Persistance and being real pays off
Ok, little history, about 8 months ago I was working for a manufacturing company in SoCal for over 4 years. I resigned because I was relocating to the east coast. Long story short, I came back home to SoCal after a few weeks and just gut instinct that the situation was not ideal for me. It took two months before I found a job with my current company.
Last week got a call from their adminstrator requesting that I meet with the CFO and CEO and President of the US operation for a possible return to my old position with some added responsiblity. Yesterday I went and had a excellent interview with them; salary was negotiated and what not. Today I got the offer letter but with some talk over with my boyfriend, decided it was NOT in my best interest to return even with a salary hike. I already accepted the offer - what is a girl to do? He said in the long run I will benefit from staying with the company I’m with now. Before sending a decline of offer email to my previous employer, I went to my boss’s office and told her about my situation. She was so thrilled to learned I decline an offer for more money to stay with this one. You know what she said - She will MATCH it. Yes yes yes.
Then I called my old boss back and he said, I’ll give you an extra $3000 annually - I told him, whatever he offer my boss will match it. I just wished them the best of luck.
My boyfriend said good things come to those who wait and those who work hard. I’m so happy right now. Too bad it’s my off day form working out because I have so much energy and just ready to go go go.
Just wanted to share with everyone on this site. Hopefully my weight loss journey will be as successful as my employment.
Congrats! I wish stuff like that woudl happen to me! Unfortunately in the nonprofit world they don’t up the salaries like that :-). Hopefully once I finish grad school something like that may happen. Best of luck!
