Regular visitors to my blog know that my hubby's current job is not exactly what he was told when he interviewed for the position. He is doing the work he was hired to do, but was told he would also be the department manager ... that has not happened yet. Many times he has tried to discuss this issue with the owners only to be blown off or told they will sit down on such and such day and discuss it. The discussion has never happened.
Today he has been told again that he, both the owners, and the office manager will be sitting down together this Friday to discuss things. Hubby feels that he is not going to be made department manager because it involves a bit of computer work and he is not good with the computer (he is a skilled laborer and very good at what he does - using a computer is not something his hands-on job entails). He indicated to them that he is willing to learn if someone will take the time to show him (never was it mentioned at any time during the interview process that using the computer would be a requirement of the dept. manager position). My feeling, and hubby's too, is that it is the office manager who is holding him back. She is not an owner, but the owners take her opinions as if she were their boss. (Very odd situation.) She is not a nice or pleasant person (I've had the misfortune of dealing with her once on the telephone - hubby has mentioned her poor attitude a few times).
Hubby has gone back and forth with whether or not he truly wants to be department manager. He has said sometimes it's hard enough just being an employee as one owner wants things done one way, the other owner wants things done a different way, and the office manager wants things done yet another way. From what he's told me, it's a chaotic situation to say the least.
We want God's will and we want this resolved once and for all ... is he going to be the department manager or not? If yes, then they need to do it already. If no, that's fine and life will go on. Either way, hubby wants and deserves to have a final answer to relieve the stress of the situation. They have dragged this out entirely too long.
Prayers for hubby would be appreciated ... prayers for favor on him and prayers for him to finally get a straight and final answer. |
