Phew, P's left our team and it feels that the sun has come out. She was so negative about everything (even her home life) that it was difficult to stay focussed on creating a better way of working which in our team which need to do.
Me and C(who's a lovely 21 year old) have agreed to do extra hours until they get a replacement for P. P's job has been advertised and I did speak to my manager beforehand about this. It would be a natural progression especially as I've been looking for another job for ages to go for this job but because P has always been so negative about it, its kind of made me wary of applying for it. However, stepping into P's shoes this week has been a real eye opener. Me and C have worked as a team and we've gone great guns at getting things onto a more even keel. Our manager had a chat with us about how things have gone yesterday and she was really impressed at what we've done. It feels like such a relief. I've started my application now, P's job is exactly the same hours as mine but on a higher band and I just hope that I get it. If not I will be really brassed off after all the effort I've put in over this past year and will have to find something elsewhere but crossing fingers I just hope it doesn't come to that.
Wish me luck!
