Side eyeing my husband

So I'm working my first shift.  :) Mainly training tonight.  I'm half way done and on break.  But guess who decides to come in and drop a major bomb while I'm working?  Yeah, so gonna momentarily freak out here. 

Apparently the area manager in Sacramento quit, so they are looking for one.  He told his regional manager he was interested.  

Say What??????

Yeah, I'd be excited for him to have the opportunity to be a manager. But hello cost of living increase!  I honestly don't think we would be able to afford it if I worked and even then, I'm not sure.  Plus we just bought our place. I know the market is hot and we could sell it.  Just the thought of moving again makes me want to cry inside.  And I know telling his RM that he was interested doesn't mean he has to apply.  Just having a mental freak out while working. 

So how's your Friday night????

PS. My great grandma is recovering.  It was a mild stroke.  She is still in the hospital due to spiking a fever at night.  They want to keep an eye on her.  But otherwise she is slowly recovering.  Thanks for all the T&Ps.

Re: Side eyeing my husband

  • Sorry to hear about your grandma but I am happy that she is on the mend.  

    That is a bomb.  Maybe you could live on the outskirts. 
  • Yikes! That is a major cost of living increase! Even living in the outskirts is pricey... good ol California.

    Sometimes guys just don't think...

  • For your sake, I hope he doesn't get it. ;)
  • It would have to be a cost of living increases included.
  • That's what I told him.  We had already discussed where we would be okay moving to when we were in Oklahoma.  We had ruled out California due to the cost of living.  He said he told his RM he was interested more to show he was interested in a management position.  He said that they would have to give him a big enough raise to cover the COL increase and it probably wouldn't be enough.  So we most likely will not be moving to CA.  Even though his sister and mom would love it. 

    It just completely shocked me.

  • Be careful.  Sometimes with hard to fill positions, showing interest becomes a transfer.....

  • Mark, that is what I was thinking last night.  They need to fill it pretty quickly.  The manager who was there, was hired by the competition.  So when he gave his two weeks, they said "see ya".

  • But I can't imagine they would want to pay twice in almost 2 years to move him out.
  • WOW! That is crazy. I hope you guys are able to stay where you are. I wouldn't want to move so often especially across different states.

    Nothing says they would.  They might, they might not.

  • I agree on them probably not wanting to pay to move us twice.  And I don't want to move again so soon.

  • I hope that for your sake he doesn't get it. Or at least gets adaquate wages for it...

  • Honestly if someone with management experience speaks up, it will go to them.  P doesn't have any management experience and it's a large territory to manage.  He says he wants to break into management but whenever I suggest taking online classes, he just shrugs.  I have my associates in Business Management.  I was able to do 99% of it online.

  • Sounds like he wants on the job experience more than classroom time.

  • That's pretty much how he is.  So I don't push it.  It's just when he's frustrated about trying to move up that I suggest it. 

    He was just texting me.  Apparently the ASM position was for the west coast - California, Oregon and Washington.  So with the ASM leaving, they are taking this opportunity to split the areas into two positions.  One will be over the 4 offices in California.  The other will be over the Oregon office and the 2 offices in Washington.  P said he wouldn't want the position in California.  But he is still interested in the position for OR/WA.  He said we would be able to live in either state. 

    We also talked this weekend about what we would do with our current place (on the off chance he does get a promotion).  We decided since we just bought in October, we would keep it and rent it.  Hire a management company.  The rental market is crazy here so we could potentially make some extra money by renting.  At least until we can do a few updates (windows and AC unit).  We don't think we would be able to sell it for much more than we bought it for.  Which would actually cost us money on closing costs, ect.  I suggested trying to sell it to see if we could and if not, then rent it.  Honestly the market is so crazy, we might be able to make enough to cover the closing costs from buying and selling.  But not much more.
