I guess it really does work!!
I realized tonight, when GM's dad cussed him out for not telling his mom that he's been offered a new job at work, that we haven't really told anybody. He's VERY excited though because it's what we've been hoping for and asking Heavenly Father for. (I must admit that I didn't think it would just fall in his lap like "The Secret" and Carol Tuttle seem to suggest. I thought we'd have to go out and look for the job that he wanted.)
The things that GM really didn't like about his current job:
• BORING
• The general feeling (inside and outside the department) that their department contributed nothing of value (identifying the mistakes made by loan officers in the loans given by the credit union)
• Whiny employees with petty complaints about each other
• Other employee issues that aren't fun to deal with
• Not investigating or in any way dealing with fraud (which he very much enjoyed about his last position)
Well his SVP decided to change the purpose of his department (which confirmed every body's feelings) to be Risk Analysis. In the midst of their discussions they decided to also create a Fraud Analysis Manager. This position would be independent (no pesky employees), a lateral position to his current one, and involved with fraud prevention. They asked him to write a proposal for the new jobs/departments and submit them. Then they told him that before they posted any of the jobs they'd let him pick which one he wanted. He really did weigh the pros and cons and study it out, but in the end he picked the one I thought he would. I'm so happy for him because he really hasn't liked his job ever since he's had the "Loan Review" position. So we've been praying for him to find something new, and he was on the verge of telling them that he's had it when they offered him a job that he's excited to accept!!
Then to top it all off he wasn't supposed to get any kind of a raise with his new position (since it's lateral) but he talked them into one after all!! Serendipity!! :)
