"I’ve just heard that Mike’s moved jobs," said Jack to Peter. "The strange thing is that he’s moved to a much smaller firm and he’s usually so ambitious. It doesn’t sound like the kind of thing he’d do. Moving to a larger firm would be much more his style. "
Peter replied, " I was talking to him briefly last night, but he didn’t have time to give me any details. He said he’d tell me all about it next time we meet. I gather that he still liked the work he was doing, but the marketing department, where he worked, had become a revolving door. A lot of people left before Mike did and their replacements are staying no time at all. That must be very unsettling for everyone. "
Just then, Mike walked in and they asked him what had happened to make him change jobs. He began to tell them the background to his move. "To put it in a nutshell, it’s all the fault of the new marketing director. About six months ago, management decided that as a company we didn’t have a high enough profile and they got rid of Jeff Jones, who was head of marketing, and appointed someone to improve the image of the company. Unfortunately, the new broom is one of those people who takes an instant dislike to some people and sets out to make their lives a misery. I don’t know what he’s done for the public image of the firm, but morale has hit rock bottom. It’s particularly sad because Jeff Jones was a good boss and it was a very happy department when he was there. "
Peter said, "That’s dreadful. It’s very difficult to work under such circumstances. How did you get on with him?"
"I got on with him all right, I suppose, but his mood could change from one minute to another. None of us knew where we stood with him. I decided early on to get out while the going was good and was lucky enough to get a job with Smith & Jones. They’re a much smaller company, but you can see that they’re going places. They treat their staff well and so they stay around. "
"It might be in the end a good career move, then," said Jack. "Perhaps he did you a favour, after all. "
" Certainly," said Mike, " I’ve taken a cut in salary at the moment, but looking at the big picture I can see that my promotion prospects are much better. "
"You wouldn’t go back to your old job if this new man left, then?" asked Peter.
"After the way management let him treat us?" asked Mike. "You must be joking!"
