If you have been following this blog you know that my work life was in the process of change. You also know how I felt about how I might get there, meaning who got hurt with my promotion, Tonight the issue was resolved, and though it slows things down for me I am quite happy.
I got one of those 2 sided questions " Do you want the good news or bad news first?" Since I like to savor good news I replied " bad news first." The bad news is I am back to what I was doing being a regular Dual Rate supervisor for a while. The good news was worth the set back, I would not be replacing someone who we all clearly loved and admired. In no way did I feel good about raising myself up by losing Rocket man.
He is the heart of Swing shift, everyone loves him. It was his temper that started the ball rolling down hill.
After I was told the news I ran into him, gave him a great big hug and told him how glad I was to hear the news. I meant every bit of it too. I see no honor in moving up by stepping into a friend's shoes. I would like to be considered for merit and not just availability.
I was told that my helping out when I was asked to was a good thing. I'd like to think keeping him on was a much better decision for the whole team. So yes, right now I am quite happy to wait for an honest and warranted opening to move up in my future.
hugs and g'nite
