A little while ago I wrote a post entitled ‘Work does, in fact, not suck!‘ - and I have to say that I am still in total agreement with my earlier post.
On Thursday I had my first appraisal in my new job…. and it went really well.
My boss said some very nice things and I was really pleased with how they see my performance so far.
However, that was trumped by what happened on Friday afternoon….
On Tuesday I was interviewed for a promotion.
I have only been with the company AND in my current job for 4 months, and while I had no doubt that I would be good at the new role, it was at the back of my mind that there would be more qualified internal applicants.
However, on Friday afternoon I was offered the job and was given some great feedback by my senior manager.
It is great to work for a company that recognises the work that you do and the effort you put in.
I hope to be there a very long time and hope that I can continue to do well.
Its weird, and yet not weird - I am enjoying my job!
I haven’t been able to say that for a long time.
