Promotion

Turns out I am up for a promotion. Yes, the job that I have had for a whole 4 months, and despite many horrible HORRIBLE mistakes, has resulted in an honor fit for the best employee ever! ME! Or so the story goes…

I am told this is not the case however. It turns out that many of the other employees, some who have been at this job for over 10 years, do not want to get promoted, because you put up with far more crap for far less money then its worth. I was actually hired with the intention of management to fast track me into a managerial position because no one else would take it!

So the points of this new job are the following:
  • Small raise
  • Much more work
  • Ability to order people with 10+ years more experience then me around (in theory)



Unfortunately this means the dissolution of my carpool, as I will have to be moved to another shift. This means that the 'raise' will definately not be worth it, as I will have to commute by myself every day.

What Am I looking forward to with this promotion? A managerial job on my resume. Hurray.

Don't kid yourself! Management rocks! Put up with the hours for now and you will be in good in no time! :)

Eventually, most if not all management doesn't have to do anything at all.. at least thats what I'm aiming for!
