They trust me

they really trust me. My friend and I are stranded at work waiting for a ride, so the boss said he'd wait around so we could wait inside. I jokingly told him to just leave me the key and head home. Sure enough he did. That's kind of a good feeling knowing my boss trusts me enough to leave me the key to the center. My friend is actually, technically "higher up" than I am(I've been here longer but she got promoted sooner. We're equals, but seniority wise she's got me), but he left me the key. Wow......

 

thats great. must be a great feeling.

 

Dang, them people are CRAZY! LOL

 

Yeah they are. I've got a minor felony for (grand-I think) theft. All of it was electronics too, and they leave me virtually alone with $10k+ worth of computers and dialing equipment. Wow. I mean that seriously touched me that they believe in me that much.

 

the more you prove yourself as a hard, dedicated worker, the more trust they will have for you...

 

Even if I was the best worker in the world I wouldn't have left me with those keys if I were in there shoes.

 

well they did...are you gonna live up to what they think you're capable of, or what you still think of yourself as...

 

What they think I'm capable of. I'm not that guy any more...... 6 months ago, I would've made a handful of phone calls and had three large trucks roll in. That thought never crossed my mind tonight. Not even the "I bet I could"...which is usually how it starts.

 

thats good.

its hard to change, but you've seem to have done it. and people trust you and give you more responsibility because they think you can do the job.

i've definately had the same thoughts, as to why i'm being trusted so much or why i have been given more responsibility. but i know i've changed, so i don't worry about it...

 

Good for you for not even going there in your head, that's awesome. More responsibility/trust is pretty damn cool

 

Yeah it is. It really helps me feel better about myself at a time like this too. Heh, I mean I just put in for a leave of absence today for my jail time and they still gave me the keys. Makes me smile when I think about it.

 

Time to get some more responsibilties, or pay, if ya ask me. You've obviously proved you're a hard worker and can handle it.

 

It is only a matter of time before they put me in charge of a campaign. I can feel it. They've given me more authority and responsibility than other staff members that should have seniority over me. In my position I should have no authority at all, as nobody else did in my position, but for whatever reason they've chosen to bestow it upon me.

 

my thoughts exactly, in dead seriousness!

 

My work ethic and my personal life are seperated, completely. They know who I am outside of that center, and they know who I am when I walk through those doors every afternoon. I'm strictly business inside that building.

 

Bloody Thread just get deleted?

 

Which one?

 

Well just make sure they don't take advantage of you. You know what some employers can be like (I'm sure you know whther they'd do that or not), they give you heaps of the responsibility because they know you can do it, and think they can get out of paying you more or giving you the credit.
You must have an awesome work ethic.

 

Not generally, but I've found something I love. There's so many people who follow me because I'm good at what I do. I mean it's amazing to coach somebody on something, watch them make a sale, and comeback going, "Wow. That really worked thank you." The biggest issue is they see that I've got great ideas and implement them well.

I highly doubt I'd get passed up for a reasonable promotion for even an employee with more seniority. Right now I just have to wait my turn. I could get people fired, but I'm trying to be nice about it and let things run their course.

 

i saw that.
