Speaking of, my wife turned down a management position last year, right before covid. A position that was actually created for her. The Sr. Director told her that he wanted all of his managers to be on site 4 days per week, and she was having none of that. Fast forward 18 months and they have found a total of zero candidates qualified for the role. Her Director just told her that she's retiring at the end of the year, and wanted to know if she'd be interested in that position. I think we nixed that pretty quickly after talking it through; too much political BS, and she'd be reporting directly to the aforementioned doofus.

Anyway, they started talking about that other management position that was created for her, and I think my wife's going to meet with him once more to see if the role could remain 100% WFH, as her current role is. If so, she'd likely accept the offer, and would get a very nice bump out of it.

I took my current position in Oct 2019 and was selected for a management interview at the same time, but decided against it because the schedule required a bit less flexibility than the position i took. Looking back, I should've taken the interview because we've been WFH consistently.

Also my reaction when I found out I lost all my access 2 hours before I'm scheduled to be done.

Another one of my staff put in their notice. Had high hopes for this one, as she decided to get a Master's degree in our field - but the furlough and health benefit cuts were too much. Off to a state college library closer to her home, with a solid raise. Can't blame her, but it's going to suck around here until after exams in December.

Nothing official, but as our department "doesn't generate revenue for the university" the position is probably not going to be refilled. So it goes.

Can't wait to peace out of here. Not sure what I would've done if I hadn't taken/gotten the other job.

What's an appropriate amount of time to wait to reach out via email/phone about an interview? I interviewed last Friday, met with multiple people for over an hour, and even talked to one of the people about a different position if the one I originally interviewed for didn't work out.
