I’ll try and keep this as concise as possible, don’t want to give too much away in case someone knows me. I work for the same organisation as my DSis but in different offices. I am a higher grade and am looking for promotion, she is happy at the grade she is, though has dabbled with covering other roles for holidays etc. The role of office manager has just become vacant at her office, senior management have said I am ‘expected to apply’, this doesn’t mean the job is in the bag for me but that, as someone actively looking to be promoted to this grade, I am in the running and to not apply would suggest I’m not serious. The problem is this, if I get the job she would have to move offices as I can not be in her management chain. She moved to that office 18 months ago to be closer to home and be able to take her children (8 & 11) to school, she also altered her p/t hours as she didn’t have as far to travel. I have a younger child at the same school but can’t take him or pick him up because I work too far away. The closest alternative office is a 40 minute bus ride away, she worked there before moving. I’ve known that this job would become available for a few weeks and I spoke to our Mum about it who told me that if I did apply DSis would be extremely put out and ‘it wouldn’t end well’, she is expecting to stay at that office until both kids leave primary school. I would love to be able to take my son to school, I could also do with the wage increase and I do want promotion as have tried before and failed. Am I being really selfish? Should I put my sisters life before my career? AIBU to consider applying for this job??
