A Funny Thing Happened To Me On The Way To Work....

...more specifically, A Funny Thing Happened To Me At Work.

My boss sits down.  "Good job, keep up the good work."  Hands me a piece of paper.

Turns out I have been promoted.  To Vice President, Quality.

Wow.

I have been at this just over 21 years.  I started as a Research Associate 1, scraping labels off of bottles in a research lab. 

Of course, nothing is free.  All the responsibility is on me - but in reality, it always was.  And I have a great deal to do and be responsible for - but then again, I always did.

Vice President.  This is a high as I pretty much every figured I was going to reach.

Go me.

  4. Will you finally get pay commensurate with all your work? Or is this just a cosmetic change for what you already have? Just curious.

    Either way, Congratulations! :)

  8. All - Thank you very much. Really, nothing changed from what I was doing on Friday except (I guess) I am more responsible. The whole thing, frankly, makes me very nervous.

    The pay went up a bit, but another tranche is supposed to hit in three months or so.

    Oddly Enough, The Ravishing Mrs. TB Called it before it happened.
