Quiting my job at Precision Media
June 27, 2009 at 1:43 am, ScorpionoPrecision Media: The leader for youth marketing in Romania – advertising/publishing related.
My position: Obviously online project coordinator.
This was my first experience with real chair and laptop office, inside a building full of people doing something so they make some money for the company, and it was a pleasant one.
What have I learned:
- How to approach a client
- How to negotiate a contract (accumulated quite a lot of experience here)
- How to create a proper brief plan strategy for almost anything.
- How to communicate better at a business level. (I’m too social for normal level)
- How to know when it’s the right time to quit.
Note*: Again, I’m talking strictly about real life business, online differs a bit.
What have I liked:
- The office workspace
- Every single (almost) people that worked there.
- The fact that my boss wasn’t romanian, was a + for me. (I am romanian)
- The garden upfront
- The jokes with Ramona, the HR Specialist
What have I disliked:
- The brutal disorganization of departments
- The fact that you are working part-time, and departments have no idea that when they ask for something, each and every other department requested 2-3 things for you. You start to look a bit irresponsable, and it’s the last thing I wanted.
- Fake appreciations just so you continue your needed work for not such a motivating salary.
- Working from home gets everyone paranoid that you’re doing nothing, just being lazy, and they have the right to call you at 9 AM, and 9 PM and demand things.
I quited- I don’t want to be considered irresponsable since the volume of work was more of a full time job in my eyes and I simply couldn’t stand working 2h more a day for the same motivation. There was no other solution as I couldn’t take it full-time, nor do I think the salary would have been any good.
I have decided to move forward with my web projects (currently making me 2x the salary) and BuySellAds.com, Todd is a great guy to work with and I have great plans with him as I want to be part of a business, not a flat number in a business.
I honestly wish everyone all the best, you guys rock!
