If you exclude the people in my team that haven't been here long, then I'm sure at least 4 people would leave tomorrow if they had another job 
One guy that started on Monday in the other building had to stay over an hour late on his first day. Pretty much sets the tone, really

He communicates enough to find out what I'm doing maybe once a week, that's it.

Yesterday I was turfed out of my office. By the finance director. He needs it for a meeting room. My boss has known for weeks, didnt bother telling me.
Still, only 10 weeks till I can give notice at this excuse for a school.

Bonus? Time off owed? Being forced to take holiday over Xmas that I don't want to take, plenty to do over the holiday but boss wants to 'shut the school down'. He's the IT manager but think he owns the place.
I make my own bonus by having my own company on the side

I do them cut price support on the understanding I can only really work out of hours. Works nicely, I bring in a quite tidy extra monthly wage.

Bloke has emailed me again. Saying I have lied and cheated him out of money and that the knocking noise is a major fault and I would have known about it bla bla bla.
If it was a large banging noise, surely after going for its MOT it would have been raised! Especially as they road tested the car (the garage).
Calling me a liar and saying 'SLEEP WELL@ Haha, though he has dropped the part about legal action, I wonder why....

Last line of the message I sent back was:
If you have any more problems with YOUR car, please do not contact me to discuss them.
