Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

What do/would you miss about your job?

I intend to create contact with people who don't want reams of meaningless metrics/last minute rota changes/extra oxycodone oh and just my diazzies from me.

Despite everything that happened to bring me here, there are a lot of things I will miss.

Feeling free to explore a place I love to my heart's content, getting to experience unique and eye-opening events every other week, having an increased sense of independence.

It's also worth remembering that I wouldn't have made it this far if I hadn't at least been passionate about the work I did from the beginning. There were (and still are) people I worked with who I appreciated being in the company of, even if that couldn't always be the case.

The money and the laughs. I see I posted in 2017 and my list is substantially smaller now :)

I struggle to come up with anything, but here's one: I miss the opportunity to wear out clothes I otherwise wouldn't have bought and have no desire to wear now. I know it's a weak one, but that's a reflection of my strength of missing anything.

4 months after leaving, I'm missing nothing. The people I got on best with I am still in touch with and whilst the extra money was great, we are managing fine without it.

Other than the income I don’t think I will miss anything when the time comes.

Lots of people say they will miss the people and while I have worked with lots of nice people I also have worked with many who I just don’t trust or like.

I also find that when work separates me from people I got on well with it’s usually me that makes the effort to keep in touch.

AnywAy I reckon I still have three years to go at least and am moving into a new role in the next two weeks. Plans are to get my head down and enjoy that as it’s a job I can do well and enjoy and also the people are good.

26 months on and I really don't miss my job at all. I'm still in touch with the people I enjoyed working with and I'm a bit more careful with spending money, but I have a much better quality of life and am so much happier.

I don't miss anything, even the things I thought I'd miss. I particularly don't miss having to be there instead of nowhere in particular for 6 hours a day and am unwilling to commit a regular chunk of time to anything else at the moment.

I don't miss anything about my job. I thought I would but I don't. I had ideas to look for some kind of volunteering role but am still enjoying the freedom to do what I want when I want to. Like today. It's my sister's birthday and I have the freedom to take her out for a lunchtime celebration. Couldn't do that when I was teaching.
