Re: Need advice - Starting new mgmt position...
So just an update. I spoke with my new boss about other onboarding knick knacks that have to be done, paperwork etc...So I popped the question in a very casual sense... Keep in mind that my main reason for this whole discussion is my curiousity really needed to be satisfied, because on the surface placement of subordinate and mgmt seemed unusual. Anyway, in casual conversation I brought it up as
"so...tell me what's up with so and so getting one of the offices on the mgmt wall? Was there some leadership role they are involved in or was there just no other room?" I said this with a smile in my voice and stressed the ...
I'm just curious tone. So the reply I received was very casual and not argumentative at all. Basically the room is inferior due to size. The room was an afterthought after the other two mgmt offices were constructed. The nicest part of the room is the window overlooking the lake but the positives stop there. There was also a security drop down that wall to secure some sensitive scanning equipment, and for whatever reason, that wall was best for the drop.
In short, I'm good!
My curiosity was satisfied and I'm glad I asked. It would have urked my curiosity too much not to get an answer. Start date is set, notice given to my current employer, I'm ready to get in and get my hands dirty (so to speak
)
To top it off, the new boss indicated that another mgr may be willing to switch offices because they are not in the office all that much due to travel and the natural light is a turn off for them. Boss said...
"let's see how things go." That means let's see if you're worth it! LOL. Cool. I'm up for the task, but regardless I'm blessed to have this opportunity. Thanks to all of you that took the time to talk it out and challenge me. Very good discussion.
Thank you,
