 September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 Masterbate, it always relieves stress for me. After that, think about what you're going to do. Masterbating can help you think as soon as you're done stroking yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypn0ticD 1,213 September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 How I wish I could quit my job as you have, but I'm in no position to do so… But since your douchebag of a former boss accused you of wanting to work for rivals, then why don't you do so? You can work on saving up and starting up your own business! Hypn0's Art Dump! Check it out sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao 7,756 September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 When I was job hunting, I made goals on how many jobs I would look at and such. Mine was 10 a week via on the foot or hitting the net but also learn if you can to take a break from the hunt! Sometimes looking for a job is more stressful than having a job at times...

WesBur13 7 September 1, 2014 Author Share September 1, 2014 Luckily I have some cash saved from my job so I'm not in a crazy need of a job I can look get one lined up and all that but not be rushed. Right now I'm spending time with family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
