After pressing this issue, I now have a slot with HR next week.
Whilst this may only be a session for HR to "capture" my concerns, it will be a note to self, that 3 years on I still can't get all the information I have been asking for.

Further updates re jobs to be confirmed in due course.

Well it's a mixed bag of tricks...other secretaries telling me one thing, HR telling me something else. Apparently there is NO salary scale for secretaries, yet if that is true, how did they arrive at xx point in zz band as my starting point? I asked what the annual and mid year review process fed into if not an increment in salary eg. what is the incentive if no reward at the end of it. Response...well sure what incentive is there in any company? It's a dead end and not much incentive if you have to be Miss Perfect to gain the rewards. I just wonder why objectives are set if there is no reward once achieved.  It will be interesting to see what role they come up with for me! |

Dug out my letter of offer and it clearly states, this post commences on point xx in band zz of the current salary scales.
What do I do? Ask for clarification? This is conflicting information and contradictory in terms.

It seems the entry point I was brought in on is the top of the scale. Slap in the face for those in the company who have been here 20+ years who have been at the top of that scale for some time.

On the same topic why do individuals feel the need to "get one up" on others? I came in this morning to an email from someone at the end of an email trail yesterday, indicating that I would be moving with a certain team as "there is a desk allocated for you". I am livid. Even if this is a joke, no one bar HR or my boss should be hinting as to what my new role will be.
This person has no right to make such suggestions so I have forwarded his email to HR this morning making a complaint and asking for clarification. Even if this team have been informed I am moving with them, it is not up to team members to hint at what they might know.
So far HR have not responded. It's totally out of order so why do individuals feel the need to do this??

It seems the new HR Director doesn't know very much at all. One of her team finally confirmed after 3 years there is a salary scale and it seems I was brought in at the mid point where all of the other secretaries have remained.
Bizarre to say the least. Now asking for clarification on what it takes to move up the scale. Information not forthcoming so far.

Oh and the individual who suggested I was moving with his team, has been reprimanded. Progress?

Gee, you should tell your boss that his constant contradictory messages are confusing. If he is coming in, fine. If he says he is then doesn't, he should let you know.
May be better that he doesn't say and then if he appears, bingo. If he doesn't, no sweat.
The other thing that comes to mind is that he's acting a little out of kilter? Is he suffering from anything?

I was going to say I've had the morning from hell, but in reality I guess it's been 2 weeks to hell and back.
Remember this, stand up for what you believe in and never allow anyone to bully you. If they do, confront them so they understand what they have done.
Life is too short, don't waste time and energy on people who wouldn't waste time and energy on you.
I am going to start posting thoughts/sayings for the day so watch this space!

With briefs expected w/c 26 Sept and go live w/c 3 Oct, it seems those affected by recent events should know this week.
I asked my boss earlier if he had heard anything and he sheepishly said he was waiting on final clarification on something, then we will have a chat.
Personally speaking that does not give anyone enough time to weigh up their options. It seems this company just want employees to go along with whatever they decide.
I would welcome your comments on this and the timeframe involved.

Well I found out today I still have a job. My boss was going to talk to me tomorrow, but since he indicated he had the details, I kinda wanted to know. Basically I will be working for one of the programme managers who has just taken over one of his existing programmes. I will continue to work for my current boss until he retires which he is hoping to get clarification on tomorrow. Eventually I will be relocated back in the building I started in which was refurbished after I move out. I'm happy enough however some of the other secretaries will be shifted round due to some of their bosses taking on new roles. Not sure how well that will go down, as some have worked for the same boss for many years. Now I just have to figure out a way to whip these boys into shape. Since they already know me they should be shaking in their boots!  |

Thanks. I was concerned as to what role would they would offer me and expressed this to my boss today.
Thankfully, all seems to be ok. I'm just curious about the others.
