Christmas is cancelled at Agency X

The following leaving message has been circulating widely within the industry in the last couple of days. For legal reasons we’ve removed the Australian agency’s name and we’re not saying what type of agency they are. For the same reason, we’ve switched off comments on this post only.

What a complete joke. As a final hurrah, just to ensure that I have absolutely ZERO good feelings left about the place where I spent two years of my life and which I once loved… THANKYOU XXXXXX for now ruining my Christmas as well as the abominable treatment I received in my leaving days. I have presents waiting to picked up in shops that I can’t pay for and celebration plans made at my home on Christmas day that I now can’t buy food for.

I also now have $120 worth of dishonour fees from various payments scheduled to come out of my account in the days after ‘pay day’. I would try and insist that XXXXXX reimburses me for those but I’ve been down that track many times with you people before and I know it’s a losing battle so I won’t even bother. Worst thing is I know I’m probably not in the worst position of all the people there. At least I don’t have a mortgage to pay (though my real estate called me this morning as my rent is now overdue), children to feed or travel plans made. WHEN will you be PAYING your staff? A date and time please. I rang XXXX on Tuesday and was told… “aaaah… maybe today, maybe tomorrow…”
