Confession time... I've been researching plants and spending money rather than meal planning

Yes I noticed :mad:. I'm starving

Hurray to researching plants! I've been research whether bark chippings are acidic, does that count? :D:D

I think they are Karmacat. Am on sand - lots of sand - so acidic anyway here without the bark chippings.

My boss told me this morning that he had been unable to reach an agreement with HR about the proposed new career ladder and, therefore, he was withdrawing my promotion nomination :mad::(:mad::(:mad:

MWC ! Thats horrible and a really sh*tty thing to hear. Is he prepared to find you another way forward?

MWC, excuse me answering this in the same post as yours above. Watty, I googled again just to be sure, and its *pine* bark mulch thats acidic, not bark per se. Any mulch can turn "sour", apparently - needs a little bit of oxygen, or lots of water if its already turned.

Outrageous... did he suggest anything else at all?

Thanks KC, GG & Hurdler

I can't believe that this time I thought it might actually happen... I'm so disappointed in myself

I've been trying to get a career progression plan for 3 years. Last year my boss had a half-hearted attempt; however, this year I think he really did try. According to him, local HR are in agreement but global HR aren't interested. The problem is that my current role (the one that far exceeds my job description :mad:) doesn't map on to the company-wide career ladder...

Tonight, I shall be updating linked-in, updating my CV and job-hunting

Oh MWC, that does sound pants. I'm so sorry to hear.

Have a dodgy hug: :grouphug:
