Long sorry...
DH is in sales and was headhunted by his current employer: he was well respected in his industry (which is quite small) and had a long and solid track record in sales and management. He's a good bloke, loyal to his employers and hardworking.
For a few months he was in a 'floating' role while they found a permanent role for him. This post duly materialised just before Xmas and he officially took over the role on the 1st Feb.
He had his appraisal on Thurs and was torn to shreds by his manager and senior manager, leaving him shocked and angry to say the least. He was asked to explain his every movement, i.e. sales calls, and daily activities and was told it 'wasn't good enough' and wasn't given an opportunity to defend himself. His 'defence' when he was allowed to talk was ignored.
He reckons they just don't want him there: although the annual budgets supported his role, he thinks the managers just don't want another team member in their territory.
Thing is, any other time he'd just get his head down and look for new job, but next week we're exchanging on a house sale because we were moving to be nearer my son's secondary school (which is fee-paying [because he's got a learning disability, before you flame me]) and I've resigned from my job to start new job down there.
What, oh legal-eagle type MNetters, would you do??!!
