Are you paid monthly or weekly at the moment mate cos I guess that may determine your actual leaving date ??

Anyways.... Congratulations !!!!
Yep, he asked what he could do to change my mind and I said I'm going and that's it! So many positives at the new place which he simply couldn't start to compete with.

I'm paid monthly so, theoretically, I'll get paid at the end of the month. But...and it's a big but, he's been messing with our wages from November to save the poor little soul some dosh over the winter. I kinda get the feeling that you could stay all month and end up getting shafted. And my wife thinks the same. So she's basically saying tell him to do one. If the new people want you like yesterday, just go, nothing to lose. I owe him nothing and my future (hopefully long term) is with BMW, so just tell him to stick it! Very often in this sort of job, you're escorted out straight away in case you steal customer records / start contaminating other employees and customers etc. But he hasn't got a clue how to work the various Ducati systems. That I can pass on very quickly. The donkeys' years worth of enthusiasm and dedication to the brand and all the knowledge I've gained over many, many years will take a little while longer........
