Matt.Cross Posted October 6, 2013 Report 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 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.
unforgiven Posted October 6, 2013 Report Posted October 6, 2013 That's the difference between backaches and headaches. I'd rather have the backache,but them Im not very bright. :))
EasyEJL Posted October 6, 2013 Report 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. so long as you are getting manager paycheck, you can probably learn to live with it :)
unforgiven Posted October 6, 2013 Report Posted October 6, 2013 If you were able to live on what you made,you got a chance to save alittle with you'r raise.Just sayin.
texas30cal Posted October 6, 2013 Report 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.
Microgunner Posted October 6, 2013 Report Posted October 6, 2013 Congratulations. Do we have to call you sir now?
Matt.Cross Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Posted October 6, 2013 Congratulations. Do we have to call you sir now? That won't be necessary, LOL.....

Matt.Cross Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Posted October 7, 2013 Lou Gehrig? Tom Brady? Congrats. Now you can buy more AR308 stuff, right? Yep! 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
Rsquared Posted October 7, 2013 Report 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.
