Just to give a little back ground, at the end of February I quit my job of 3.5yrs. I had had enough of the drama, the worry of losing my job due to layoffs, and major frustration of being placed in a position I knew nothing about let alone trained properly for over a course of 5 months. With the support of my husband, I went into work that faithful day on Feb 26th torn at what to do. Continue working there with no appreciation of what I had accomplished, no thanks for the hard work and hours put in and just being...well kicked around like i didn't matter orrrr say "Forget this job, I am better and worth more than this!"? So as we're combining our team and moving desks, I made the decision. I moved my desk and left my personal belongings packed. Typed a straight to the point email and hit send! Grabbed my belongings and walked out to go to lunch...never to return again. It was scary yet liberating to know I was standing up for what I believed to be a just cause. I was saying to my employer "You can't treat me this way and act like nothing is wrong in your organization or procedures. I was worth more!"
Fast forward to yesterday. After interviewing for a position I felt I was the perfect fit for and was my dream job with my dream pay only to be turned down, I decided to touch base with my agency and see if there were any openings with in the same company I working at now. I was told nothing and asked if I spoke to the On site Agency Mgr yet. Of course I had not because I did not want to limit myself to just one company. So today I go into my part-time job like any other day to do my work and being thankful I have a job of some kind. I open my email and see my messages, one of them being from my On site Staffing Manager titled "New Position". I'm thinking that's odd, so I open it only to read that they had a new position for me and wanted to know if I would accept. Excitedly I asked, "Full time hours?" She quickly responds, "Yes, with a great opportunity of becoming perm"...I was ECSTATIC! I hurriedly replied "ABSOLUTELY!" of course copied my husband so he could read the great news.
So the new position starts Monday, and luckily I am still within the same team and will be able to work with some of the people I have already gotten know while working there. I can not tell you how happy I am and thankful to be given this opportunity, not to mention that I feel appreciated that the work I do is noticed and someone sees my potential. Its one of the most wonderful feelings a person could ever have. My husband has supported me the whole time knowing I was worth more and encouraged me to take the steps needed to better myself and step up in my career. Thank you baby for everything!
So that's my good news for the day!
