Fireman jobs going in Limerick man. Be an adventure. In the club house with the lads waiting for a call. Fuck office life thatâs what kills a manâs spirit.

Have you thought of doing a bit of volunteering work? Plenty of opportunities out there to travel and do something that gives meaning and will be fulfilling for you. See if you can get a career break, take some time out to do some voluntary work, lots of options and you may find your true calling.
Also time to ditch the girlfriend. She sounds like sheâs just a FB, donât let yourself drift into a situation in a few years time where youâre just two people with the same surname that share a bed.
You never know whatâs around the corner; I was all set to take a career break and head off to teach English when I was 33. I had secured a well paid job, bought my first home and was thinking âis this it?â A week after I paid the deposit to the agency I was to go with, I met my wife. Thatâs when everything began to go right. Whatâs meant for you wonât pass you byâŚ

Serious competition for those spots, and youâd want to be in the shape of your life right now.

Thatâs an utterly pathetic post.
Iâd love to give you a good kick up in the hole.

Stop yapping and stop counting your colleagues sick days. Do some voluntary work in the evenings until you reach the point where you see that youâre in a privileged and fortunate position, one which you did fuck all to earn.
When you stop feeling sorry for yourself youâll have a completely different outlook, and your colleagues will probably have a different outlook on you.
And congratulate the woman who got promoted ahead of you. Look her in the eye and mean it.

Ace the aptitude test and your golden.
Leave. Getting promoted there wonât make you happy either remove yourself from the situation.
Iâd love to leave but Iâve just started building a house so screwed. For that other clown who reckons Iâm in a privileged position, thatâd easy to say and I know people are in a worse position than me but I can only live my own life not other peopleâs.
Are you in Amazon or Dell?
If you had you answer why were you asking?

Be yourself palâŚeveryone else is taken. âŚ
Four options come to mind, pal.

Commence a focused search for external roles. Use your contacts to see if there are openings elsewhere. See if you find and speak to a useful recruiter (this may prove difficult). Get your CV in good shape. Get applying for roles.
-
Set aside your current frustration and make a renewed effort to get promoted. Meet or exceed targets and approach the person on the management team you despise the least to put forward your case. List your achievements and tell them why youâre deserving of promotion without being a dick about it. Say you enjoy working there but are eager to take the next step forward in your career and so on. Try get them onside.

If 2. fails then see if you can anything else out of them to help with 1. For example, if the cunts wonât promote you, then see if theyâll pay for a degree/diploma/other qualification that would be useful, add to your earning potential and make you more attractive to hire.

US multinationals see ambition as a weakness. Cease any visible signs immediately and down tools. Arrive between 5 and 10 minutes late every morning and leave on time. Avoid all eye contact on your way out and make yourself as unapproachable as possible while there. Promotion may not materialise but job satisfaction will grow immeasurably.
