I was promoted at work
« Reply #-1 on: May 08, 2014, 10:09:28 PM »
So I have been doing keys, locks, security systems, camera surveillance, boilers, HVAC, refrigeration, swimming pools, Indoor air quality inspector for several years. I was asked to Interim for maintenance supervisor until the supervisor gets well. It was a fiasco working this out with the union I am in and human resources because I am working both sides of the fence. I did not attend the last union meeting last Saturday because this was a topic. Afterwards our union business manager called me and said he had never seen in his career a 100% approval by members of a person moving up , I did tear up a little on the phone. My 286 co-workers like me I guess :)
Anyway, not only does the pay increase but I finally get to eat at the commissary for free. Here's my first free lunch. Pork with mashed tators and gravy, Salad with ranch dressing and a slice of lemon marange pie :) This week has been so stressful :)

That is great Key! I did 30 years at the phone company, 15 in the union and 15 as management. I loved both sides of the fence and always respected the folks I worked with on the union side. The American dream is to work hard and be recognized for it and move to something better. It is good to see they have recognized your good work.

Congratulations --it is times like that where you realize how much the little (or big) extra things you did for folks affected them. Even if it was just a friendly smile when they were having a bad day.
Congrats again and good luck.
