#im still just processing that i actually got promoted bc thats never happened

[shleemies]

Got promoted at work today! I knew they had their eyes on me for a promotion but the circumstances were kind of unfortunate. My coworker with the position found out that the raise was less than she thought, and that's after they screwed up her payroll big-time last week and only paid her for 2 days. So she's transferring back to our old store as an associate bc it's closer to her house and honestly an easier store to work at. So my manager came up to me right after they talked and was like you're getting promoted btw I was like oh okay 👍. And to be fair the raise is kinda shit lol it's 30¢. But to my knowledge it's more or less the work I'm doing anyways. I've never gotten a promotion or a raise before so I'm pretty happy about that. I've only had shitty bosses promise me raises for months and never follow through. And I know they've been wanting to promote me already bc all the higher ups I've worked with really like me and recognize that I work hard. I had a coworker 2 days ago ask if I was a manager because she said I had that vibe about me LOL. I was like no I'm just some guy. Still not a manager but I am a shift lead. Still so worried I'm going to burn out but uhhhh I'm doing well at this point 👍

#ive been working here less than 2 months #i really wanna share more details about like what ive been doing but i dont want to like dox myself? #the details would be specific enough you could find the store if you knew what state i live in which i think ive pretty opening talked about #fuck retail and all that but i like the place i work #and most of me working harder than some of the other associates is definitely the autism ocd and hypervigilance lol #i simply must make sure everythings right or else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #you know how it is #im still just processing that i actually got promoted bc thats never happened #idk maybe the new position will suck we will see lol but ill give it a shot i really dont think its that much more work
