I spoke too soon (my husband's job).

Oops! I was too critical of the people who left. The remaining full time person and part time person (we didn't even know there was a part time person - he was working from home) left today. Turns out that the manager is bipolar and he went off his meds a couple of weeks ago. He gets violent and it has happened before. The manager's manager is a good friend and the guy who hired him. So . . . my husband got another job offer today and is strongly considering it. I told my husband to avoid being alone with him and file a complaint for the record, keeping in mind the fact that my husband has brittle bone disease.

It's so unfortunate. This guy was a great manager when he was on his meds. It was literally the ideal job.

On the other hand, the new job is with someone my husband knows and has worked with before. Another great opportunity so he got lucky.

That kind of manager is scary.

Sending good thoughts that your DH gets the job he wants.

This is why I'll just stay at home, work sucks.

Too bad. They say people leave their jobs because of their manager, not the company. Is this new job within the same company or somewhere else?

This is a tiny branch of a national company that is headquartered in a different state so there wasn't anywhere to go and my husband isn't permanent with them anyway. The new job is with a group that got into trouble with a government agency and is hiring a ton of people with unlimited hours (but at the discretion of the people) and they're looking for people who used to work for a company that my husband was with for ten years because their product is similar. It's actually a better move career wise and he knows a bunch of people there. The only real drawback is that it's farther away and traffic in that direction is a pain.
