Thanks, Susie.

My Area Manager has been in contact and is the first person within the company to react to my resignation like a human being! She gave me the corporate spin bollocks about her getting a promotion soon and me being in line for her job, but apart from that it was just a nice chat between colleagues. I scoffed at her suggestions about the ‘great career path in retail’ for those with a bit of intelligence. I told her ‘that’s fine if you want it, but my years in this industry have taught me that I don’t’ and left it at that. We then had a bit of a chinwag about the new job and she did actually make some good suggestions – things I won’t bore you with here, but ways in which my time in Supermarket Filling Station Area Sub-Division Multi-Site Management might be useful.
See – that’s another positive aspect of making this change. For the first time in years, I’ll know exactly what my job title is!
