Well, my world has been a little topsy-turvy since October regarding my job/career.


The company I worked for was bought out at that time by a big coporate entity here in Canada, and the outlook was to be bright and the future was to hold great things for the management group (of which I am a part of).

Since then, it's pretty much a fact that we have been strung along, been taken advantage of and basically lied to about what will happen in the future. I loved what I do, but not at the risk of busting my *** for nothing.

Well, since then, I had been looking around for other lines of work. A new career path if you will.....

Put my resume up on Monster and other local job web sites to guage the intrest.

Then a few weeks ago, got the call that I hope will lead me down the right path in terms of my career aspirations.

Yesterday, after my second interview, I received a "job offer". Slept on it overnight, discussed it with some friends and family.......and woke up this morning with a great outlook on it. Good money, good benefits, NORMAL work weeks.

So as of two weeks from now, I think I will be working for a pretty cool company. Good company to work for from what I hear and read about.........




































Only bad thing is I'm a Kenseth fan....lol....


Can't wait to start my new job with the HD!

 

are you gonna be like a higher up guy there or just someone stockin shelves and helpin people decide on what lawn mower to buy?

oh and matt kenseth blows.

 

Congrats on the new job.

You could still be a #17 fan.....HD sells alot of yellow and black (junk to me) and I'm sure they'll let you bring in some Arby's.

 

Yes, Arby's would be nice.

And yeah, I'll be the guy telling the guys to stock the shelves...lol....nice change for me.

 

Good luck on the job. I know all about buyouts and being strung along. More than once. The last one I worked for a bank based here in MD. Bought by an out of state bank. From NY. Myself and a few others were told, we want you all to stay. We really need you. One year later we were all told to kiss off.

 

Kenseth fan? Guess you didn't see what Jeff did to him

 

An old co-worker of mine started with Home Depot in Atlanta when they had only 7 stores. Let's just say that due to stock options, when he left the company in the late-90's he worked because he wanted to, and not because he had to!

Although, come to think of it, the guy was really pretty much an idiot -- I remember saying to myself on more than one occassion that only in America could a bone-head like that become a multi-millionaire!

 

Good luck, hope everything goes well
