Another "What to do?"

Tiramisu · 01-14-2009, 01:51 PM

Plain and simple: I do a good job. I don't rock anybody's boat. I keep to myself. I'm a team player. I give them my best. I take care of my people. I'm dependable. I'm pleasant and even fun!

The decision has always come back: "You're too valuable to let go." It's a matter of them being selfish to keep be over letting me do what I want.

That's tooting my own horn, but it's the only way I can say it.

Maybe you need to talk it over a little more seriously with them and let them know that this is really what you'd like to do. It's a compliment that they want to keep you.

Also, if you really wouldn't mind staying....then tell them they'll need to show how much they want you to stay....lol.

I have a "don't care" attitude today. I'll just sit here and play on the net, as long as they keep paying me.

I GET 17 DAYS VACATION + 5 sick days + 8 holidays this year.

Sandy, you need to do what's best for you, and if transferring will make your work more pleasant, you need to have a serious talk with Rudy and let him know that you appreciate his confidence in you and his recognition of your value, but you need a change and want very badly to transfer. And as Janet suggested, if he persists in saying your too valuable to let go then ask him to show you how valuable you are. "Show me the money", dude!!

You never know until you ask. That's how I got more money, and it's worked out nicely for us.

So hope all goes well and works out for you!!

By the way, your vacation benefits are awesome!!!! Of this I'm envious!!! We did have equal or better than you until the cut us back.

What kind of work do you do Sandy? If you don't mind sharing, that is. I agree with Diana. Have a really serious, assertive talk with Rudy. He doesn't own you.

Judy, I've been a "secretary" for over 38 years. That's all I've ever done. Right now my title is "Staff Office Assistant". I'm Admin to the Project Manager who reports directly to a Vice President. I also cover for the VP's Admin, when she's out.

Marilyn, I'm actually at the top of my pay class. In taking over the other group, I've been told that I'll get moved to a higher class, so that'll mean more money. I do plan to ask for a company paid blackberry.

I've pretty much decided to just go with the flow and hopefully get to retire in a couple years!
