Need some good thoughts!

[pnance]

I interviewed for a different position within the company I now work for last week, so I really need some good wishes. Long story short I started my current job about 7 months ago. When I interviewed it sounded great and I left a good job I'd had for about 8 years. Turns out this one is a nightmare, not the work but the manager. In less than 4 months she's lost 3 people and there are only 5 total to begin with, 6 counting her. I won't go into details (way to long a story) but suffice it to say I am seriously going to lose it soon if I don't get out so some good wishes would be welcome.

Lots of prayers and good wishes coming your way! Good luck, keep us posted!

[davidpizzica]

Here are a lot of good thoughts and wishes coming your way from Pittsburgh!

[Jadapit]

I'm sending lots of good thoughts your way!

[lizbud]

Good vibes & paryers too for you to be free of that manager.My sister
once told me (half jokingly) to never pray for patience as you never know
when God might send your way to test you.LOL But in this case I would
try it anyway. :)

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Good luck!! I hope you get it!

[Edwina's Secretary]

Sending you positive thoughts.....did you send a thank you email to the manager who interviewed you saying why you would be the best person for the job? (I was told this week by my sister I am not suppose to give advice...just can't help it! :rolleyes: )

Best of wishes....

[Soapets]

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, and hope that everything goes well for you...........

[Dorothy39]

I am rooting for you pnance!!!! All the way from Michigan!!!
I sincerely hope and pray that you get that *NEW* position!!!!

Hang in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Tricia, lots of good wishes coming from me too. It is miserable to work with people you don't like or respect.

[slick]

So sorry Tricia but I'm just seeing this now. All the best and think positive, kid. You WILL get this job. You ARE the best candidate for this position. They would be fools not to hire you. Good luck and please let us know how it turns out. Will you ever have to see/communicate with your old boss in this new position?

[pnance]

Thanks everyone for all the good wishes they're definately working!
.....I received a phone call from the Director today. She said everyone liked me and I'm the front runner, they just have a few structuring things to get in place (been really crazy there this week)and the lead for the project is on vacation so they can't make me a formal offer yet. She said hopefully Monday or Tuesday next week if things go well. I'm trying not to totally get my hopes up...until I actually have that offer in hand anything could go wrong. I keep joking before this is over your going to find me rocking in a corner under the desk pulling my hair out,since I've been so stressed out this week waiting for the phone to ring and dodging my current manager.... :eek:

Sara, hey ignore your sister, I usually do...I noticed my sister and I started to get along much better after I did.... ;) In answer no I didn't, I didn't think it was appropriate since it's internal, maybe I'm wrong here?

Slick, it's doubtful, thankfully. Part of the requirement before they'll setup an interview is I have to tell my current manager.....that went well (not!) and has been a nightmare since so I don't think working with her would work. You'd think she'd be thrilled just to get rid of me, but I'm guessing she'll have to do some explaining if she loses a 4th person in about 4 months.


Thanks again everyone!!

[RICHARD]

Hang in.

Don't worry about things and they work out.

You did your best and it's up to fate

Good luck

A quick email "thanks" is always good.....makes you stand out from the competition...

Which I am sure you already did!

[pnance]

I got it!!! I just got a phone call from HR offereing me the position!!

[shais_mom]

awesome!

[RICHARD]

I got it!!! I just got a phone call from HR offereing me the position!!


See, what did we tell you? ;)

[Logan]

Congratulations!!!!! :)

[Karen]

Yay! Congratulations!

[gini]

Aw, Tricia.........a huge CONGRATULATIONS!

[lizbud]

That's great. :D I can hear your big sigh from here.Whew :)

[pnance]

Thanks everyone!! I am so excited!! :D :D It was a major relief to get that phone call. I then received a call from the director and they want me for training next week 2 days and a meeting tomorrow (all the big wigs are in town). I told my current manager this afternoon and she didn't take it well to put it mildly. I'm guessing she'll make the next few weeks as difficult as possible but at least there's an end. Not sure on my exact start date yet beyond the 2 training days. It's now between my manager and the director of the other department to work it out and let me know. I'm hoping sooner than later but I'm guessing it will be at least 3 weeks before she'll agree to let me change. Thanks again!!!

[Edwina's Secretary]

Congratulations!

[gini]

Here's hoping that they have a desparate need for you IMMEDIATELY in the new department.

Never burn bridges - never look back :D :D

[RICHARD]

Thanks everyone!! I am so excited!!

Well, since we helped you out how's about a cartwheel, or something? :eek:

[pnance]

Well, since we helped you out how's about a cartwheel, or something? :eek:

A cartwheel would definately be entertainment for everyone else......considering I have absolutely no coordination it could also be dangerous ;)

[gini]

What a guy - only Richard would ask you to do a cartwheel!! :D :D

Come on over to Thursdays and we will celebrate your new, well deserved job.
