How to negotiate with an ex employer

[Day]

most people hate their jorbs anyways

Most people are clearly retarded then. Next time Ratatapa heard about a woman going back to her abusive boyfriend he can take pride in knowing that's him.

How did he know you were laid off? Simple. He called your boss and made it happen.

You must work as a prostitute tester then or a wine taster...or something similar.

Unless your job has you coming home with bruises, then no, this is the dumbest analogy ever.

He must be talking bout an old thread of mine.

Just find it interesting how people need to dig old thread just to get 2minutes of attention (even tho i am kind of like that hehe)

[Ratatapa]

Well we went to eat.

He basicaly(sp) apologized for the drama near the end of my job (i got a complaint which was a complete lie by the customer and when my ex boss found it was a lie, he went on a rampage against that customer)
He would give me 2$ more per hour and 1-1.5 more each year
And since we used a ticket system he saw that that the new one is much slower then i was (got like 20 more tickets in 3 weeks)

So guess i got most of my points won.

Got till friday to think about it

Outside of retarded customers (this is everywhere, replace customers with people since you will always work with retards in some capacity) was the job itself terribad? If no then just ask yourself if you want to keep doing it and go from there.

I've seen some of your other posts, so I'm fairly certain you're also from Montreal (or at least somewhere in Quebec).

If you've got a tech background and don't mind dealing with mind numbing bullshit, apply at one of Bell or Telus' call centers. I think Bell, those they hire in Montreal at least, are like 17$ starting wage. Telus is in the 20-24$ starting range. Either for cell phone shit or basic internet crap. If you're looking for a career, they are not the best place, but they both need bilingual (tho mostly french, I'd say), and they hire quiet often. IBM in Montreal also has similar postings fairly often. Or if you're just using the money to get you through school or some shit, hit up the Craiglist technical sections, there is always low paying BS jobs non stop, just be VERY careful if you decide to accept one.

If you're looking for a real job (i.e: not front line shit that's always dealing with customers), then I got nothing for you lol.

Well the stupid customer i<m fine with it, that is not the problem, because i'm aware this is everywhere.. Problem is there was 1 place where I was treated like shit, but literally like shit. Was going there at 8 AM for job and had to restart the servers during diner time due to some maintenance, which the General Manager accepted, but the sales diretor keep whining that he didn't wanted us to reboot the servers because he couldn't go on the internet while then. And that i was a piece of shit for removing his fun and blah blah'. Each time i went to that place, People were looking at me like i was a monster (not joking) and keep seeing Oh shit if you are here that means that we won't get our internet during dinner etc. Real snobs tbh (those are small example)

But when my boss got the false complaint and went emo. He saw that they were shit, promised me I won't get to deal with those guys again exempt for emergency. The other Tech will take care of them, which is fine with me, because the 5 others are much more human.

anyway

All you ever need to know about salary negotiation.

You're way underselling yourself at 1-4 extra, this dude is practically begging for you to come back. But you already screwed it up more or less, read that and know for the future.
