• I’m Getting A Promotion

  A few weeks ago, one of my co workers had a meeting with the Big Boss (the one that bought me the sample bottle of perfume) and told her that he didn’t want to be a lead anymore. There were several things that were bothering him, and one of them was his pay. There are people making more than him that aren’t even leads…that shouldn’t be making more. So she told him that she would look into it.

  So she came to me today and told me that I would be going back to $14.00/hr. That’s what I WAS making, but with the 5% pay cut a while back, I went down to $13.30. I guess the leads aren’t supposed to make anything less than $14, so I really should never have received a pay cut. So in 2 weeks, my pay will go up again (and his pay will be bumped too). I think, since I should have been making that the whole time, they should retro pay me. I doubt that would happen, but I’m just saying, I think that would be the right thing to do.

  Anyway, the other thing that happened is that I’m getting a promotion! Well, I don’t know if it’s technically a promotion, because there’s no second pay increase involved. Our customer (that we work in their building) asked that our company create a position, and I’m going to be the one filling it.

  Basically I will be keeping track of rejected parts and getting them out of the building. We can’t get rid of these parts, however, until our customer gets us the information needed. So I’ll be the go-between for shipping and the customer, pretty much. I’m really excited to start this! I’ll be training in December, and I’ll start in January =]

  I won’t be a lead anymore, but that’s perfectly fine with me!!
