cblj_backupSo, on Friday afternoon, literally ten minutes before I left for the day, I got an email from Human Resources informing me that due to my position and/or title change, I would need to update my profile in the database.
I haven't had a position and/or title change since 2012, when I was promoted from receptionist to administrator, and while my surname is not super common, it's not out of the bounds of belief that they might get the wrong Sam. So I emailed them and said, hey, are you sure this went to the right Sam?
I got one sentence back: "You should check with your manager."
UH. OK.
So I forwarded the email to my boss with what I felt was far fewer question marks than all this deserved, and Friday night she emailed me back:
Sorry, HR got ahead of us! We’ll be meeting on Monday morning to talk about your new role. This shouldn’t be a complete surprise since we’ve talked about your goals for growth, and about the new business manager taking over some of your duties. It’s a good direction for you and the team. We’ll talk more on Monday!
Which at least is less ominous, if still hilarious. Only I could get a promotion and not know what it was for an entire weekend.
Anyway, the upshot is that we met this morning and I have been promoted from administrative manager to full-on Research Analyst. This is a huge jump in terms of my career and a huge compliment, and involves absolutely no more money whatsoever, because I already make more than an entry-level Research Analyst makes, but whatever.
Makin' my way in the world!
Also this means I can stop looking for jobs. Oh thank god.
