During November 2009 to end of January 2010, both myself and my collegaue Sarah W covered for a line managers position.
The college had accepted the resignation of my previous line manager. She had said that they had offered her the same job for a lower salary (a classic more for less attitude!)
The relplacement (the COG) was to start a week or two after Sara T had left. Unfortunatelty the new recruit psotponed her start date to Feb .... 3 months after the schedule.
Had this been part of the plan...? No obviously not. The plan had been for the new staff member to slot straight into the space made by my previous line manager.
This discrepency had caused three people to take over the vacant role. Such a flaw in THE SYSTEM meant that extra pressure was put on 3 of us to cover that persons job. No one had thought about getting a temporary replacement part.
A bit like driving a car with three wheels! Well it doesnt matter there are three wheels. We can make do til the new one arrives!
There was not a single word of thanks for the work we did during those three months and not any financial renumeration (3 months of this persons salary should have been split between us!)
