One of the shareholders just came in to tell me that my request to go part-time has been granted. He forgot to mention when my new status goes into effect, and was so stunned to finally get an answer that I forgot to ask. They are going to pay me slightly less than I asked, which I anticipated when I offered up the number, so that worked out just fine. However, I was told that they won’t guarantee any minimum number of hours and I will work, and be paid, on an as-needed basis. It’s their way of getting me on the cheap. But, it’s an answer. And should allow me some more time to find something new.
I am still looking. I did hear that I am still being considered for the teaching position, but the closer we get to January, the less confident I feel that I am going to get that job. It’s been a week since my interview and if I don’t hear something by the end of the day I think I am going to have to assume that I need to look for something else.
Just out of curiosity, what is the longest you have had to wait to get a “yes” or “no” from a prospective employer?
