oh god my day just went from bad to worse - got home from work and DH had an awful 2nd day in his new job. Is doing a job completely different to what he had been doing in his previous company, which would be fine if the company gave him training!
They basically ran things through over the course of 1.5 days and then said "right, tomorrow its over to you". This happened this evening. He was in tears when he picked me up from the station. He has finally calmed down a bit but is so worried. He is going to call his managers into a meeting tomorrow and explain that he is a bit out of his depth and needs more help. But he is petrified that they are just going to turn around and say well sorry,thats the job deal with it or leave. I have tried to tell him that I am sure it wont come to that but he's not entirely convinced.
He took suck a risk with this job - leaving a company he has been with for a long time where he had no prospects to taking this job at a 50% pay cut almost but its something he really wants to do. Explained in the interview his knowledge was limited but would love a chance with them etc. They agreed to take him on as a junior (they were advertising for seniors) but have put him in a job different to the one he was offered. he was told this would be a small part of his job so he was happy enough with that, as its all experience at the end of the day. He is just so worried that he has made the wrong decision and completely F***ed things up.
The poor lamb - in the 10 years we have been together, I have only seen him cry twice.
I have told him to call a meeting tomorrow, explain that he feels he can do the role but just needs a bit more training (he thinks just a couple of days shadowing people and practising etc) and really wants to work for them etc. I told him that logically it should be fine - the guy who interviewed him knew he had little experience so that I think the has just been a bit of cross wires and that the people he is now working directly with have not been informed properly of his ability/experience etc. Hes just not sure what they will say as the people who would need to train them are up to their eyes with work at the moment and barely have a free minute.
Im praying all goes well for him tomorrow - my stomach is in knots
Sorry for the rant but there is nobody else I can talk to at the moment.
Hopefully in 24 hours I will be on here updating that everything has turned out fine
