Ray... I hope you will be installing some "Back Doors" to the speed cameras before you go. A nice self destruct on april fools day would be good.

If you expect to be welcomed back into society at the very least we expect details on their weak points!

Secret 'bug', erm 'feature' so that the cameras only catch people driving in excess of 300 mph

Ray_li,

Why do you feel guilty? Seriously, don't worry about it. You do a job and they pay you for it - you don't owe them anything and they don't owe you anything as you have both fulfilled your sides of the bargain.

Put it this way - how guilty do you think they'd feel if they hit trouble (a speed camera company in trouble - what a lovely thought ) and had to make you redundant?

Good luck mate,

tiggers

Well. I handed in my resignation letter today but my manager didnt say much to me. hejust looked at me. i told him to say something or punch me in the face. at least it would make me feel better.

the reason I feel sh1tty is that this is my first real design/engineer job since i finished uni. that they gave me a very good opportunity. I was there for just over 5 months and im off now.
Well they did only pay me 15k and change my job role after 2 months to work on a PC next to a 120db machine and welder. To top it all of it was in a factory that was always below 16 degrees

Exactly!!! You don't owe them anything! Typical manager's reaction btw - when I managed a department of IT guys I always tried to be as helpful as possible even if they were leaving as you just never know what the future holds!!

possible breach of health and safety regulations - what hearing protection did they give you?

i understand that your hearing isn't what it used to be? you can't hear me? I SAID YOUR HEARING ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE IS IT?!

i feel a major compo claim is in order here. normally i wouldn't encourage it but in these circumstances...

Good call. Despite all the recommendations to tell them to f**k off (I wonder if the recommenders have ever done so.....? ) it's best to never burn your bridges IMHO. It's a small world, and as they say "be careful who you tread on on the way up, because you might meet them again on the way down"
