I quit

[Rawne1980]

I've quit 1 career and 1 job (there is a difference).

I left the army after 12 years to be with my wife and kids. I missed my kids births, first steps and first words because I was never home. I couldn't miss any more so I left.

I got a job as a chef shortly after and quickly came to the realisation that I can't work for *civvies* (I haven't adjusted to being out of the forces very well). We had a bad service one night and the manager came into the kitchen to give bollockings and I came close to caving his face in.

I walked out. I wasn't very good anyway, i'd done a course in catering early in my army career just so I had some qualifications to fall back on but I hated it.

So now I work for myself. The hours are great and the pay is awesome.

I've never been fired, so I've quite every job I've had.

One because I *refuse* to be a part of a union. They took dues from me without my consent and didn't offer me anything in return. Unfortunately I was too young and stupid to file a complaint and walk away with something other than a bitter taste in my mouth.

One because my supervisors and I began having far too many conflicts to maintain a professional working environment. I don't need to have a 2 hour meeting with 3 supervisors to discuss how I can more effectively utilize my time to do what they all need me to do.

One because there wasn't enough work. I came to learn the company folded shortly after I departed for greener pastures.

One because they admitted to not paying me enough and because they tried to fire me over a rediculously convoluted safety procedure that was blown entirely out of proportion and wasn't actually caused by me.

And my current one eventually because my degree will warrant a change in careers. I've liked all my jobs, minus the few things that lead to their inevitable end of course.
