Afternoon Crepeys, and welcome back NU. I would force Dh to do all the washing in that scenario. I have just this morning discovered 'holiday ' clothes in the bottom of the ironing basket
ah well. We got back early September.
BTM you are very energetic today, and making me feel rather like a sloth. it's really the only day in the week I sit still, and I am still sore from the Pilates on Thursday night. Also disturbingly dodgy tummy and slightly wobbly feeling in the night. Not been sick, but imminent I think.
MI love the dames on the train. No offer of a glass for yourself then?
Work was trying but not hideous. Rudy, I deal with the over entitled, disappointed, furious and nasty humans every single day. It never fails to surprise me, but I have learned to filter it out. I think training in 'dealing with difficult people' would be of benefit. There are a number of wee tricks you can employ to wrap up the interaction before it starts to upset you. Stick that in your reflective practise!! Can't believe they want three things a week. That must be quite belittling, making you admit to three things you're supposed to be able to improve. It makes my skin crawl. Too much stick , not enough carrot imho.
So to the situation I find myself in. We are in a takeover process. The org. Will soon be run by an external operator.
My team have been decimated. We have lost 6 to VR or early retirement. My job, as such will cease to exist, but will be there in a different form with a slightly more marketing bent. Of course the restructure has been organised without the slightest knowledge of what it is that we do. They of course want me to do more with a smaller team. More blind sales, cross selling and more reception duties ( fucksake)
My choices are as follows:
1-stay, accept the status quo, keep my job and sign up to the order
2- move into a newly created job with the emphasis on Customer liaison ( general dogsbody role)
3- stay with current organisation and slide sideways into some kind of equivalent job at same grade in a grey office in an industrial estate ( unknown pt hours)
4 - leave
5- take voluntary redundancy with very very small package time is up on this option
I don't want any of the above, but we can't go on without the money. No amount of thinking about this has brought me any closer to making a decision. I can't find any enthusiasm and my confidence has been eroded by stealth. Bolleaux.
