Shall I tell them part deux - no - you are going - they are clearly not interested in keeping you.
( my gt nephew who is into internet hacking and cybersecurity keeps on getting pay rises ( + car + motorbike + .....)
I cost my employer £250 000 for their unlawful activity ( not payable to me unfortunately chiz chizz). They were so uninterested in saving any money I thought - god someone else can do this again in a year or two
(public money of course)
I would emphasise your intended future, rather than your experiences of the past. Accentuate the positive.
I would gloss over your unhappiness, and move on wishing them well. You never know...
Say nothing about your real reasons either in your letter or in your exit interview. You never know who might be contacting your current employer in the future for references and there are ways and means of giving poor ones. Leave on a positive note. David gives good advice.
Corby, There's no benefit in taking chances - or in scuppering your own chances of a bright future on the off chance it might benefit a stranger. Keep schtum, smile nicely and go happily on your way, Eve.
// Very good advice from Naomi - and I speak from bitter experience of the "old boy employers' network".//
data protection - you can demand references.... people do.
if you can bear the details of being shafted Canary I wd be interested. Having been an employer having had a wonkey reference for a candidate - you can always ask what it was about.
As an employer I limited myself to the american system - was he an employee, what is his health record and would you employ him again ( yes or no)
but this is not about future refs ( or even ref guarding )
regination - - I am going is good enough
///if you can bear the details of being shafted Canary I wd be interested. ///
These days I would indeed have this protection, but this was way back in 1971, and I although the signs were there during the 6 months I spent on the dole, I only got positive proof 2 jobs later - I decided not to pursue it as Discretion is the better part of Valour and I doubt if the Courts would have supported me at that time anyway.
My brudda was interviewed and they said ( Norwich Hosp 1980) - the only reason why you are here is to learn that you should NOT use one of your referees.....
references are NOT meant to be read until AFTER the interview
Later - - the evil nosferatu said - oh Aleksandr - I hear you are going for a job.... I will ring up and put in a good word for you!
( Aleksondrrrr later confessed it was difficult NOT to say - please dont please dont I really want this one ....)
good luck, eve. Resigning without another job to go to tomorrow is like retiring, you have to play it by ear; but figure out your strengths and look for work where you can use them.
