Could'a been one of the worst/ most stressful days of my life today...

Sooo. A little over a year ago I got promoted to manage this poop shit ass branch of nada with the hopes of making it somewhat profitable. Long story short, I made it work, only firing one person, people were actually happy working for my company. My key: pay them, help them, support them, let them blow off work 1 day per month, more if really needed. No requests would have to be made through HR for said blowoffs. I took a cut in my pay... kind of to make this happen. I never managed before I just did it the way I'd like to be taken care of. Numbers soared, branch profit went up, I did pretty fuggin OK.

So, there's some newb that has come in and said he can do all that I did, plus some, without giving up anything... even adding to the company's bottom line. I found out via EMAIL that this will be taking place 2/1, and I'll be relocated to a part of the company that I'm not familiar with. Kind of doesn't matter because I'm confident with my abilities. I'm just so fucking mad. I did really well last year, made my company a lot of money, turned a low producing branch into one that is in the top quarter in the region. I feel betrayed to be honest.

Oh... Some old lady backed into my car this morning and broke the headlight casing or some shit... She didn't have insurance and I told her not to worry about it. She was old, etc. $2K for that shit.

Icing.

That was more of a bummer than anything. My Nana is on a fixed income. I send her money. No way I'm making someone's Nana pay for a damn car when she may need arthritis meds.

It's just a kick in the nuts, followed by a rug being pulled out from under me, topped with an RVP that's too chicken shit to tell me a damn thing. Livid bro.

Bro. I started with 4 people that produced NOTHING, that hated the thought of waking up and coming into work, and had people decorating their offices, coming early, trying to have office nights out... shit like that.

I'll do it. I'll kill it, I just really have a lot to lose. I don't and won't talk about $$$ on the board, but it could mean a shitload to me.

bro, our livelyhood means alot to anyone of us....none of us would take this lightly...i know your world all too well. i live it vicarously thru a close female friend of mine who makes the tall dollar also. i did it myself. it must make you feel good tho, to have helped so many people enjoy their lives for a change and making your work place something that people took pride in...that says alot about you, IMO...
