Yay - new job

[C.A.R.]

Finally gave up waiting for the situation at my current work place to improve.

Basically, I have witnessed first-hand what nepotism is.

I didn't know the meaning of that word 2 years ago, so for those of you who also don't know-
Nepotism - the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs.



Basically - the MD employed his son at the same level as me, despite my 5+ years experience advantage (now 8 years in the industry). My natural path of progression to a management role had been intersected by a posh little twat fresh out of secondary school, with no interest in learning the industry or taking advice from anyone but his dad.

I put up with this for 2 years and was constantly unhappy, moaning etc. I posted something on PistonHeads and one person replied saying that I simply need to move on - because the younger family member(s) will always be favoured and it will only ever get worse.

So this January, going back into work immediately de-motivated I decided to do something about it. I updated my CV and started sending out the applications. I finally found a role and got my written job offer in the post today.

Absolutely can't wait.

So, anyone else in my situation - don't put up with it, vote with your feet. This company is destined for failure with the way it (isn't) being managed.

So the drinks would be on me (if I had any money). Oh, and the sad news is that the new role includes a company car, so the little 306 might finally be getting sold
