So, it seems that I have been given a promotion today. I was officially offered the Assistant Manager position. But I may catapult to Manager next week. So, I told HR to hold off sending me a contract this week, until we're sure which job I'll end up with. No point wasting time, energy and paper printing out contracts if I'm only going to have to sign a different one a few days later.
The AM resigned yesterday because she forgot to put in a formal leave request for her holiday that she left for on Friday afternoon. And when the leave request she put in on Thursday was refused, she resigned. The manager has holidays booked for next week, but withdrew her holidays request so I'm unsure if she's cancelled her intention to go, or just the request to be paid for it. Neither of them realise that they actually have to get approval from HR to take unpaid leave as well as holidays. So she may be resigning this week, too. Especially after she's spoken with the HR manager tomorrow. They stated on Thursday that if they didn't get their holidays, they'd be resigning. And that all the other staff would walk out with them (other than me.) My HR manager isn't too worried, she knows that I can handle it with a staff member from another store and her, until we find more staff. Certainly an interesting start to the new fiscal year.
