Would you "do" anyhting?
My situation is slightly unusual in that I took early retirement and then a big step back to do some part time work, losely related to my old job. I was previously going a job very similar to my new boss' although for a different, much bigger organisation, and therefore better paid/more senior.
I've enjoyed it and felt boss and I got on quite well. I was initially worried she might feel threatened by my experience, and went out of my way not to "show" my knowledge, to stick to my lane iyswim, but actually she has approached me to "pick my brains" several times. Which is fine.
All my feedback has been good and I passed my probation.
I was recently asked to take on an extra piece of work, doing additional hours against a tight timescale. I was asked because the two people who would usually do it were unable to find the time. They were desperate, and although I didn't especially wan the extra work, I took it on to help out, and completed it in a tight timescale around by other commitments, including working until 10pm one evening. Which is OK, I was paid for the time etc, but that's the kind of adjustment I had to make to be able to take it on. It was something I have some knowledge of from my previous role, but that I had never done myself before.
Anyway, the people I was working "for" on that piece of work gave very strong feedback and were very grateful to have someone step up and get it done within the statutory deadline.
Then my boss saw the report I wrote and felt some of the punctuation wrong. I don't claim to be any expert, she's probably right, but also three other intelligent people had read it without finding fault, and I do think some of her errors were simply preference, and could be considered correct either way. She has included a comment on the failings in her remarks on my final probation report.
My main complaint though is that I took this work on as a favour, when they were at risk of not meeting statutory deadlines, it was outside my experience, which they knew, and it doesn't form part of the role the probation report relates to, so shouldn't be mentioned there at all.
However, I passed the probation. It's highly.unlikely anyone will ever see the report and she retires at the end of next month anyway. If i make a fuss, more people, including possibly my new boss will know about it all.
Part of me wants to make this point, but I know its probably best not to. I wouldn't if I had any career aspirations, but currently I'll work there until I stop enjoying it and them I'll leave. This has pissed me off much more than a little PT retirement job should!
