I know I'm knew around here but could really use some p&pt thoughts on this one. Dh submitted his resume for a job that we would really like him to have.
A little background, he worked for Xerox for 3.5 years as a deskside support technician (he fixed computers). He drove an hour each way and last year he got a new boss and the job started not being as good as it was. Like he worked a holiday the rest of Xerox had off (he worked at another company that had a contract with Xerox) and was supposed to get comp time for it and he never did and that was just the tip of the iceberg! Anyways, my best friend's wife got him into the place she works at. Soon after getting in there my friend's wife was sexually harrased and the same guy was telling inappropriate stories in the office. So both my dh and my friend's wife reported it. Then the guy above my dh's boss (who happened to be the guy reported's friend) fired my dh. It was within dh's 90 days and in Michigan its at will employment and it couldn't be proved that dh was fired b/c of reporting.
He's worked at some temp jobs since then. The economy in Michigan is horrible! Right now, he's working over an hour away and making less than we need to make ends meet. *sigh* His recruiter just found a job in the big city near us (about 20 miles) that pays wonderfully and its a permanent job! He hopes to get dh an interview this week.
This would be wonderful. We really need this job. Its help desk, which isn't where dh wants to be, but it pays great.

Doesn't matter how new you are, you can always ask for P&PT.
I really hope he gets this!
