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.
