Here's my whine: Warner wouldn't come home from his friend's house last night so now he's living with MY MOTHER. Just having my mom in my life (even though we are using my brother as a go-between) fills me with panic, fear, anger, etc. Basically all of the things I felt when I was living with her. I'm freaking out. My poor therapist is going to have to listen to a LOT today.

Originally Posted By smedley Thanks Lillibelle, pleased to report that I heard today I have passed the interviews, but still have to wait till next week to find out whether they're offering me a permanent or 2 year contract. My big complaint? They knew yesterday, but instead of ringing me and speaking to me, I was sent a text message!! I didnt have my phone switched on as I wasn't out, so didn't know till I arrived at work this morning and my line manager was applauding me!!!! Do these people not know this is my life they're messing with?!?!?! PS. Lillibelle, sorry the biopsy hurt, but I will be thinking good things for the results and am sending you a great big hug to make it better

Anyway I got the results from my interviews last week, and I'd passed with flying colours. Yesterday I was told I was only being offered a 2 yr contract, as I didn't have the correct skill sets!!! This wouldn't be so annoying, but at least 2 other people with exactly the same skills set as me have been offered permanent contracts. I am disappointed, disillusioned and more annoyed than I can possibly express. I will take the 2 yr contract, as it gives me time to sort stuff out, but I really don't want to be working for this company any more. Oh yes, and I am also going to be speaking to senior management for an explanation as to how I have the wrong skills set for a permanent position when others with the same skills have the right one. Watch this space, I expect to be here a lot over the next couple of weeks/years!

Originally Posted By smedley I don't think they have any interest in company loyalty, they've obviously got some plan/motive. I just feel disappointed and frustrated and angry. How can they with one hand tell me I'm amongst the very best people they've interviewed, and then 2 days later be telling me I'm not good enough to warrant a permanent position? Surely if I'm so great I'm worth giving the opportunity to learn the new skills (I've done it enough for them already)? They did try to throw me the, if you can prove you've got the new skills in 2yrs then *maybe* we'll give you a new job then, line. It was all I could do not to tell them exactly where to insert it
