General Discussion / Admins 4 Admins / Not happy with a promotion
|

I was promoted / transferred to a new department in a different area/division of my company. My previous department was dissolved and most of the people moved into different departments or left the company. After a month I still really miss the old job. I miss the people, what I did and the relationship I had with my boss. I had a job I love and now I have... a job that pays the bills. I know I should be grateful to be employed but I can't help but feel a bit .. deflated. I think it is I felt appreciated in the last position where as this one the management doesn't show appreciation. I put in 10 hours a day and feel that is to be expected, not that I am working to better the company or my job. I guess I want to feel that the extra work I put in is at least acknowledged that I am putting in extra effort. Anyone know how to feel better about moving from a job you loved and actually liked coming to work to a job you count the days until your next day off?

General Discussion / Admins 4 Admins / Do you ever do anything really stupid?

This morning I was typing up a semi important document for my boss and before I proofed it or even finished it I accidentally hit send. I tried to see if there was an option to take it back but there isn't! ARRG I am feeling stupid, I sent a quick email saying sorry, "I accidentally hit sent and you will get the final, "real" version soon." All I could do was apologize. Do I tell my boss I did that, or just see if didn't matter and i am thinking too much about it. There was nothing bad or confidential, and the finished document was sent 20 minutes later.

Marie summed it up very well. The only difference I would have is contacting the sales rep first. I think it doesn't matter just really present how it can be a win/win situation.

I created a word document with all the same questions a paper employment form would ask and typed in all the answers. I don't give this out, but it is nice having all the questions and answer thought out and right at your hand. Dates, what you want to say (given the space you are allowed) about each job.
There usually are questions that are not covered in a CV or resume. I know they want to know many times your reason for leaving past job, get a sample of your writing, are you able to follow directions when filling out a form. As much as it is a pain in the patoody, I can see why it is done.
