I am feeling really ungrateful, and, I don't know how to get over it.
My Dh is in an very unstable job. Periodically they will do a layoff, mess around with staffing, give them a paycut, or something else stressful. He has been looking for a new job for sometime, and, we thought he had one nailed.
He had 2 interviews and did a job shaddow. Yesterday they called him in to say: We like you so much, but you are our second choice. We are going to be adding a job in the fall, and that job is yours to turn down. We will be in touch.
Okay, he was taken aback, because he felt like he should have maybe just gotten a letter....it was awkard sitting across from the VP. Who knows if there is another job. You know? They said in the interveiw they were "thinking" of adding a 12-8 shift - which would not be possible for us since I often times work till 7 or 8 and our daycare closes at 6 pm.
The place is very good to work at, apparently, there are NEVER any openings, there are only 75 employees, and, this was only due to a retirement.
So, I of course am feeling really ungrateful, and have been told as much by my family. None of them do belive there really is a second job. But I should be happy he even got an interview. Right. Just getting that interview doesn't matter much unless there is a job at the end of it, which there isn't.
He has been in this limbo for a long time now, not wanting to apply for a lower paying or worse job because he still has his, and, dosen't want to go to a diffrent shift. It is a very small community so there are very few options, and most pay worse. There is talk his plant will close in September, we will see, would not doubt it. But he doesn't want to go to something worse. He still works a second job as a short order cook so he has something if he is laid off. Which, could happen any day the way things have been.
Anyway - I don't know how to stop feeling so ungrateful. You know?
Sorry ,just needed to vent.
