How do I support my husband and at the same time kick his butt for not going after a job he wants. [View all]
I completely understand why he is hesitiant. He's been passed over 3 times already for assistant manager.
He has been with this company for 10 years. Gotten passed over again and again. One manager who ended up getting fired basically laughed in his face about giving him a chance at A.M. position.
This latest A.M. had left the hotel and was only part time when he left. He was basically given the A.M. postion before the A.M. announced to everyone that he was leaving.
Hubby told the Manger he was upset that he wasn't even given a chance. So they start asking question like are you going to support the new A.M.--I honestly thought they where trying to get something to fire my husband on BUT they didn't.
He has a Assoc degree and is the longest front desk person at the place.
The latest A.M. went into the Manger's office and gave his notice even though he sign a 1 year contract he got a better job and it isn't six months he's been there.
So Today my husband e-mailed the manger asking to be considered for the post. I told him Stay late tomorrow morning and remind the manger that you have been there for 10 years you know that hotel better than anyone. (manager has been there for about 1 year.)
I just think he doesn't want to get burn. So do I encourage him to do more or do I respect he doesn't want to put himself full force because he figures he's going to get burn again?
