Jobless...AGAIN!! lol

Well... it finally happened, I jsut cant take it anymore, not only did I not recieve my bonus "that was enough to buy a new quad" I can't stand my bosses attitude anymore either. the yelling the throughing of tools, I jsut dont have to deal with it. so last night after hours I came back to work and left a formal letter explaining my immediate resignation. packed up my stuff and left. I got a call this morning form him asking me to call him back so I will do that in a bit and see how that goes. in the mean time it is job searching for me.


edit 2:
thsi job was good but the boss threatened my job and insults my work and they expect me to work around them... **** it... not worht the money... and on the hunt again

PCS Rocanville (where i'm working at now) is hiring welders. Something around $42 an hour, but don't quote me on that . Amazing pension and benefits, and the rates are supposed to be going up soon... nice family job!

Don't worry Matt, a guy with your skill and attitude will have a job again in no time flat!

alot of Co's in Fort Mac you can live in camp...you should almost be able to write your own pay cheque as a papered welder...it is tough finding jobs in the US and some other parts Canada but here in Alberta things are still going strong, gravy train is still chugging along...for a while yet...
you should have no problem finding a really good job...here in town oil field co are looking for ppl all the time...
