Default new job

Well I'm fanially out of the crash shops , I gave my boss notice friday, he didn't want me to leave on the spot, wanted 2 weeks notice, but due to the fact I was assaulted and got continual harassment about myself and my partner (low if you ask me), and my boss's response was scoop down to their level and give it back, so being untenable working conditions I was able to leave on the spot and get all my entitlements , SO NO MORE CRASH SHOPS FOR ME, now I'm doing factory LPG conversions on VE commodores for HSVi so im glad : :

good on you I say! Nobody should have put up with that sort of crap at work. Even better for you that you didn't stoop down to their level. Cretins.
