What would you do??? Here's the situation,,,2 years ago I left my job of almost 4 years to move here to Cold Lake because I thought i could go farther with what I wanted to do. Even my boss who met with me before I started promised me all sorts of good things if I came and worked for him. So the story goes,,,,I've worked for him almost 2 full years(one month shy) and just got home yesterday from 4 weeks of tech training for my apprenticeship at NAIT in Edm.,,,which they have been hounding me to go since I started. Turns out they hired anohter guy while I was gone from our competition's shop and my manager(the boss's son-n-law) tells me he will be doing to do the painting and i would have to move to the other side of the shop doing other stuff. I left my old job cause I'm not into doing the "other stuff", I am trying to become a certified refinisher, which after I go back to NAIT in May, I will be. Now they are making wait til Monday for when the main boss will be in and talk it over with him. I have a feeling I will be loading up my toolbox and never returning if I don't get what I ask for. Any advice out there?? Sorry for the lenght and whatnot, but man I need to vent

Move on. Their loss. If he knew what you expected he won't be suprised.

 

Hold onto you hope. Move only when it's in your favour. I know it still sucks man. Hey Tony if I had the cash and shop you could come and be the Man! But I don't. Hold out and get your ticket, then move...

 

Yeah, I'm not sure what I am going to do yet. I did go to the shop and loaded all my stuff I had stored there. All that is left is my toolbox. If it comes down to what I think it will, I don't want to be there for 2 hours running around and gathering my belongings. The only problem is that there is only 2 other bodyshops in town, and I will not work for either of them. Thanks for the offer Steve, if it were so, I'd be there!

 

Move to Edmonton, if al else fails there are lots of shops here. Also there is more room for advancement in a bigger city.

can i live with you,,,there would be some extra benefits [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

 

Just wait until the man that really matters has a chance to look u in the eye and say it the way it really is...

One of two things has happened:

The son-in-law has gotten very comfortable in his position in the family and the business and is starting to throw his weight around, to suit himself obviously, in this kind of situation I wouldn't put it past his wife excerting pressure on "good'ol dad" to make it better for her husband...and round an' round it goes...

...OR....

The boss has he son-in-law do his dirty work for him....I think it is highly unusual for this kind of thing to happen when the boss is gone, so it's fishy...I can smell it from here an' it ain't pretty. Sorry man!

 

^^^^It really is a weird situation, the guy who own's the shop I work at also own's the one in a neighboring town approx. 45km away. He also lives there, so he is at our shop hardly once a week, his son-in-law and another guy manage it. So when i got there yesterday afternoon of course (we'll call him Joe) wasn't there, so the in-law was the one who gave me the news. I think come Monday morning, I am gonna call work and tell them to call me when "Joe" gets there. That'll show them I mean business [img]graemlins/gunsarecool.gif[/img]
