Typical boss behaviour...

Nah, things aren't so bad. I'm generally left alone to do things my way, although she's now bringing in another minion. Once said minion is up to speed, I'm supposed to get more assignments.

Allow me to translate that for you:

When said minion is up to speed, you will get more assignments just before said minion is promoted/transferred to another department - you will keep additional assignments; if said minion does not get up to speed, you will get more assignments and will take up slack said minion creates in permanent lack of productivity.

I hope this clears things up in time for your weekend.

Nope. I know the contract the new minion is being hired under, and there's no possible promotion or transferring involved.

Contract!


Yep, same contract I was originally hired under, back in '08. Six months, with a possible six-month extension. I just did so well that I was hired back.

I had a totally different take on that.

The new minion is being brought in to do other assignments but also to be trained up to take over your job in the future. You've got 6 months to train the minion up to know just enough to lose / fire the high priced (T) talent and start this inevitable cycle over again.

T's best defense here is to do a miserable job of training this person or make this person hate the hospital so much that they leave for other more agreeable employment shortly before the end of their contract...

T: I trust you are capable of providing a 'slow burn' misery on your new coworker?

When you will discuss your contract and, hopefully, full time permanent position?

BTW, is minion your subordinate?
