every day that goes by it feels more and more likely that I'll get this promotion and I can't believe I'm at a place in my life where that's even a possibility. like last year I had just the absolute worst time with employment and just had a horrible year in general but I feel like I got so lucky finding this job. except they felt lucky to find ME. like the hiring manager told me she was so happy to have multiple candidates and that I was easily the best out of the group (she's had to hire people out of desperation/only having one candidate before and they never worked out bc they weren't good fits at all) and my confidence has skyrocketed since I started working there because my boss and coworkers treat me like an equal even though I'm young and relatively inexperienced. they treat me like they believe I'm capable and competent and it makes me feel capable and competent and it's incredible. the idea that I could be getting a promotion for the first time in my life after only 3 months at this place is insane but I'm so hopeful because nobody acts like it's a far-fetched idea. I'm taken seriously and it gave me the confidence I needed to actually say that I'm interested in that promotion and that I know I'm capable of doing that position. plus the company itself is great honestly, I feel really lucky to work there. even as a part time employee at the lowest level I feel genuinely important and appreciated. I've already met the person who would be my boss if I get promoted and she seems just as respectful as everyone else. are all employee-owned companies like this???

#I even earn commissions on top of my regular pay too like. and I'm allowed to accept tips which you'd be surprised how often that happens #way more frequent than I would've guessed #anyway I might have a post soon that's actually celebrating instead of just rambling about the possibilities #or I might have once about how they hired someone new. it wouldn't really make sense for them to do that but whatever #even if they do there's every likelihood that the new person quits after a month or two and I have the opinion #opportunity* again #I can see them deciding to hire someone with more experience in management. but if they went with me they wouldn't have to hire anyone new #and they also wouldn't have to cut anyone's hours #speaking of which! they were planning to cut my coworker's hours before the new manager quit #like. they were gonna cut the more experienced guy's hours instead of mine??? we both open a lot but they'd rather have me there than him??#which is insane honestly like they totally could've just invented a reason to fire me if they wanted to lay me off and not pay unemployment #so I'm more desirable than him??? which is crazy bc he's good at the job #but yeah if they promoted me then he could keep his hours and they wouldn't need to replace my position at all really #it would all balance out really nicely and probably save the company a lot of money honestly. bc I'd take way less time to train #obviously I can already do register and all the other parts of my job. but I also have a good foundation for the manager's duties too #bc I paid attention when the last manager was being trained. plus I've been trained on a manager thing already which is cool #so yeah I'm just. hopeful. it makes the most sense for them to promote me. but I'm not gonna celebrate prematurely #I won't be devastated if it doesn't happen but it would be the best outcome #plus it would kind of turn 2025 into the year of the promotion for my family lol. my dad is expecting to get promoted in the next few months #his boss just got approved for a home loan so he and his wife are gonna be closing on a house in less than 30 days #and it's in his boss's contract that he has to live on-site so he won't be staying unless he can negotiate a contract change. not that he #wants to stay anyway. he's been trying to find a different job for a while now and doesn't want to still be there for the summer season #so my dad would get promoted to that job which not only would be a huge pay increase plus a move from hourly to salaried #but he'd also get free housing as part of the job! so his expenses will go way down and income way up #the extra duties aren't that much either. he'd just be taking on the administrative duties on top of what he already does #plus being on-call (which is why he'd live on-site) but that really only makes a difference for like 3 months of the year lol #he'd be like doubling his income #which actually. wow if we both got promoted our household would suddenly have a 6-figure annual income. what the hell #I can't even imagine that. wow #wow this tag said something else but I reached tag limit lmao. if you read all that hiiiii let's be friends <3
