Hi all

as some of you may know ive had issues with managers in my work, Ive got to the point again now where i dont want to be here and im considering handing in my notice tomorrow, However, i dont have a job to go to and me and the missus have a 15 month old son so need income really....

what shall i do :(
 
Thanks for all the advice guys... I've been on a few job search websites today.. I am so unsure on what I want to do as a new job... problem is I'm not to sure how work places go about GCSE grades etc as mine was 11 years ago so dont seem relevant to me.... i was thinking about going to college and doing something along the lines of IT and computer building but not to sure how the funds system works...

Do they want the fees in one lump some? The next open day isn't until August I think so a while off....

As most of you have said I should really stick this job out and apply for others... Hopefully something pops up soon though....

@Scrutinize can always count on you for a breakdown of things and how to help... much appreciated mate
 
The only reason I say about the grades is because when looking at job description on most sites they say you must have grade C or above in 3 key subjects etc... I did think to myself its a bit silly wanting to know that from years and years ago... I've worked since leaving school always been employed so that's in my favour I suppose.. I am looking have been on it all this evening searching for a new job :)

Isn't that pretty unlikely to get you a job at the end? (one with a decent income for wife+kid?)

I imagine generally your most recent qualifications matter ie gcses don't matter if you have a PhD. Less importance will be put on them with increased time since completion I imagine.

Sounds like you need to look at jobs short term, and what the market is like for a job after proposed college courses.

I see what you mean mate, I was looking at college course, However after a discussion with my wife this afternoon we've decided I will stick this job out and get on the job sites.. My wife's friend has sent her a number for a security job.. I will need to get my SIA card but hes happy to help... anybody done security work before

Are you talking about the building process as in putting a PC together, or the building process as in actually building the components? If you mean the former then have a look at the Comptia A+ (its the base IT certification) you can self study which means if you actually want the certification then you only need to pay for the exams.

https://www.youtube.com/user/professormesser

Has videos on A+, Network + and Security +, and all are free.

I left my job as a Sous Chef a bit under 18 months ago, to get a 1st line tech support job, and now in a second line apps support role and I started with no professional IT experience at all.

Think your plan to stick it out is the best, especially with a little one. Just keep working towards finding what you want to do and it will get better.

What I want to learn is the building process of a PC not the components... I'd love to be able to just have a broken pc and finding the solution to the problem... I will have a look at the video you've posted.. Thanks bud...
 
Right guys, New spanner in the works... My boss has now text all of us on our shift saying the following...

# anyone that turns up wearing the incorrect uniform will be sent home unpaid

#anyone later than 7 minutes after their start time will also be sent home without pay

Can they actually do this or is this work place becoming a joke....

Not that I do any of them but I'm looking out for my colleagues I do like

If uniform is provided or specified then why would anyone turn up in incorrect uniform?

Being late on a regular basis isn't a good sign either, I imagine it must be occurring regularly if management have put that in place, as for whether it's legal I don't know.

In this scenario you need to look out for yourself not colleagues, you can't force them to wear the correct uniform or turn up on time.

Well we have a couple of young lads that turn up late probably twice a week and one female on our shift doesn't wear her uniform t-shirt and last week was wearing flip flops in the warehouse because she had burnt feet from the sun the week before

I don't know on the legalities, but just do as he says for this. It's quite a simple task for work really.

Also 'building' computers, I can see why you'd want it for a hobby. But sadly most IT work will require more qualifications than building PCs these days.

Yeah I'm the well behaved guy at work... never do anything wrong and keep myself to myself...

I'm currently reading and studying the CompTIA A+ Book and then will sit the exam
