Matt.Cross Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 "You'll be taking over the Site Manager's job!" That's what management told me Tuesday morning when I came in to work at a plant where I was loaned out all last week because their silo operator was on vacation. The site manager got sick on the weekend and I was asked to come in and work in his place Monday. Tuesday morning I walked in as a mere peon and walked out as the site manager. NEVER SAW IT COMING! I figured there would at least be some intermediate step or something, but NO! I can't even figure out what their thought process was... Boss: "Hey, was Matt there in a timely manner this morning?" Boss' Assistant: "Yes sir, right on time." Boss: "Oh good, just make him the new Site Manager then..." Boss' Assistant: "No problem, will do." Seriously, WTF? Has this happened to anyone else?

Matt.Cross Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Thanks everybody. Considering what I usually think of management, I'm not sure if I should feel insulted or just enjoy the perks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texas30cal Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 In the machine shop in the factory where I used to work we had this hung over the door, and we still got our raises! We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful, we have been doing so much for so long with so little, that now we can do practically anything with nothing.

I can come home late every night and look at all my new toys and think about how much fun it would be to have time to shoot them.... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Congrats Matt. Now you have to get pissed off at yourself....try to pull your own head out of your ass.....ask yourself "what are they (yourself) thinking?"......and talk yourself into working late, while promising that it'll come around to you someday.
