minus-squareGibsonhasafluffybuttlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·6 hours agoSo here’s the gossip. One of the remaining 3 (of which i am one) account managers resigned. So his clients get divided up between me and the other one. Yay.
minus-squareGibsonhasafluffybuttlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·6 hours agoNope. Not with my probation 10 days away.
minus-squareDuenanlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 hours agoSo what happens after your probation ends in 10 days? What options do you have at that point?
minus-squareGibsonhasafluffybuttlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·5 hours agoI have a better position to negotiate as they can’t just fire me on the spot. And now that I’m one of only 2 account managers it strengthens my bargaining position. This team should have 4 people. Not 2.
minus-squareDuenanlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·4 hours agoAh ok. Will you stay or look for another place? Seems like the place is being gutted at the moment.
minus-squareGibsonhasafluffybuttlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·4 hours agoI need to stay long enough to move house. It’s near impossible to be approved for a rental whilst on probation.
minus-squareSpinMeAroundlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·6 hours agoPlease tell me they are at least openly looking for another?! You’re already stretched so thin!
minus-squareGibsonhasafluffybuttlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 hours agoWho knows. I only found out because my co worker told me. Nothing from management about it.
minus-squareSpinMeAroundlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-25 hours agoOf course not! Just keep breathing, probation is nearly up! I found emails from a director here to customers advising that someone had left the business 2 hours before it was announced to staff.
minus-squareGibsonhasafluffybuttlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·5 hours agoThis happened in December and they haven’t said anything to us. Which is pretty bad…
