Just when I sent out a ton of work requests. Heh

Ooo, this is interesting. The most recent position that I applied for, I received a call just now to set up a Zoom interview for this coming Monday the 17th. Hopefully the cats behave lol

It figures that Bosslady FINALLY responded to my years of requests and I sent out emails last week to try to get proposals from seventeen different faculty and also have requested information to get four other projects rolling. Oh and I am collecting effort reporting that I made due in early August.

Suffice it to say if I'm offered the position (it would be a lateral move but still might come with a pay bump), she's honestly completely fucked since she elected to get me no help so I run the entire land-grant research process. But that's not my problem.

I mean when you know and have told someone that they should be two pay grades higher but then screw them over by saying you'll not give them an upgrade out of spite, do you expect that they won't look for someplace else to work?

We'll see how this goes.

EDIT: Oh and did I mention that I'm the only one set up to apply for our millions of dollars in funding and they haven't put out this year's call yet?

Hey, maybe the interviewer is a cat lover. Good luck for Monday!

Hopefully! Though I've known her for years and she's always been decent. I used to be the data person on the preaward side and this is doing award setup on the postaward side. I don't have all the skills that they need but the folks that know me there know that I pick things up quickly.

sending ALL the good thoughts! You deserve a new awesome opportunity!

Thanks! It would be the same job level, different title but where I'm at now, I've not even posted about all the turmoil going on that is even worse than just Bosslady being incompetent. We used to be the campus that everyone wanted to work on and now people are asking what happened.

So if anything, at least when they'd ask about why I'm looking to leave where I'm at, I'm sure they've already heard the rumbles.

All my fingers crossed. A lateral move is STILL out of that office, and I do believe that is called for. YAY.
