Sooooo, I just got back from Calgary tonight and it was GREAT! I ended up working on the Thursday I got there, as well as today until I had to go to the airport - Didn't have a problem doing that as I got a free cab ride and 2 more vacation days added on to my total.
As usual, I busted arse and got a ton of stuff done - and it was noticed, and has been noticed for a while (I just didn't know it). I had wanted to talk to Randy about pretty much everything and I got my chance today.
We shot the **** for a bit and then got down to business. Basically what came of this was that
1. I am going to Vancouver in August to train people there when their cage opens. I actually suggested this, this was part of Randy's response and I quote "That's the best f&^king idea I never had!" So I'll be down there for a week, all expenses paid. Don't have a set date yet, but d00k gimme yer number buds. We're goin out for a wobbly pop.
2. My bonus is going to be "bigger" because I am showing initiative and doing so much work for the other offices. Randy has heard from multiple people (not me) about how much I have been going out of my way to help the other offices and he was very impressed.
3. If things don't shape up in the Toronto office, a couple people are going to get fired and I will get me a nice fat raise / promotion
This will happen in the next 3 months. I'm pretty excited for this, as bad as it sounds, but stuff isn't changing and I'm finding out the people there are more useless than I thought.
4. I am going to start taking courses to give me a better understanding of the business and all that. Randy's going to foot the bill.
5. I get to set up a meeting and have a lunch & learn with all the people from OPs to show them how I do my work and how they can speed up what they do. I'm already the fastest person with the best accuracy and Randy wants everyone else to be like me lol.
I might sound like I have an over inflated head right now, but between hearing all of that from the executive VP of the company AND the rest of the time at stampede and all the "fun" I had...oh man.
Reality is going to suck tomorrow
