So it's officially a month into my new job...

I have to say, sometimes life can surprise you, I never expected things to go down so smoothly especially after getting fired from my previous one.

My manager is just an amazing super friendly guy, great colleagues with positive attitudes, positive work environment, better benefits, the list goes on...

Honestly I would say the biggest con is I now work 45hrs/week instead of 35, which might be a dealbreaker for some but I also work in the cloud industry which is honestly miles ahead than the UAT testing crap I used to do, plus the company pays for your certifications after you pass, so it's a small price to pay imo.

If any of you are struggling with a shitty job/work environment don't give up, out of all the places I worked at I never felt appreciated until I came here, keep on grinding.

    Are they hiring? :)

    42.5 Hours per week are normal here, so where can I sign up?

    45 hours does sound like a lot, but maybe I'm just too German for that

    Honey moon effect or real great company to work at? Time will tell

    45 hours is a bit vague.

    Pure work hours or work hours including break time?

    @IntrusionCM including 1 hr break yes :)

    Okayish. Same here, but as management / administration involves overtime, I made an gentleman agreement to work a bit less when bigger stuff is planned (e.g. weekend work for maintenance).

    I'm not a huge fan of pedantic work hours 😆

    @black-kite I like that approach.

    @thirdworld happy for you! Your last job treated you like shit. The rant where they had a guard follow you around like a fucking criminal was classic. Assholes probably thought you were going to bomb that place. This new place sounds so much better
