so today I give my notice after five years.
I have taken months to consider this move.
The crunch came when our hours at the cafe were cut and now I'm $20 better off a fortnight if I don't work.
I will have more time for my kids and house work.
Yesterday my boss gave me a talking to, all because I pointed out (politely) our legal right to written notice before our shifts reduced.
She called me un reliable and implied that she only kept me employed as a sort of charitable act.
Now I have bipolar but I'm not stupid. I am reliable , I have worked bloody hard for them.
So its time to move on. Wish me luck.
