Crawley White Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 So its my last day in my current job tomorrow and I've just found out that my replacement is getting one year travel allowance from Guilford to Chichester. Now I've spent a small fortune in travelling from Crawley. Fair fcuks to them for getting a decent deal but part of me wants to be an evil swine and starting letting this little nugget of information slip to her staff which would cause more than a bit of resentment as most of them travel in from Portsmouth. I know this would make me a back stabbing, two faced little arse but the moral dilema I put to you is should I do it anyway just to make me feel better? At the moment I'm going towards the dark side of the force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawley White Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 I don't see why they would have a problem with their boss getting better wages and perks.Surely the boss has the more responsibility/stress and therefore should be getting higher wages. Ah that's logical but this is theatre, which is not. There is also a bit of resentment around the place as she used to be my Marketing Officer and you know what promotion does to people - green eyed monster comes out, and she wasn't very popular when she was here last. Impression people got is that she thought of herslef a little too highly. Can't personally say I noticed, always good at her job and did everything I wanted from a team member. Anyway, I have decided to take the moral high ground and not mention a thing, in fact fair play to her - and she is really good at her job and a nice person. Its all karma y'see.

Get them all told that the new boss is almost stealing a living . . . as well as her train fare, and she isn't actually qualified to do the job, and she's coming to do a hatchet job and within a year none of them will still be in employment here.

Members bolty58 Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 That social conscience of yours starting to wane, Crawley? Don't turn yourself inside out about it. In my experience it has been the so called 'equal opportunity for all' brigade who are the bitterest c?nts of all if someone is getting 2p more than they are. Show some moral fibre and backbone and walk away with some pride FFS. As another poster said, don't burn your bridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As another poster said, don't burn your bridges. Yep, I agree, and yes my social conscience is a bit on the wane. Sold my soul for my new job which is selling purely commerical theatre to the big regional venues (check local press for details) and the west end. Started off at the Green Room in Manchester thinking we could change the world through contemporary dance done by lesbian's who eat mung bean soup. I was wrong. Very, very wrong. Plus the pay is shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How true. At the place i used to work it was always the union geezer moaning when anyone got promoted - until he got promoted himself, then he turned into the biggest "i'm alright jack" and bastard of a boss the place had ever seen.

Big_Girl_Oral_Explosion Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 She got a travel allowance, that shows good negotiating skills at the interview, did you ask for one when you were interviewed for the job? As for the resentful lot, what stopped them applying for your position? You should always try to leave on the best terms you can for many reasons. Anyway good luck in your next step up the ladder of ambition, now the next step is to swop the Guardian for the Telegraph!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
