    "Ok. I'll leave"

    Pass me over? Ok. I'll leave. This is only a small piece of pettiness on my part. I have a Ohr contract working in hospitality. A full time Supervisor role came up and since I have experience in that area I thought why not??

    Interview went really well with the Assistant Manager, we had a laugh and a chit chat along with answering the same old boring questions (I added flare, dont worry).

    Soon after I had a minor illness - the kind you dont want to be around food - so took 4 days off to be clear of it. My first day back is a training day, comments are made about being short staffed, unable to fill more of the Ohr contracts and how we need some help. LUCKILY. They've filled the supervisor role and she'll be starting next week.

    It ain't me and this is the first time I'm hearing I've clearly been unsuccessful in my application. I get a half assed apology from the Manager at the end of the days sessions with a "I like to do these things in person, but you were off sick. You would have gotten the role yet the other candidate can fill the hours we need".

    They wanted me to guarantee I could work 60-70hrs a week despite this not being what the job states/entails. I told them I'd happily do 50/60 in the busy season, which I think is more than satisfactory to anyone else.

    Anyhow, I left for home and get a call for a job I had interviewed for before I went off sick. I was hedging my bets and glad I did! So I'll be off to a 3 day work week elsewhere for more money. See ya later! Oh and good luck filling that extra Ohr role with no job security....

    Personally I think they thought they'd got lucky finding someone for the Supervisor role (they were struggling for months) and presumed I'd stay on the very needed lower role. Now they are down 3 needed members instead of just 2.

    Thelgow 21 hr. ago Yeah grimey play. I remember applying for a full time, from part time. A few others did. I asked the manager on his way out first if he selected. "No, I havent made up my mind. Im about to go on vacation and I'll mull it over and let you know when I get back." ok, no prob. He walks out the door.

    tandyman8360 - 19 hr. ago In my last job, things soured with my manager and I had an opportunity to work in another department with two retirements. Both of the retirees wanted me for it. HR blocked my application and my current manager suggested I "shadow" them for free extra work.

    In a few weeks, an outside job came through and I left instead. Big pay increase and a short commute. Old job took 6 months to replace me and now they're doing layoffs.

    Low_Nefariousness765 19 hr. ago I'd been in a Role with a company for nearly 10yrs and time for advancement had finally come as my boss was moving on. I interviewed and had the GM say he thought I was joking.

    2 weeks later, I had some prebooked vacation days, so the day before I left on my approved two week holiday, I gave my two week notice and went to work for a competitor in a role created specifically for me based on them knowing my work already. Be thankful you got out when you did.
