They want to get all the work out of him, without the pay. We have found that you have to stand up for yourself. Most companies do not have YOUR best interest at heart. They want to get their workers as cheaply as possible.<br />When my husband was interviewing for his current job, he told them bluntly that he needed a much higher salary to support his family. If they couldn't offer him a competitive salary then we wouldn't accept the job. When he was offered the job, the salary was much higher than what they offer for their traditional formula they use. I know it only came about because my husband was so frank with them. <br />Personally, if I were in your situation. I would tell the company that you will not move unless he is promoted now. If they choose not to promote him, then they clearly do not value his experience, work ethic or his loyalty. If that is the case, he should work elsewhere. I know that seems like a risky move in today's economy, but nothing will happen without your husband taking a firm stand. And if they don't respond with an immediate promotion offer, then it seems like a waste of time to work there. <br /><br />Good luck.Tiffany Wacaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224661646987749451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075354260507238406.post-16349244826424245432010-03-20T16:46:04.809-06:002010-03-20T16:46:04.809-06:00PC, I can't trust that that specific family wi...PC, I can't trust that that specific family will stay put. I've heard from a source or two that they are considering some other options, although they have the desire to stay put. But they are the super busy ones too, who wouldn't probably have much time for visits with us anyway.JennaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10724959154514125980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075354260507238406.post-21330506863553175612010-03-19T14:09:15.430-06:002010-03-19T14:09:15.430-06:00I thought the next place was going to be the land ...I thought the next place was going to be the land of my birth?

My parents and youngest brother live in one state, then all of my four other brothers each live in a different state/country, and we are in an even different place. Being in Primary is a hard place to really make any friends, that's true. We have a pretty open schedule around here, Wednesday mornings are busy through mid-April, but that's about it.JennaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10724959154514125980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075354260507238406.post-12457675913979521162010-03-15T19:16:47.412-06:002010-03-15T19:16:47.412-06:00So sorry!

Most of my good friends are a good 500 miles away, and being in Primary at church is not really conducive to making that many close friends! Are there times during the week that would work for you?Springhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912952535787322363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2075354260507238406.post-24245176609330672952010-03-15T10:29:50.690-06:002010-03-15T10:29:50.690-06:00On the brighter side of things, your husband still...On the brighter side of things, your husband still has a job. It's hard to be jerked around like that but fortunately there's still some silver lining :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275927651275598653noreply@blogger.com
