Guest Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 he's been offered the job (warehouse manager) but they told him at the interview he'd be doing rolling shifts of 2-10 and 6-2 (which he was doing in his previous job) with the odd shift of nights in between. Now they've offered him the job on permanent nights for 6-12 months and it could be longer than that! It's all being done via an agency so the agency woman is going back to the company to see if there is any room for negotiation with the shifts but if not, he thinks he'll turn it down. He's got the weekend to think it over. It's a big disappointment really as if they've offered him the shifts they told him he'd be on at the interview, he would have taken it. He's got an interview for something else in a cple of weeks so fingers x'd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joojoo Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 What a shame never mind it's all good experience and he must be feeling great to be offered the job so well done Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 What a shame . Congratulations to him on getting the job hough tbut how unfair that the terms aren't what he was told . Difficult decision - if it really is only for 6 months, might he consider it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 he must have made an impression. I would definitely consider it over the weekend though. My hubby works nights and although its a pain in the bum sometimes our chooks and dog have him home all day. could be good to do it in the meantime whilst looking for something else?

Guest Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 he's definitely thinking about it but it's put the seed of doubt in his mind about how honest the company actually are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 What pity about the hours. ...Glad he has been offered the position though. Wonder if it might be worth him taking the job and still looking for something else? [At least he would be at home during the day for other interviews and they say it's always easier to get a job if your already working for some reason lol ] I'm sure he'll make the right decision anyhow what ever he decides! PS love that picture of you and Maude having a little snooze...how sweet she likes to be cuddled like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hi Leann, yeah we've already had that exact same discussion (great minds think alike ) Maudie is very sweet, all my girls have their cute little foibles but I do love that she likes to snuggle with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjules Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Well done him for getting offered the job. 6 months of permanent nights sounds depressing though. What's he decided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 They've come back to say he can do the hours he wants with the "occasional" night shift. He's accepted the job provisionally, just waiting for the offer letter/contract. All being well, he starts on the 25th August. A big weight off our minds. I just hope he likes the job now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
