Am being seduced by a consultancy firm at the moment. Whilst the people who work there are of top quality and it's kinda like working with the best of the best, I just don't know if I am ready for the power suit and I wasn't blessed with glossy thick perfect hair so I'm not sure whether I can pull off the look. It's all under the table, the partner I'm friends with doesn't want to be seen to be poaching me so we meet in dim coffee shops. Yesterday he told me I was a 'known person of substance'. I sure hope he was referring to my work and not my weight. This time he actually asked me directly if I would like to work for his company. They don't take just anyone so it is flattering but they want me to go permanent and I just want to go contracting and have a couple of flings before settling down with another company.
I emailed the head of HR yesterday (well if they wanted me to go to someone lower down the chain then they should publish their contact details on the intranet). I requested a review of my bonus calculation two months ago now and I still haven't got any answer. My email was something like 'I still have not had any response after two months, clearly management are not taking this matter seriously and so I have commenced looking for work elsewhere.'
Well boy did that get a response, I've never had so many phone calls from HR, I ignored them as I want them to respond in writing. I got pulled into a manager's office and was told they had been looking into it and they had found an error but they weren't going to tell me anything till a correction was approved. I felt like I was being told off for being a petulant child.
So I'm gonna get the rest of my bonus but I'm still planning on quitting on January 4th. I've got my permanent job offers to fall back on if I can't arrange contract work.
