Back at my old job.
« on: March 02, 2014, 02:10:09 PM »

After enduring nearly 6 months at my new job I resigned last Friday giving 4 weeks notice.

Body Corporate Management was not for me plus putting up with constant harassment from the manager where I nearly walked out a number of times was enough.

Sitting in an office 9 to 5 in front of a computer drove me nuts. The benefits of weekends off was good but the crap I was copping was not worth it.

So after my original boss asked me to come back to realestate, I said yes.

I missed the interaction with people and with renewed enthusiasm and clients still contacting me it was the logical choice. Another benefit is the market is rising and properties are selling quick.

Lets face it I am a salesperson not a desk jockey  ;D

The Cape trip is still on as the boss knows I go away every year.

Sorry that it didn't work for you Mark, but it's a very long day if you're not happy in what you do.

Good to see you've sorted something out. :cup: :cup:

Sorry it didn't work out for you Mark.  I only handled 6 months of BCM too before I got sick of the whinging owners.

Good luck back in RE

Well done Mark.

Once you're in RE it's hard seeing yourself doing anything else.

At least you'll never look back wishing you gave it a go....................

Best of luck with it.
If you were still getting calls, you've obviously got the respect so go with it.

Cheers

Good on you or realising it. Sometimes the grass is greener on this side o the fence. But you need to check it out. Done it many a time.
