You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
エジプトでお世話になったPMをわたしの会社の支社長に紹介した。
I introduced my former colleague from Egypt, who had worked with me, to my current branch manager.
というのも、先日の勉強会にて、先輩の進路について話があり、今年定年退職されるとのこと。会社としては、再雇用契約を結んで、引き続きエジプト案件を引っ張ってってほしいとのことだが、本人としては、もう戻りたいという。
During our weekly study session, my senior informed me that he would be reaching retirement age this year. Although his company has offered him the opportunity to continue working as a project manager in Egypt under the reemployment system, he expressed his desire to return to Japan.
なので、場合によっては、転職も考えている、という話だったので、であればと思い、わたしが会社に話をしてみることを提案したのであった。
Considering the possibility that negotiations with his company may not go as planned, he mentioned that he is considering changing jobs. In response, I offered to introduce him to my branch manager.
支社長は、わたしの話を親身に聞いてくれた。ただ、会社としての、今後の理想像があり、それと先輩は少し離れているので、難しそうであった。
My branch manager attentively listened to my introduction, but he explained the current situation at our company and described the ideal candidate they were looking to hire, which slightly differed from the qualifications of my senior. I sensed that it would be challenging to reach a contractual agreement.
To be continued.
