I manage a tool room for my company.
When things where reallly down earlier this year, we were fortunate enough to still have enough work to enable me to bring in another employee to help out in my department.
I was blown away by the amount of really skilled people that were available during the interview process.
I could have hired some really good experianced people for this position.
One thing I wanted to make sure of was that I find someone that wouldn't bolt to another company when things got better in the industry.
I settled for a person who was skilled enough to do what I needed, lived close by, and had a desent work history.
One thing I liked was that he had previous management experiance.
I thought that someone who has seen both sides of the fence would be a little wiser.
At first he worked out great. and unfortunately things hit rock bottom in the economy and we had to let him go (He was hired on a Temp basis)
I told him not to worry and that I would lobby hard to get him back as soon as things got better. Which I did.
About 2 months later I was given permission to bring him back. He has been with us ever since.
But last week I just got word that he has been talking to my boss about how much better things would be if he where running things.
You get this from any number of subordinants. This is not somthing I am unaccustommed to seeing. But to do this so soon after I got him employed really blows my mind.
Can someone reach behind me and yank that knife out...it's really bothering me.
