Guest guest Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 He wants me to be his " personal assistant, " with no other responsibilities to the law office (i.e. phones, secretarial). It will only entail his personal things, like travel, entertainment, his " wedding " planning (next June), his kids tuition packages, and any business ventures. He has tailored the job to be Monday thru Thursday, with Fridays to have " my " time at home, at the same salary I was getting for 5 days. He said he really needs me, and would really like me to stay. He's moving my desk to sit outside his office, hiring a legal secy, receptionist and office manager (I TOLD you I did a lot!)My husband called from San Francisco and said, " honey, it isn't every day that someone spends the whole weekend reformatting their office.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 wow, . He's not making your decision easy for you. It must be very flattering to know he >really< wants you to stay. Now you have to figure out if this new job is going to have the sane schedule you need, or is it going to turn into your old job. I mean, planning a wedding is a full-time job in itself! As I mentioned, my sister went through something similar with her old boss, where he kept promising to make the hours saner for her, but then they (and she claims some responsibility) slipped back into the old routine. I think you have to trust your instincts about your boss and figure out if this new job is going to be what you want. take care, and let us know! - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 , If you feel you can handle it and its what YOU want to do then go for it.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 fwiw, it sounds to me like he really respects your work and values you as an employee - he didn't have to rearrange things just to keep you, after all...and I'm not saying take the newly configured job just because he set it up for you...but it does give me pause, and makes me think that he's doing a lot not to loose you as an emplyee; and that even if you might not feel it, he probably does respect you and your work and your work ethic jmho marisa --- & nne Svihlik wrote: > , > If you feel you can handle it and its what YOU want > to do then go for it.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 , Dang, that's impressive, you must be amazing. Here's a thought: you could certainly try it. You can always quit later. Best wishes on this decision.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 : I think I am wondering the same thing Rhonda was....can you not do this on a " trial " basis? Give him a month (if he REALLY does want to keep you, he'll likely agree) and if you are in over your head, feel overwrought (or are overwhelmed with the urge to strangle the man) then I'd pack it in prior to the voluntary manslaughter charges : ) - Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I still think you should pick up and gooooo, out of this toxic workplace because of your past experiences there. And I wouldn't want to be working just for one person.........too much depending on his good humor. Just my humble opinion, for what it's worth.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Marisa, I think that's great, but it's an " inside " joke w/Lu - she was born in Italy and we always kid each other as we are both italians. I knew Lu would get a " kick " out of it. Well, off to get ready for NYC and Martha Show. I'm SO excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
