Gidday there Mark,
To put it bluntly, I just walked away from the place.
To be honest, the actual General Manager and the Factory Manager were pretty decent guys.
The problem was that a lot of the under-management and Supervisors in this place lack any sort of people skills or technical knowledge.
I will not be spoken to, in the manner that I was by those who have no idea of what they are talking about.
On my last night there, I attempted to repair a socket-outlet that was not functioning (because of a tripped Circuit-Breaker), I was told by one of these Supervisors, that they would get another Electrician in to fix it, because in her opinion, because I was leaving I was not competent to do this job.
At that stage, I grabbed my tools, took off my overalls and said to the Supervisor that I would not be finishing the shift and was going home.
I was very wound up at this stage and anything could have happened.
I shook hands with the people on the shift that I had any respect for (all 2 of them) and walked out.
I've never quit a job in my life, that felt very scary to be walking out on a team of people that I had worked with, even for the short period that I did.
I'm back at the PoCo these days where they treat thier staff like people, not idiots.
