Popular Post Gump Posted January 6, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted January 6, 2022 My direct supervisor retired in December of 2021. This morning our Director asked if I would take the position if he requested approval to fill it. May take a month or so but looks like I may be getting a new office. The only downside is less time in the woods. 5 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move your office out to the woods. Declare it is part of your efforts to reduce the spread of covid by maintaining distance from the Director and people that will work for you. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am already working on a list of reasons not to be in that building any more than I have to. What sucks is my current office is located on a 100 acre property. We have ski/ hiking trails so you can get some fresh air. That office is in the city, really a big town, so pretty much stuck there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gump Posted February 15, 2022 Author Popular Post Share #8 Posted February 15, 2022 So the new position is posted to be filled. My immediate supervisor said last week that interviews would be soon. Our Director makes it sound like there is no question I have it. Everyone in that office seems to already know I will be going there. So who knows. I just did the employment application and updated my 10 year old resume. Time will tell. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just incase you didn't notice... most Hallmark Movies start out with this exact scenario. There is a possible promotion in a different city.

Popular Post Gump Posted March 23, 2022 Author Popular Post Share #18 Posted March 23, 2022 Been a few months but I accepted the promotion this afternoon. Will still spend a couple days a week in my current office and the rest in our Regional office. Fortunately I live between the two. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t break up marriages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
