Temporary promotion

I am moving into an office role at work first on a temporary basic but then moving into a permanent role once my new manager is back. I am quite nervous about it. I am not too confident on the phone. I was working in a completely different role but it was facing the public. Now I am worried that I will get in sacked/ demoted.

  • Well you might well be, if you can't do the job. What's your question?
  • Let's remember >they< selected you? I mean I never heard of an employee force themselves successfully on an employer, against will, yet.

    Believe in yourself and see how it goes. Only time will tell, it's the same for everyone.

    Personally I believe in picking up a phone and getting stuck in as soon as you can - the longer kept of the phones when you know that is your job the more panicy you may become. If you want to know more controlling the caller etc I'm sure we or they can help.

    Okay you are nervous like 90% of people starting a new job and you have a bit of anxiety about using the phone at work and knowing that others can hear you. Very normal again.

    You just have to do it and get used to it, it's all in the experience.

    Bizarre posting history, in the space of a few weeks he's been worried about gross misconduct, starting life as a contractor and now promotion.
