The packing is coming along, slowly but surely. I'm getting tired of looking at everything being everywhere.
We got some really aggravating news today. We've been planning this move since January when I found out I had been accepted to Emory's program. Beloved had notified her job soon thereafter so the necessary steps could be taken to have her transfer complete by this month. She has been maintaining close contact with the people in her HR department to make sure everything has been taken care of. Her HR rep had assured Beloved and her supervisor that the transfer was finalized and there were no problems whatsoever. So today Beloved signed all the official stuff for salary, etc. However, when Beloved called the new HR department to get specifics of where/when she needed to be on her first day, they stated they hadn't received her paperwork. They went on to say that the earliest day Beloved could start would be three weeks later than the date we had been planning on. Her HR department offered her one of three options:
1.) Take the time off without pay
2.) Exhaust her sick/vacation time
3.) Stay and work 2+ weeks here
This is a big problem. First of all, HR rep here blatantly lied to Beloved on more than one occasion about the status of her transfer. Additionally, Beloved's supervisor also had been keeping tabs on the transfer and was lied to as well when he inquired about it. Secondly, HR rep here did not send Beloved's paperwork. She just didn't send it. Why? Because it's too difficult to actually do your job competently? And now we're faced with either having absolutely no money (I don't receive any of my school money until the end of August) or use every last bit of Beloved's leave. In either case, I don't think these are fair options. Moreover, I'm angry that Beloved and I will be punished for this idiot's carelessness.
At this point, I know we're definitely leaving on Tuesday. I know she will not be staying to work here. Whether or not we'll get any money remains to be seen. What would you do?

i'd be pissed, not sure what i'd do...probably try to survive on what you've got if that's an option - it would suck to have her use up all her time off in the event that she may need/want it later.
sorry you're having to deal with this. is there anyone in HR (or above) that can fix it?
i personally think there is a special place in hell for HR managers. but, i know that does not help you.
I agree about that special place in hell for HR managers :)
I think what's probably gonna happen is you guys are screwed - will likely have to suck it up and go with no money or use Beloved's PTO. That sucks.
BTW, I am adding you to my blogroll (or whatever the hell it's called). Hope you don't mind?
