In summary, the conversation is about a person who has been offered two job opportunities - one involving design of electrical control panels and the other as a Systems Engineer for air traffic control systems. They are seeking advice on which job would be better and another person suggests considering factors such as pay, room for advancement, and personal interests. The original person then reveals they have chosen the first job, but the conversation ends with them being fired for standing up to bullying at their previous job.

Hi,

I've been offered a job that involves the design of electrical control panels. I can get involved with the wiring, installation, design, and software right up to the project management. However I've also bee offered a job as a Systems Engineer for air traffic control systems - I don't know which one would be better for me... What do you advise...?

It's difficult to give an answer without a lot more information. What are the respective pays, room for advancement, 'comfort' of each job, etc. I myself find the first one more interesting but I can't suggest it to you since I have no information about you.

er... i got sacked / fired today. I stood up to the bullying i was subject to - and this proved to be unacceptable. No employment rights until one year in the job so they will just pick some nodding yes man.
