1 KM welcomed us to a meeting to support Majk Stokes after the outcome
|
|
|
2 of the appointment process.
|
|
|
3
|
|
|
4 KM invited Majk to share how he was feeling.
|
|
|
5
|
|
|
6 Assistant Manager for 12 years, and Acting Manager for 4 months,
|
|
|
7 promotion was the obvious next step.
|
|
|
8
|
|
|
9 'New perspective?' Discounts all the hard work and experience, counted against to me
|
|
|
10
|
|
|
11 Still quite raw.
|
|
|
12
|
|
|
13 Delay in email at the time.
|
|
|
14
|
|
|
15 Signalled interest in the job at the beginning of the summer, wasn't
|
|
|
16 given any help or feedback at all.>
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
18 --------
|
|
|
19
|
|
|
20 KM: Full and open procedure, equal treatment: In the end panel choose
|
|
|
21 more depth and breadth of experience in person management and venue
|
|
|
22 management.
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 Giving feedback even now, panel hopes is useful going forewords.
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 Personal feedback should have happened right away, you were owed that,
|
|
|
27 and the panel apologises.
|
|
|
28
|
|
|
29 Absence of Majk's line manager meant the person normally responsible
|
|
|
30 for helping him wasn't there, and MC failed to step in and do that
|
|
|
31 job.
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 JP: New perspective? Something you were looking for? No, not going
|
|
|
34 in, it was something that emerged in the interview process.
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 Coming into a new situation allows new ideas
|
|
|
37
|
|
|
38 _But_ new perspective wasn't the starting point, or the primary point.
|
|
|
39
|
|
|
40 M&B interviewed very well, but so did the other candidates. We had a
|
|
|
41 very hard time making the decision.
|
|
|
42
|
|
|
43 Majk still struggling to see why he and Beth couldn't have done this
|
|
|
44 as well or better.
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 And it now looks like I'm being pushed back to Ass't Mgr and showing
|
|
|
47 how everything works, that's hard to take.
|
|
|
48
|
|
|
49 Delay in panel response was bad, but it was _very_ hard to reply in
|
|
|
50 writing. Agreed that retaining Acting pay for the first month a
|
|
|
51 reasonable request.
|
|
|
52
|
|
|
53 Forward:
|
|
|
54
|
|
|
55 Miranda changed to not being paid for lunch break
|
|
|
56
|
|
|
57 Like to go down to a two-day week. Three monhts in? Start in January
|
|
|
58 better?
|
|
|
59
|
|
|
60 Like to have a more environmental or creative focus: recycling/energy
|
|
|
61 efficiency aspect perhaps. C-venues were a mess, they don't learn from
|
|
|
62 their mistakes, Greenside would have been a better bet, make my job
|
|
|
63 more about planning for and managing "Venue 40", that would be much
|
|
|
64 more satisfying. That's obviously a whole conversation to be ha
|
|
|
65
|
|
|
66 So having a project, taking the lead on something, for example V40 or
|
|
|
67 environmental, that would be great.
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69 RF: New managers would be really excited to hear that.
|
|
|
70
|
|
|
71 Easy to lose sight of the environmental stuff, so having someone
|
|
|
72 actually pushing that on staff will also this is a great time to get
|
|
|
73 that going.
|
|
|
74
|
|
|
75 Sabbatical? Maybe...
|
|
|
76
|
|
|
77 Beth's thoughts?
|
|
|
78
|
|
|
79 Not the historical connection, so not the same emotional investment,
|
|
|
80 angry on Majk's behalf. Would have found ways to do the job well.
|
|
|
81
|
|
|
82 Not here because this meeting is for Majk, looking at other avenues
|
|
|
83 for new work.
|
|
|
84
|
|
|
85 [Beth not interested in pursuing the casual post]
|
|
|
86
|
|
|
87 There's an open door for further discussion.
|
|
|
88
|
|
|
89 M proposes to support S&A for up to 3 months, paid for it, go down to 2 days,
|
|
|
90 considered for sabbatical.
|
|
|
91
|
|
|
92 MC will get back to you ASAP.
|
|
|
93
|
|
|
94 M will let S&A know that he applied for the job, but has no animus
|
|
|
95 towards them personally.
|
|
|
96
|
|
|
97 JP&MH are happy to continue to support.
