It just means that there is something out there which is the right job for all of you and this role just wasn't it.  I'm a great believer in things happening the way they are meant to be, that there is a reason around the cornor<br />Take care, enjoy your extra time together with the girls <br />i didn't see this post til just now]]>

Anyways, what I was trying to say before OHbaby! rudely interrupted me was that it sounds like Nat's employers are really impressed with him, otherwise they wouldn't be investing so much time and effort into finding him a new more sutable job. And I get the feeling that Nat's been awful stressed lately, so this could work out to be a blessing if it means he can find something more suited to him, and that allows him a wee bit more time with the girls.]]>

I thought I was going mad! um ... mad-er <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0"> )<br /><br />I'm really glad that chovy's work have handled things well for you both, though I imagine it's really disappointing.  The only thing I would say is - chovy, stay positive that there is something much better for you out there, which is not going to be so demanding, because it will be what you do.  It will have the benefit of allowing you more time with T and the girls, and it will be better quality time because you will not be so stretched/stressed/pressured/tired.<br /><br />All the very best with the job hunt - I hope it all works out really well!!]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=2583">busymum</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 10063<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 22 August 2007 at 1:22pm<br /><br />Hi guys, thanks for thinking of us. The meeting was at 10am and sadly, it was the news we were dreading. But.... they've been really nice about it all. And then we went out for morning tea (and debriefing) together so he could collect his thoughts before getting back to work. Here's the gist:<br /><br />DH has been working there for 3 months on probation (due to expire on 14 Sept). His job is "Conference and Publications Assistant" but it is actually a high-admin job and DH is qualified in the area of graphic design. Also they are a very busy, small business and were wanting someone with a couple of years' experience. (DH is not long out of UCOL/polytech). So the job doesn't exactly fit him and that has become clear in the last 6 weeks or so.<br /><br />So the first thing they did was to push him to see what he was capable of. And they say he did really well and they are impressed with his good attitude through that process. Then they (the bosses) had lengthy discussions about whether they could utilise his design/creative skills by giving him a different role in the company. Unfortunately they are too small to be able to offer that at the moment. There wouldn't be enough work to create a position.<br /><br />So what they have decided to do is to extend his working days to the end of September, send him to a careers counsellor (if he agrees, but he will) and use that as a springboard to find him another job, elsewhere. They said he is welcome to see the careers counsellor (it sounds like they will get in touch with a couple of good report and let him choose) in work time, and same for job interviews.<br /><br />If they find a replacement in time, they would be keen for him to be part of that person's integration into the company, but if he finds a job before then he's free to go. And if he finds a job before the end of September they are happy for him to take that position up on an asap basis, as a lot of places ask for these days. They also said they want to help him get a job by giving good references etc, they really like him but they would like to see him in a creative job instead of administrative. The CEO said she would be amazed if he hadn't got a job by the end of September.<br /><br /><br />So all in all, I think it was a pretty positive meeting. DH's boss encouraged him to think of this job as a stepping stone, not as a failure. It's fair to say that DH is disappointed and he's really going to miss the people there too, but I think if they had offered to give him the full contract (until mid-winter 2008), he would have felt a bit trapped.<br /><br />So, a new season for us (freaky but exciting!) and <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley20.gif" border="0"> to his bosses!]]>
