The phantom vacancy

The phantom vacancy A couple of years ago, one of my old colleagues made me an offer that would have been stupid to refuse at the time. No nothing sexual but a new job in a position I'd coveted for a while. He had moved to a well known dealership, they were planning to open up a new site in a local affluent area. The manufacturer had already selected him as chief technician, told him he could hire his own staff and he wanted me as the service manager. The position came with a higher salary that what I'm currently on, with a company car and being a dealership with less responsibility. In my eyes it was win win win with an extra bit of win of the side. However as the site was under construction I would have to wait a couple of months. So never tendered a resignation as I wanted to wait until I had the conformation of employment letter. Every now and again I would get updates and the start date was drawing closer but never received anything more concrete than just updates. Doubt started to creep into my mind so did a bit of investigating, g-oogle was searched and a recon drive to the alleged site. Bit fat zilch on all fronts. Fair to say I lost my rag and sent a text saying 'OK I need to know what the fuck is going on' to which I heard nothing back. Months later he starts phoning me and texting me apologising, I never answered or replied. Apparently the plans fell through and he didn't know how to tell me. Yeah right....!!! Now about three weeks ago he starts phoning me again, of course I ignored them. On the last one he leaves a voice mail. Story goes he has opened up his own garage and wants me to come work with him. Me being me hit oogle again, what do I find.. It only bloody exists, do the recon drive sure enough the building exists as well. Double bonus the business deals with Lotus, Noble, Maserati, Ferrari and Lamborghini Curiosity has piqued to an all time high, and after a chat with my mum during our weekly food shopping trip her comment of 'if you don't find out then you'll always play out the what if scenario' (curses sometimes she does talk sense)decide to bite the bullet. So drive over on a saturday morning to pay him a visit open minded yet still with an element of doubt. Due to his new business going well he is planning to expand alarm bells did start ringing on that note and he wants me to come in as an assistant manager so he can focus on the new site. Receptionist fair do's but management, sure I do a spot of management when my present boss is on holiday but full time with no technical experience and qualifications. No mechanic would respect me and customers in the super car world would also expect a manager with the relevant experience. Yet what really topped it off he then tries it on, he has tried in the past and in honesty I have kissed him whilst we were both drunk whilst we were still working together. Since then hes now married with . Told him where to go and left. Right now I have no idea if the job was genuine or just some elaborate ruse to still try to get into my pants after all this time. |

Take it as a compliment either way If it was a real offer then he obviously thinks you can do the job. If he just wanted to get in your knickers then at least you have real-life evidence that you're a sexually attractive woman... But we knew that already

I thought that having affairs in-house were not just a no-no, but also led to unmeasurable problems?  If he was really thinking of having you there mainly to have some office sex, then it seems to me that he's underestimated you. Makes me wonder what else has he overlooked? Not exactly talking about strong foundations......
