Long rant. Job related. Need to vent.
So I've worked for my company as an independent agent for the last 3 1/2 years on and off as an independent agent more so lately than ever before, and I got a temporary cross promotion as the recruiter for the London office. Now recruiters are on the head office pay roll, and get benefits and all that jazz.
Up until today I was really happy with the way everything was going, and was planning to move to London within the next month. I was thinking this is going to be great, I'll have deals coming in and my salary from my recruiting job and things are going to work out awesome, I'll be able to get a nice place with my girlfriend Britt, and save up some money too.
Well today this lady from head office calls me and is like I need you to fill out these forms. I didn't have my SIN card here, but I knew they had it on file in my independent agent file. I had spoken with the head of recruiting in Ottawa earlier this week, and the national who is based out of Kitchener who was my boss before, and our regional here in London, and none of them have ever made any reference to there being ANY problem with me both writing deals to help jump start the London office and make some extra cash on the side, and help build up points for the next trip(I just qualified for the last trip which is to Jamaica in April which is when I would be resigning as recruiter and a new girl would start in my position... the whole me quitting in April is an arrangement that my regional and I had from the beginning)
So any ways I call this lady at head office about my SIN number, and she's like "oh you're an agent too? Oh yeah I'm going to have to talk to some one about that before I can send you the papers"
Then I start having a bit of a trip out, because this could potentially because like a 1/3 of my expected income.
She calls back and says that I'm going to have to make a choice as to what I want to do. Either take the recruiting job and resign as an agent, or the other way around, because there is conflict of interest, because apparently I get info as a recruiter that agents aren’t supposed to have. In my whole time here, there has never been one thing that I have seen the recruiter get that agents aren’t allowed to know other than compliance about other agents and weekly numbers... Like that would affect me writing deals. How the fuck would me knowing that Joe Fuckwad got a complaint against them, or that the company wrote X amount of deals in the last week effect how/why/when/how many deals I write.
Now, that said, of course I want the recruiting job. Especially now that its winter. On the flip side of that if I resign, I lose my fucking trip to Jamaica which I've been excited for four months, and worked hard to get.
I'm so livid right now; I don't know what to do with myself. I seriously want to kick myself really hard in the ass for not calling someone else about my SIN number. If I hadn't called that bitch back, she would have never known and it would have been fine.
I called our liaison at head office, before she called back the second time, and he said he doesn't know what’s going to go on but that as far as he knows it would be conflict of interest, even if I'm writing under a different office, and handing in deals in a different office, but that he's heard of it being worked around before. However I highly doubt that now that she's gone and talked to the VP of marketing that we're going to be able to work around anything.
Fuck.
