Popular Post South hams hunter 8,922 Posted June 2, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 After 7 years of mind numbing call centre work I've finally took the plunge to go fully self employed bait collecting. The place was slowly eating away at my soul 18 5 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They wouldn't give me a reference anyway, it's against company policy - they'll forward your HR folder but that's it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 5,248 Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Good luck and fair play for having the balls to make the change. More people I know talk about it than ever do it. Agree with comments on burning bridges. I try never to do that, might feel good at the time, but you never know what’s round the corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 26,132 Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 never realised there was money to be made collecting bait.... i know course fishing there were maggot farms .... anyway good luck to you mate ....wandering around the sea shore sure sounds better than being in a call centre ....i couldnt think of anything much worse to be fair 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Katchum said: You’ll never look back, I haven’t, I still do odd shift to help out at the farm I worked on but the wage is now less than a third of what I was on, an the traps are paying rest, can do as I please, when I please an answer to nobody as long as customer happy, an let’s face it, without sounding shitty ( same applies to me) you can always go back to call centre work I’m sure if it don’t work out. I’m proper enjoying it mate an even got kids involved You sound like you have a perfect work/life balance now, we are a long time dead, Life's about being truly content and making memories, anything else is icing on the cake 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
