Asking for a transfer...

[superheavyrhun]

Alright guys... this one doesn't have much pervy content in nature, so I'll try and spice it up.

I moved jobs around 6 months ago, and I'm not convinced that it's really working out too well. The stress levels have increased significantly, there is no availability for overtime which means I'm earning less in total each month.

So, how do I phrase the request to transfer back to the previous job, which was in a different department of the same company? Do I leave it for another 6 months? Do I sneak up and fondle that fit 17 year old....?

was there no probation period for the new position you moved to? you can just say you would like to go back to your old position if you still on probation.
thats how my place works anyway.

Your current job has a way better career potential? suck it up and power through!!

Strictly speaking agreeing to take the new job is a commitment of 24 months minimum. However, it just needs authorisation from my manager to get a move.

Career prospects are better, but I'm not sure this is even the career I want. Heck, I just want an easy life where I make enough to get by and have the odd beer every now and then.

say the new job is stressing you out and you don't think your marriage can take it.

they will put you back to your old job.

I think I'll go with the stress as a more believable excuse than my marriage.

[Doot]

ya but the marriage part will make them feel real bad.

[Mark TKO]

tell them its down to having less money and lay it on thick with bullshit that you are struggling to make ends meet

even if they don't move you back you might get a pay rise ?!?

I'm pretty sure his work knows superheavy is a raging queer. Everyone else does.

Just be honest with them, especially if it's a company you want to keep on with (as you obviously do).

Naah, I just let them see the odd feather, handful of wool or furball drop out of my pocket from time to time and they know I'm into animals.

Sometimes I forget that you're Welsh.

Don't talk about your marriage, or try to imply that your job is somehow affecting it. The company won't be in the slightest bit interested in your marriage, and will see you as fragile and high maintenance. They will then get frustrated because the law requires them to at least pretend to be concerned. It will all be nicey-nicey, but it will be the death knell of your career.

They would also know that I was lying if I brought my marriage into it. They all know that I am not married. I think if I tried to suggest that I would definitely be fired!
