That is just a difficult thing from both points of view. If you are on the schedule and can't make it in for a couple of shifts that could cause a lot of problems for others.
Maybe they are just trying to take some pressure off for now and promote him back up when the time is right.
I am so happy they successfully brought their baby into the world. :) Cheers
Well you're right it is possible that they will give him his old position back soon. The only problem is that they promoted the guy beneath him...... and they can't exactly take that position away from him either unless they just want to be cruel........ I'm glad he's able to just be happy about the baby though. It's really a cool thing..... and a it's giant baby created from two extremely tall people.
