it is, but talking, asking q's about why have gotten some answers that are like the past. None thinking (or hiding actually)- why are you interested, what would you do if we had a difference in ideas...I will be his supervisor, he said "well..I'd just quit". My tiredness is gettinmg un the way of being objective. Closed the door a year and 1/2 again, looking to see him as a applicant but the answers made me wonder... Does your boss know he's your ex? It would be uncomfortable to say the least. Boundries would need to be set.He would have to understand you are the boss. Bring it up in the interview, ask him how he would repsond to you being the supervisor. Let himspellit out to the main bossin front of you,so there can be no misunderstandings. Yes, she does know. Thats a excellent idea about bringing it up in tomarrow, 'how will you feel if I ask you to do something that you don't agree with, how would you handle it?'. My Sup has met him , before we divorced. I don't understand why she thinks it's game. Perhaps we all are so tired fromtaking care of both shifts that she's happy someone has applied. I realize the whole decsion is really in my hands after she asked me how I felt and to think about it for a few days. 3 days later said felt at peace with it, then the last 2 days alot of angst. I know...sounds like soap opera stuff...yet such twists in life. Apparently we're not done with something. Ya know?A lot of people have to find their own closure when things end. Not so many of us get to actually find it together. All things for a reason. Maybe you both have to finish something. Ask not why,cause no one is going to give you a straight answer. Follow your gut feelings. |

You HAD to stipulate SERIOUS responses.
Oh well. Were I the one deciding,and it would be my ex...ouch. Not easy, unless you really hate your ex. If you are on good terms with them, as I am (mostly) with mine, AND they really need the employment, AND they can actually do the job, AND they really can't get another job easily, AND you think they are capable of behaving themselves in a businesslike way around you... Then it's time to invest in some calming pharmaceuticals, and say "welcome aboard." If any of the above is NOT true, that would be the reason I'd give to say no. One other thing to consider: there's a possibility things will NOT work out with him there. You will then have to FIRE HIM. You should seriously include that in your thinking about it all. |
