Longest hour of my life...

Fukuyama

Ahhh! I'm going insane here.

Rang my old job to try and get my old job back... I need money and I miss working there ;(

Manager is in meeting. Told to ring back in an hour.

I'm bricking it here! Minutes are going by like hours!

Anyone have a time machine and/or a sleeping pill? :pac:

kfallon

Have a ****! People always ring or call during one just to ruin it!

Duggy747

Did you leave your job or were you fired?

I recommend you go over there, kick down the door where he's having his meeting, grab him by the collar and demand your job back.

Bosses love the cut of that jib.

I hope you didn't tell him to stick his job when you left.

Manager doesn't remember you at all, and is using the time to look at your file, the cctc, then your facebook, and now your boards account.


This wont end well...

why did you leave ?

Fran1985

mate, you gotta put on your suit, and call in, and tell them you'll wait for the meeting to be over. The boss will have a lot more respect for you for doing that. Ya may not get a job, but i'm sure he'll appreciate it, unless ya told him to shove it up his @rse. In that case save your suit for another day

sidneykidney

OP is now to busy looking at job sites to worry about updating us here :pac:

Fukuyama

Don't worry, don't worry! I'll update ye all!

I rang a while ago and she was on her break. Gonna ring back in maybe ten minutes and get by begging on!

I can see it being a 'no' though. I'm calling out of the blue and I have a gut feeling

Scarydoll

Fingers crossed for you! Hope you get the job.

sidneykidney

First at a "meeting" now on her break.....Me thinks she wants you to fook off, but is to polite to tell you. Ever the optimist me :P

Marsden

If you ring again and shes in the crapper its probably a no.

What make ye think that, i mean if i were a manager of a business and a former employer rang looking for me i'd assume they are looking for a reference or their P45/60...not that they were looking for their old job back

FFS! Still on break!

Told to call back in fifteen minutes again The suspense is killing! I just want to know either way...


I have a gut feeling she'll just say outright 'sorry, not taking on'

Because I am a manager and I know others that use that wuss tactic of avoiding someone till they stop bothering you.

Well mate if she says no, just let her know if any vacancies come up your available...with you having worked there before it means they don't have to train you so it works out better for them.

Also if you don't mind me asking...Are you still in college? And where(city) are you currently living?

Snowie

Wow no wonder the country is in a state...i must say all my previous bosses were always willing to take a call from former employees even when he know they were looking for a job and there weren't any vacancies...also my last two bosses where tools, but would still take the call

That's exactly what I would think.

Though I don't know why you didn't just leave your number after the third time you called OP, instead of having to ring back yourself at fifteen minute intervals.

sidneykidney

In my previous posts I was half joking, but i seriously think she is now avoiding you. Maybe next time you call and she aint available leave your number and ask her to call you when she gets a chance, at least that way if you hear nothing you know you wont be getting the job back

It's not always a good idea to go back. Don't be to disappointed if she says no.

I wasn't sacked. I left on my own accord on a good note with a clean record.

Why so mean? At least OP is being proactive about getting himself a job, that shows a bit of maturity IMO.

No one asked about the longest hour of your life.

The thread is about Dean waiting to hear from his old job not for you to post your misspelled tripe.

So you can't get the dole, but you living in a big city surely you'd be able to find some kind of job even 10 hours a week working in Dunnes or Tesco if you get really stuck(if you've already applied for work in these places, then I apologize)

Have you tried for any grand since your in college?
