I've turned down the job twice.
TWICE.
I didn't want any more responsibility.
I have 4 hospitals that I oversee for Clinical Engineering in the Pacific Northwest.
I was happy with that.
Really.
Two in the Hawiian Islands, and two in Oregon.
They had offered me a fifth hospital in Oregon a major one in Portland and I kept turning it down.
Until tonight.
I basically was directed to take the promotion and the responsibility.
Working more means screwing off less.
This was supposed to be my retirement job, not one where I have to work more.
(I know)
Some will say this is a pity party and I'm bragging.
Trust me, it's a rant.
I'm getting too old for this shit!

Oh admit it! It's gotta be good for the ego, no?
When I was working for someone else, a promotion always meant being closer to the door. But don't let my personal opinions disturb you..
Congrats!! Or not...
We're all proud of the bunny though, never let anyone say otherwise!!

It's difficult, hence the whine thread.
On one hand, it is flattering to be "needed".
On the other hand it's a giant pain in the ass because of the toxic personalities involved. Engineering problems I have no problem handling. Problem? Solution.
Done.
But this is dealing with more personnel and personalities. And that's out of my comfort zone.
Is it still legal to give recalcitrant employees a sound thrashing with a bamboo cane?
I haven't seen the latest HR memo.
Quote:I haven't seen the latest HR memo.
Depending on the firm one works for, I'll bet HR can be like an annoying pack of Soviet commissars these days.
Cheers
Good Luck Mr.beez.
Good for you. We are Proud of you.
And when they day comes when you really want to retire, you can just let HR run after you until you close the door in their face.
Feels Great to slam that door!
Look on the bright side old chap.
You get more Gunthers!
I don't blame you. I hate more responsibility .
I personally like working on equipment and helping others. I hate having to deal with a bunch of grown men that act like bunch little school girls.
I guess just deal with it as best as you can, there is a reason they wanted to add more on you.
Good luck !
Hey Beez, Congrats (?!) or not
They obviously have faith in you. What would have happened if you would have refused again? I hate that they forced you into this, but a promotion is a promotion. Best wishes my bunny friend.

On the drive here, Portlandistan, I think I've created a successful argument for why I should NOT get this promotion.
We'll find out this week.

Of course the promotion is yours. You are a natural leader.
...and just think of the perks...less commute to the protests every night.
