Thread: One hell of a boss

  1. #1

    Today was the day I have been waiting for for some time now. The day I could finally tell my boss I had other job prospects lined up and that I was going to leaving the company to pursue further interests. I did so and got a complete surprise.
    My boss is unlike any boss I have ever had. She expects more out of people then 99% of people can deliver due to this we reffer to her as "The Bull." Well today she totally redeemed herself. After telling her I wanted to resign I expected her to give me the normal routine and say "There's the door don't let it hit you in the ass on your way out, if you think you can make more money in todays economy then you just go ahead and do it." Not the case at all. She actually asked me why I wanted to leave and if there was anything she could do to keep me from doing so. I explained to her that I just wasnt having fun, didn't enjoy doing what I did and making less money didn't matter at this point. To my surprise she pulled up the company website and found a position for an indirect territory rep in the I.E. then told me to let her know if I wanted the job in the morning.
    Since my discussion with my boss I have researched the position quite a bit. Tomorrow morning her and I are going to send in a request that I be transfered to the position. The new job is basically a party because I'll be putting together contests, promotions, and be hosting parties for indirect dealers. Not to mention I still have the freedom I do now and not going to be stuck behind a desk all day. I'd be able to sit behind a desk all day but it would be a huge change from what I am doing now. The best part is that I wont be taking nearly as much of a hit in the pocket book as I was planning. Not to mention they are even going to offer me a decent relocation package. The company has a temporary hiring freeze that may prevent me from transfering until the end of the month but my boss has pulled strings before to get things to happen even during a hiring freeze so cross your fingers and pray that I will once again have a 909 area code (909 for now anyway).
    All I can say is that I am damn lucky to have a boss as good as mine. I can only hope that my new boss will even be half as considerate as my current. It's not everyday that you can work for a huge corporation and have a company that cares about your happiness just as much as they do their customers. The last 2 companies I worked for treated their employees as a commodity easy come, easy go.
    With that said who can I expect to see floating around Lake Elsinore? My little 19' dingy won't be seeing the waters of Havasu but it will definitely be spending some time on Elsinore.

    Well if all goes well and I can get your store I wont suck, however I might work a deal where RD gives hand jobs if you guys sale enough. Pretty good deal I think.

    F*ck no. I wouldn't load my worst enemies sh*t in a UHaul for a thousand mile drive let alone my own.
    Company is going to pay a moving company to move my stuff for me most likely. I'll be towing the Bayliner behind the truck that it smashed into a few weeks back.
