I realized that what was making me feel like utter shit about work was that it was awful in two ways: 1) I was not getting a raise and 2) I put myself out there by asking about it, making myself vulnerable and then got shot down. I think the branch manager just assumed that I would quietly take the job and be too chicken to ask questions about the salary if she didn't say anything about it. If I hadn't asked, it would never have been communicated. Fast forward to yesterday afternoon when my new boss (the really nice guy) calls me and asks me to stop in. He tells me that on Thursday night, the branch manager stopped by his office and SAID SHE FELT BAD about what happened. The upshot is, my boss was approved to give me a raise and I'm getting a 4.8% (!!!) raise, in addition to the $1,000 spot bonus he already agreed to give me. So I didn't put myself out there for nothing.Labels: work posted by Miss Rachel 2/14/2007 09:43:00 AM . . .
