YDI for working in a coffee shop, for job hunting, for not being satisfied with your current job, for even having a job at all, for being gullible enough to fall for your ex-boss' guilt trip bullshit, and for taking your username from a Clash song.

If he was serious or a smart business man he would offer you that job to keep you on as an employee. Good help is hard to find. He is probably full of sh!t.

He's probably lying as he can't spell barrister properly......

def trying to make you feel bad

You deserve it for job hopping without even talking to your boss about a raise or your future with the company. I wouldn't have tried to keep you and give you a promotion under those circumstances either. If you're willing to leave without discussion over a few bucks, you're not a responsible or dependable enough employee to run your own branch.

YDI to hell!!! always wait for an opportunity at your current job unless your getting shit from people then switch to a new job if you can...stupid shot economy...

This is NOT a YDI. I had a friend who worked with the person who was nearly a slave driver. When she finally got the guts to quit, this boss started to promise so much more. It just goes to show that you are, and were, a good employee.

ah well at the end you still have something better then you used to have rite?

Ohhh haha that suckss:P

your old boss was just saying that to make you feel shity.
