Last week we were in Maui, returning to work on Monday. A couple of hours after arriving at work I get a phone call from my manager (Louis the terrible) with whom I don't have a very good respect for. He's a mumbled, ever so meek, and not a shred of inter personal skills... So what he softly utters is that he heard of a job opportunity that might allow me to pick up some hours, although he didn't have any info about the job being mentioned. The HR person Debbie I was to contact was someone that I knew from decades of working in Cerritos.
I than send an email to Debbie expressing "some" interest in the job if I didn't lose pay.. Because at this point I though I had a yes or no option.. She phoned me back and said she would find out about the position as the person doing the job now, was moving to Ohio etc.. The next morning I open an email from Debbie that explain while nothing is final, I am the only one being offered the job BECAUSE my job is being "displaced" as of Friday... UH! WHAT THE HECK are you talking about is what I'm thinking, how come my manager the day before didn't tel, me this???????? I'm in shock at what I'm reading.... The only option is to take the job or quit! My hours were cut back from 6.5-7 to 4 about a month ago by the same individual.
The new job being offered is a detailed and fresh amount of NEW to instill ones curiosity for sure. But nonetheless, the way it has been handled is not professional, courteous, or following protocol for being as they put it displaced which is another way to be "eliminated outright"
So while it only doubles the miles in my commute, the direction it heads in the morning is one of nasty roads for traffic if or when you are on them. So the start time of 6am will have me on the road early until I find the appropriate safe time to arrive ahead of the start time.. Now I am NOT much of a early morning person beyond throwing on walking clothes and a hat at 6am but not for being dressed professionally and commuting to arrive at 5:40am.. That has me most nervous not so much the job (will wait till I have a reason on that note)
So pray that I manage to learn to like being a morning person till at least the 11:15 hour when I'm off the clock..
