Title during probation? Assistance please

[jstevo]

Dear All,

Having worked for a company for 18 months, I was promoted to Operations Manager - on probation for 6 months. Can I please ask two questions:

1. I handed in my notice 3 months into the probation period as I didnt like the new role.
On my CV and LinkedIn, I have put "Operations Manager (3 months)".
My old Director has emailed me asking me to remove that from LinkedIn as I "refused the position" - My view point is that I accepted the position, I just didnt like it. However, I was promoted.
Any guidance appreciated.

2. Having been promoted, is it usual to be put on probation for 6 months, even if the role is essentially the same as previous.

Kind regards,
Jamie

Not sure what your director means ,....you accepted the post worked in the post for three months....then Resigned....you still worked in that post for three months on probation or not....I would ignore him!

Thanks Lowry. I was hoping to ignore him! However, I do need him for a reference.

I'm going to email him back on the lines of politeness, saying I accepted the promotion, however, decided to leave the company. My title upon leaving was Operations Manager.

Hope that sounds alright.
