Yeah, but he's my shy boy :qh: XD

Guess what my boss said today. That I probably should look for another job, because the management remains silent about everything and he doesn't think their going to speak anything at all. Yay. Thanks.
So I said, okay, could you give me some recommendations for the future? And he says: "then write something and I'll correct and sign it" . . . How the hell am I supposed to write recommendation of myself? This is crazy. x.x
He said that if he gets another similar job here in Poland he'll want me by his side, but I'm reluctant to the idea. As in, I don't really like it. Not that I don't like him, he's okay, but he tends to surround himself with weird people, maybe because of his bad judgement or something, but I rather stay away. Plus he's moody x.x

Haha yea :D

Oh no, I am sorry to hear that!
So it was a good idea to look for other jobs :)
But it sucks to hear that mem =.=
And I hear that regularly, that bosses tell their employees to write a recommendation for themselves. But I find this odd, too.
And it sucks that he is moody.. :(
I wish you all the best with your decisions!

Oh, that sucks mem :(

I've heard about people having to write their own recommendations as well. You should research a bit how these are supposed to be worded where you live, I've heard things about them using a weird kind of code language. Like, everything that is not really over the top praise is actually meaning some kind of critique or something.

I understand not being so amazed by the idea of following your boss somewhere else, but it's still very nice that he said that! He must really think you're a good worker and if you don't find anything before he does, getting a job close to him via this connection might still be really practical, even if it's not perfect. You can always continue looking for something else on your own then, but having connections is never a bad idea :)

That's right, you should probably see it is a chance that you should write your own recommendation. :)

And I agree with Chrizine on working with your boss :)

It's more of a challenge really, especially with my self-esteem x.x I've been writing that recommendation for about 3 hours, most of it was "I have no idea what to write" :mcsweat: (and I've been thinking about it all day too, so yay)

Sure, of course it is good to have a back up like this :qw: He's not a bad boss, it's just I'm bad with dealing with moody people and their moods. It actually scares me that he can yell one second and the next one he's all calm again. Like "how can I trust you? ;>_>" But I guess he likes me somehow and feels comfortable with me (his words, not mine) so I suppose it wouldn't be the end of the world :qlol:

Like I always say to J when he complains about his boss: if you can bear a situation then it's worth sticking with XD he felt bored in his job and then left to go join that one with the evil bitch from hell boss that shattered his self-confidence and made every day awful for him. Already now he started to complain about his new boss and how he wishes he could work with someone else because he's a little dull, I was like "already you have forgotten the lesson from last time" lol. Better the devil you know, if you can help it XD

Yea, Jacob has a point here xD You do not know how mean or stupid your next boss may be :D And still, you can look for other jobs and then apply for sth else if you find sth you like better :)

I'm not complaining that much about him, you guys XD I'm saying he's a great boss, but I could live without the whole yelling party going around my head. Plus I'm pretty sure he's gonna be my best boss through my whole life, so I'm seriously not complaining xD

Okay, I'm terrified.
Yesterday I was all happy and dope, singing, dancing and what not, weirding Ash out to the moon. I was ready to take a chill day today, do something for myself epilate them gorilla legs ;>_>, because you know, I'm on vacation now, and then I'll be unemployed, so, I was super happy and ready to find some other job, where I'd actually do something.
Then this morning happened. My boss called, said his boss called him and they don't want to pay me for sitting around in my house doing nothing, so they want me still as the branch employee (so the branch isn't closing at all), but 3 weeks in Athens, 1 week in Poland. They're gonna pay for the flights, give me an apartment in Athens, etc. etc. Same salary. My boss told me that maybe 3 weeks is too much for me, then I could try negotiating 2:2.
So I talked with Ash, and we came up with some questions. Like, if my job duties would change, or how far is the apartment from the office, is it a shared apartment or would it be my own, and I also dared to ask for per diem, if it was even possible, because you know, food costs more and stuff.
So now I'm waiting for my boss to contact me and tell me what he found out.
I'm scared they will accept the 2:2 weeks, but I'm hoping not, although it would still be a good offer.
Come on, still doing nothing, getting to see a new foreign city, get good salary and (hopefully) good conditions and then go back home, pretend to work, but actually write some stuff. I know how it's gonna work, I've been there XD It's just going to be a little tiresome with the flights. And I don't think they're going to let me wrok from home eventually (tho my boss says that maybe; I really don't think so, otherwise they would do it straight away imho).
So, still waiting, scared shitless. I have no idea what's gonna happen. I'm nervous and anxious. o3o" "orz :mcdead:
