Title: I did it ... Post by: JessW on August 09, 2012, 01:06:51 pm I handed in my notice yesterday.
My bosses have so much wool in their heads, none of them really believed I would go ahead and do it (and despite everything that I was telling them to keep them up to date too!). I even put in a pitch about new contract, reduced salary and working distance! I am now decluttering all my 'things to do' now and feel free - at last! I am now concentrating more on setting up independently (VA type work!) and really enjoying the challenge! Wish me luck guys - this time next month I will be living the dream in France! Jess ;D Title: Re: I did it ... Post by: Cozwaz on August 09, 2012, 01:28:38 pm Wow Jess fantastic - good for you.
All the best with the move and lots of luck with the new venture Coz :) Title: Re: I did it ... Post by: Sunflower on August 09, 2012, 01:59:08 pm Wow wow wow - I do wish you the best of luck, Jess.
I didn't know this was on the cards (sorry if you've posted and I've not seen). France - c'est très magnifique. I wonder why they didn't take you seriously - with your new pitch, salary etc? Their loss :) When do you leave? Title: Re: I did it ... Post by: JessW on August 09, 2012, 02:28:22 pm My last day is 7 September (Yippee!)

Title: Re: I did it ... Post by: Jackie G on August 09, 2012, 06:12:16 pm Well done Jess, you said you would and you have. I think they'd be silly not to consider your pitch for distance working!!!
