Ssssooo. Revisiting my job woes. Strictly speaking working in either Ireland or Spain... both have their pros and cons. But the details of those pros and cons is not the issue.
I've been crunching some numbers, and, just like I felt that my last employers in Ireland weren't being solid with me... I suspect my current one in Spain isn't either.
Basically, the way the department works, what they promised me, as was promised, doesn't make any sense. Because there are already two people doing it, here. And realistically speaking, you don't need three. Moreover, looking at the organigram the impression I get is that my role (and that of a couple more people in similar circumstances) is actually to remain as a polyvalent pool of specialists, to cover gaps.
Mind you, this is not a horrid fate and it's actually standard fare for young consultants in large hospitals. And they might make some token attempt to fulfill their promise insofar as providing me (more or less limited) experience in what they promised. I'm not going to run away all of a sudden. But I'll keep on the lookout for jobs elsewhere, both in Spain and Ireland (whenever the job market in Ireland defrosts that is. Things have been dry in 2019). Because I don't feel specially bound. I think I'll be here for the next six months under any scenario, and if they do some attempt to minimally fulfill their promises probably anything from a year to 18 months. But more than that... I'd need a good reason to stay.
