Asking for a transfer...

[ono]

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!

In that case go for the marriage excuse. The ultimate mindfuck.

Okay, so two months have passed, I'm still miserable and pissed off with how shit the job is. Targets are ridiculous, the person I'm replacing still hasn't left, and I've just spent two days with the Norovirus pondering how much better off I would be if I was on the toilet somewhere else.

Still not really doing my full job, still want to ask for a transfer, and depressed about the whole thing. The person I'm replacing recently survived her disciplinary hearing and is likely to be there for a few more months, so I think I can press my case now while the iron is hot.

Asked for a transfer today...my manager admitted that the situation sucked and that they shouldn't have recruited me with everything up in the air about the person currently doing my job.

Meeting with regional manager on Wednesday to try and convince me to stay, but hopefully should be getting back somewhere things aren't so shit fairly soon. Went in on a day off today to have the discussion, and also giving up some time on Wednesday from my lieu day, but if it works out then it'll be well worth it.

Good luck. Sounds like they want to keep you happy, so that is a good sign.

Good luck, what took you so long ?

I'm a wuss.

De-nied! Ah well, this fella travelled half way across the country to tell me that we're too under staffed to accommodate a transfer at the moment. They're recruiting someone else in next week, and if the staff has increased in two months, then the request will be approved.

On the other hand....two more months of relative misery coming up.
