I agree with the others that a face to face conversation is a better idea than an e-mail. This way you have a better idea of how the other person is interpreting your thoughts and feelings. I can see how you would be hurt by them not offering this position until you were gone but in your post it sounds like you and B had a much better relationship than you and A had. The opportunity with C could turn out well and you never know how things will happen in the future with all of the changes that seem to be going on at your bank. I guess in short, if you feel the need to clear the air then do it in person and move forward.Brennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11539730024285239393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505941546366674045.post-11487886838094934352009-09-10T11:39:54.943-05:002009-09-10T11:39:54.943-05:00Oh that would upset me too!

I'm just sayin.....Ok, bad idea to cry at work. I'm just sayin..... It'd be one thing if you worked with women (I'd like to think we'd be a little bit more understanding), but you're working with men.<br />I think you made a good move by printing off your resume and submitting it for the position. A might have been able to access your employee file from the HR person? If you submitted any sort of resume or application in the past, it might indicate the lack of a marketing back ground. And by the way, an EA position that requires a marketing background sounds like you'd be more than a EA (doing two jobs and being paid for only one). <br />As for the email, writing to vent is good, but never send it. Better to cool off for a while, get another opinion, and edit! Here's what I thought was good:"I'm sorry for the way I behaved yesterday. I have been an Executive Assistant for over 15 years and loved my job. In order to stay at the bank, I took a position in the other department. When I came into work yesterday and found out that an Executive Assistant position had become available, I was hurt. It appeared that the position materialized after I took a position in another department. I hope this does not tarnish our working relationship." Maybe add something fluffy and slightly ass-kissing? You don't want to burn bridges, and maybe he could help you find something else or be a reference.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454114357977846319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505941546366674045.post-4785866479894300172009-09-10T08:11:03.376-05:002009-09-10T08:11:03.376-05:00I've been on the receiving end of a similar si...I've been on the receiving end of a similar situation. Speak to the person. No one will know how you feel unless you tell them. Be carefull with emails.

But I agree- speaking in person is much better. Emails are tricky when it comes to emotions.

If I did have an issue at work, I probably would speak with the person face to face and not use email. But that's just my approach. And honestly, if you're not going to have to work with these people anymore, I might say nothing and just drop it. Move on to your new position and look for something else if you are unhappy. I know you are hurt, but sometimes it is better not to continue the drama. I don't think I have been much help. Sorry you had to experience this.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173303399522862906noreply@blogger.com
