Old Memories

Just sent this to an Ex GF who I dumped (got bored?) a year ago - still love - but is with someone else and keeps messaging me from time to time. She doesn't seem willing to get back together though.

Editing...I am not sure I want Google bots spidering this thing.

Yep, last friday I got a letter from my employer saying that my job is now redundant because they have cancelled the expansion project I was leading therefore our meeting tomorrow could result in my dismissal.

1.- I was living abroad - he is in the UK, he wanted to hire me expand his business in a foreign country. (my home country)
2.- Being the best oppty I had - I flew over myself and started working for them (we had arranged so that he paid for relocation costs however at the very last minute he turned it into a loan, not a grant. (we settled that as a misunderstanding but left me a bitter-taste tbh).
3.- Worked for him for 6 months in the UK (the only reason those 6 months existed is because he wanted to build on his current product so that once we expand we had a stronger beginning - I was agaisnt this but he insisted that I waited for him until everything was ready according to his plans and so he just asked me to help with whatever possible in the meantime).
4.- 6 months after he said it was time for me to go to my home country so we could start the expansion project.
5.- He paid for my flight (not all luggage/other expenses)
6.- 1 month after, he has now cancelled the expansion project. I spent money on the travels, I lost my tenancy deposit, etc.

I wish he had told me that while I was still there - so I could look for biz opptys in the UK given I had already invested in a fucking flight/accomodation costs.

Also im a bit confused, isn't he legally required to fucking return me back to the country he hired me in?

He also never gave me any written contract at all. But he was indeed paying taxes and had me employed "properly" as I got payslips with my taxcode etc.

To be fair, I was working from home all the time and barely did anything in the 8 months with some spreadsheet exceptions and stupid-ass work.

In the sense of hours worked vs my payment this was more than +EV for me every month - as I sat playing worms armageddon/starcraft/ did other paid work whilst he was paying me to work from home.

So whatever, fair deal? fuck it, I dont know. I guess I had an ideal job for a while - such things can't last forever can they?

While in the UK - I did all the potential revenue numbers and research on the project. I had warned him with MATH that while it was still a profitable expansion it would take longer and a bigger investment than what he had in mind to achieve it. He said it was fine.

I think he just got scared of going ahead with it because of his local competitors taking away market in his UK brand. But I also think he sent me away and then fired me this way to make it easier/cheaper for him.


What a dick.

Life goes on I guess - time for me to move forward with my digital marketing biz/consultancy.
