'D'h just quit £100k job no discussion!

[Lochnessgiraffe]

Wtf. I know that he hates it but he's got nothing to go to.
We stupidly have no savings as we've just moved house.
I'm sure he'll find something but he just announced it over coffee. Arghh!

I remember that one!

< goes off to AS >

Ooh - but why start a 2nd identical thread?

He will have been "offered the opportunity" to resign before he was sacked....

Oops OP

Usually I agree but since OPS DH earns so well and they have taken on a bigger house....

My husband quit v Well paid his job 2 weeks ago, he was in it 6 months he hated it it

He had been interviewing but had nothing offered

He is starting his new job at the end of August

Life is too short to stay somewhere you hate

Sounds like he failed probation tbh, given the six month timescale. He's probably feeling humiliated and is trying to save face. I'd cut him some slack on that basis.

I would never quit with no job to go to. We are all different though. Extended probation doesn’t mean the sack, and he could have looked for jobs while on it. It meant trying harder is all

It means they are unsure about you.

not a great start. Not a great start at all.

he jumped ship before he was pushed

Annoying when they don’t talk to you first but you seem aware that he was unhappy so he wouldn’t have thought about it when he hit that straw that broke the camel’s back. Sounds like he snapped.

Honestly, it’s his life - I wouldn’t be upset if my other half did the same. He was unhappy. He put his mental health first. He’ll find something new. Just need to support him now.

Also, I don’t think automatically he failed his probation. I’ve just started a new job and as far as I am concerned, they are on probation too. They have six months to convince me that I want to invest more of my precious time, energy and sanity into them and if I don’t believe that by the end of the six months, I’ll be handing my notice in too. It goes both ways.

They have extended his probation.

Essentially saying “we have been unimpressed with you this far so we are extending your probation to see if you can change our minds”

I know you think you’ve rumbled the OP @Happyandyouknowit82 but do you routinely AS the writers of threads? Your twenty-something slightly jubilant-sounding posts going on and on at them about what you’ve found are a bit strange.

Op has several threads running about the same subject.

I’m aware of the background. But I was enquiring as to why one poster felt compelled to post about it over and over. And over.

Maybe his only other alternative would have been much more final and drastic? People can't always articulate their mental health.

I only read the beginning and end of this thread, but so what if the OP has several threads running? Also, there is no law to say you have to include every detail about everything in every thread. This is not a court of law fgs - "Anything you do not include may be held against you..." Give the woman a break. Why be ASing her anyway?

What's all this shit bout AS anyways? There's nothing wrong with having many threads on the same topic and each thread may not have all the details because if that we're the case we'd be sat here reading novels and no one likes reading long posts therefore poster usually leave out unnecessary info for the reason I've just mentioned.

If she came on here and said "my disabled DH quit his 100K job without consulting me"; how would this information have affected this post?? Should she have mentioned his age and zodiac sign as well?

Some of you think you're smart but you're really not!
