At the end of May one of the clerks I work with in my assignment left her position to take another one within the same facility, only in a different department.
After trying it for a few weeks she decided she didn't like it, so she asked her supervisor to return to her position. She was told she couldn't because it had already been filled. Now if this is the case I'm not aware because I haven't been told that I now have a new clerk to work with. The assignment is still being covered by another clerk for the time being.
Anyway, she sends me an email today asking me to help her get her position back. I'm not management so there isn't anything I can do to help her. However, I do know that in their contract they have an "out" clause. They can take a different position and if within 3 months they don't like it, they can return to their old position. So I passed that information along to her.
I would love for her to return because she is an excellent clerk and we worked well together.
Just shows that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. At least she seems to have an option to reverse her decision to leave, unlike the nurses who don't have an "out" clause and you are stuck with your decision.
