I've wondered about that myself. I wanted to stay, I liked it there. But it's like many relationships in life, if both parties don't want it, it won't pan out.

Edit: I also had to take time off for studies and I suspect they really wanted all-hands-on-deck.

If a person is fired from a company, and that person doesn't really know why, it is not a plaudit for that company or the managers involved.

In their defence, they were new to having to manage people they didn't already know -- which is probably why they went back to hiring people they already knew.

A tribunal would find out soon enough. Ker-ching!

Darcy also goes to school although: "By day I attend the University of Western Australia"

They had about half as many people when I worked there and it was fairly full-on.
