Michelle's friend that works at the company I have a few applications with responded to me. Said she sent my resume along to hiring managers, that it looked like I was probably a little over qualified for one of the positions, and asked if there were any others I'd looked at applying for.
Just responded with four more job requisition numbers. Two procurement specialist positions, and two senior buyer positions. One of the senior positions is a rotational position, which I'd love in order to learn a few different roles/sectos. I expressed that in my email too. Told her I'd be okay with taking a pay cut for something that I'm a little over qualified for to get my foot in the door with the company.
Hope this actually turns into something.

It’s always busy, but today I was surprised with having a trainee shadowing me.

they think this is a long term solution. CEO's comment was that my lead has now been working 12 hour days, and he can't be the only one doing that.... Yeah, so replace the guy who left, or promote lead to manager and hire someone else to fill a lower level spot on my team. Don't just expect everyone to work 12 hour days and come in on weekends from here on out.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 1:49 pmthis is acceptable for a time, but not long term.[user not found] wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 1:24 pm

You sure this isn't about not cooking rice under your desk? Don't want to burn the building down and all.

I would actually love that. Several people here now turn to me for meal plans and workout advice. If I could somehow make that an actual role here instead of just helping people for free, that'd be sick.

I did that for something like 8 months. I was promised a raise multiple times. When it finally came it was but yeah that shit gets old super fast. There were 3 of us that got moved up like that "temporarily" and without pay adjustment.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 1:49 pmthis is acceptable for a time, but not long term.[user not found] wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 1:24 pm

I guess I didn't learn a damn thing though, as I'm now managing 3x as many people for 3% raises.
I love the thought behind the quote doe.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 3:49 pmTrue luck is rare. What many might call luck is really generosity.
I'm definitely not going to teach my son about luck.
But it exist and some people benefit from it in their professional lives.
But luck only pays off if youve put yourself in the position for it to.
