What's the hardest decision you've had to make at work?

Post Reply New Topic

For me, it was what to do when they overpaid me by several hundred dollars one paycheck and I was REALLY broke.

I ended up telling my boss since I didn't want that sort of blemish on my record if I got in trouble for not saying something. Then no one did anything about it so I ended up being able to keep it anyway (I figured, I did my part in reporting it to my boss, I'm not going to fight their lack of action!)

For me, it was resigning from my last job before deciding to go back to college full-time.

I did a lot of temping in my 20s, so I'm used to leaving companies, so I'm not afraid of leaving a job, not even if I don't know if I have work to go to next week, because the temp agency usually fixed me up with something the next week, or something very soon.

That's why I've generally been one of those kinds of people who don't take any cr@p at work. I have had a couple of jobs where people have been awful, and I've thought, y'know what? I don't have to take this? And I've typed up my resignation, or in one case, I just walked out.

I've been taking a lot of cr@p in job at the moment, though, because I think what the company does is worthwhile and I want to be a part of it. I would never take this amount of cr@p at any other company apart from this one. So, it's actually been quite hard to stick it out, there's been a bit of bullying and stuff, but I just keep thinking those individuals aren't the company, the aims and the objectives are the company are genuine and honest and I won't let a few bad apples spoil it for me.

Firing the guy who hired me.

Fining a contractor $80,000 on a construction site.

Changing career fields.

Whether or not beating the crap out of one of the most obnoxious, rude, homophobic, and stupid supervisors on the face of the earth was worth getting fired and jailed.

My hardest decision i made yesterday and that was to quit my job because i could not stop crying on the shop floor and did not want to get sacked so i quit.

Resigning from the sh*thole where I first worked - courage to go up and hand in my notice, not actually deciding to leave cos I couldn't wait
What to do when the phone rings at my new job - I DON'T DO answering the phone

We used to do metal work and it would not always
pass inspections, we had to do it all again, sometimes
it was my fault and sometimes others. When the shouting
ended, I would wonder if it was all worth it.

Whether to resign or wait to be fired.

Thanks CosmicRuss for the reply, I needed that.

The hardest decision I have had to make is to use my car
to complete work, its when you use some of your own finite
resources to keep it going. The M reg had a good few years
on it but a lot of rough treatment got it broken up, scratched
and beyond repair.
