I took a job as a purchasing manager just about 2 years ago. It was a newer startup but they treated me well at first.
Well their idea for a “purchasing manager” also includes service, reception, accounting, physical labour, transportation and more. Failure to complete all additional work results in bullying and intimidation by the companies CEO, and by the time I realized I needed to GTFO, the job market had shifted from an employees job market to an employers, and I couldn’t find shit. To top it off, I was promised a bonus that the boss did pay me… kind of, I guess he thought I wouldn’t notice that he deducted my bonus from my vacation pay.
8 months of searching and I did it, I found a job with the same title, a fat raise (70k-90k) a massively narrowed down job scope within the same industry, and it’s at an established company where I got along with both the hiring managers as if we were buddies during the interview.
I feel like the weight of the world is lifted off my shoulders and it’s finally my turn to share a feel good story.
Just wanted to share, I can finally sleep again.
