(sorry it is long, I need to moan)
DH has been offered another job.
He filled in all the paperwork for the new job and he posted off the acceptance on his way to work today.
I typed up his resignation letter last night, and he gave the letter to his line manager this morning.
She won't accept it.
Now I feel for my DH as he has been really happy working where he is. He sometimes struggles to get along with certain people, but the mix of personalities there fits him like a glove and he loves it there. It is hard physical work but he gets a great sense of achievement and is very motivated.
But it is a 70 mile round trip, most of it on the motorway and he leave home at 0620 hours and gets home between 1800 and 1930 hours most days.
We hardly see him, and then when he is home, he is exhausted. DD (3.5y) sometimes only sees him for an hour in the evening, sometimes she is already in bed by the time he gets home.
Why does his line manager have to give him a hard time, he feels bad enough as it is resigning ?
Apparently his line manager is going to speak to the owner and get back to him.
In all honesty, they can't make the location closer to home and they cannot make the motorway traffic free and they cannot give us our family time back
New job is tiny bit more money, and only a 30 mile round trip, avoiding the *** motorway.
(sorry, and unfortunately I don't feel any better because I am in limbo waiting for an update from DH)
