Too much too soon? Work trials

dekaspace

Hes not on leave till end of next week, so he wants me to do a few more work trials over the next 9 days (my birthday too which is a shame)


Meeting today was what should of been on normal routine where he fills in forms and interviews me to see my capabilities and asks my experience and such.

Did you go to the work trial(s) or not?

I asked if you went or not. Perhaps best to reread

Assuming you did go, how did they both go? Do you have start dates?

But you should of assumed no news was good news!


It wasn't that type of trial and interview, it was a taster for them to see if I could handle the role and for me to see if I liked it.


I won't find out until after the guy comes back from annual leave if I can get a job there but even he seems more interested in getting me involved in it work.

I wrote that as bait to see if anyone assumed it was me moaning, hasn't happened yet luckily.

I mean sure I would really like my birthday off as I often don't leave the house so that was the one occasion I would let my hair down but it can't be helped.

That's not a very nice thing to do. Do you enjoy it if people bait you?

I don't assume anything, far easier just to ask the question.

How do you feel the trial went?

Very interesting as that was the point, so its ok for people to bait me but I can't bait others.


So you had to post just to say that, seems like baiting to me.


So its ok for people to say things in the thread like I was whinging and moaning so I write something to see if people accused me of it.


So then either way I can't win, shows double standards people can have.

No better no worse than expected really, since I haven't got a job there yet and I was of course mentally exhausted after.


So basically what I expected.
