I didn’t want anymore issues so I just said I’ll probably just put my two weeks notice in go to America then coke back and if you still need people I’ll come back to the company.

If I’m being an ass tell me cos I really don’t see where I went wrong.

I’m also not too fussed by the job I’m just saving up atm for sept to go back to Uni.

Also I’m the UK.
