Got a job in the city, pays more money and wanted a career change... been at this job for 6 years and my boss is my best friend. He wont speak to me.:wacko:
See it as a positive career move for yourself... and if your boss (now ex-boss) is your best friend, then he should support you in this. Maybe I'm been superficial but that's how I see it. All the best in your new career move :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:.
It may not seem like it ATM, but you don't just resign from a job unless you see the alternative as a greater positive than the situation you were in, even if it is only at the subconscious level. Forget emotional responses such as friendship, and look at the benefits that will accrue in the future with your new position. If you were sufficiently convinced that this was the way to go (and it is a hard step to leave your comfort zone) to resign in the first place, as Jedi-77 would say, "Go with your feelings". If it doesn't work out, then you can always find something else. I did something similar, and ended up with my old job back (at a higher level) some 5 years later! Best of luck!
go for it to the max, ryno ... hit the new job full throttle ... and with your graphic design skills you should look to pick up a few bob on the side by developing a bit of private business in that field ... go, son, go....!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Give him time - he'll calm down. Be excited about your new job, or .... you'll stuff it up before you even start. Good luck with it. CheerZ Vincent
Changing jobs is always hard...... Moving out of your comfort zone and venturing into the unknown is always a little scary. However life does not stand still and you need to change jobs to broaden your experinces. This will only benefit you in the longer term. You will learn new things, meet and work with new people. Your ex-boss who is your best frind probably feels a little let down that you are leaving... feels a bit betrayed at the moment... however once the reality sinks in he will realise that this is part of life and their is no need for it to affect your friendship. Good luck and well done. Make sure you work hard in your new job and shine ..shine..shine! Cheers!
congradulations on your new job! If he is a true friend he will come too! In business! one thing you should sometimes think twice about is working for friends or family! as sometimes it works other times! It can break a friendship/family up! Just be happy that you sort of ended on good terms! you may not be talking! yes, but at least you didn't end it in war! and never speak again! so give it time! Friends will usually pull through and get over it! He is just upset to have lost a good mate to talk to everyday! Meet up after work with him for a beer! and talk about it! Let him know why you left and you didn't do it to offend him...bla bla bla! Good luck!
Thanks guys, Im not sure about selling the zed now, it so hard selling cars they only will offer me $8000 at a car yard, thats shit. My boss is talking to me now, slowly but he'll get there. Cheers every one.
