Got my new work contract through.. Finally.. Needs reviewing and signing by Monday.. Cheeky f*cking bastards have a non-compete clause.. 24 months after you leave the company can't work for another company that deals with any of the same clients (it's a bit more sophisticated than that.. Got a lawyer mate seeing if he can find a loophole).. Ffffff-uckkkk dat... We have so many clients I would literally have to move to WA to get work.. And I lose a permanent work car.. And I get paid monthly.. And I can't accrue more than 4 weeks leave or leave stops being accrued (currently have 7 weeks owing so gotta make sure that I am not gonna magically lose 3).. And no bonuses.. Unless you're in management.. So gotta wait for my position description to find out if I am high enough management to get bonuses.. And I have to comply with an 'IT' policy.. Which I just read and it means I can't download porn, or use UTorrent while at work! And they have a drug and alcohol policy which eliminates the couple beers at Friday pub lunches! Unless you take the afternoon off.. But that needs approval from your manager 2 days in advance... On the upside I suppose it's got more $$$$ attached and more sick days.. (Don't really care about sick days for me but I seem to take a stack to look after the little fella) On the whole.. Small company becoming big company really sucks balls..
