baronessekatBeen back to work now for 2 weeks.
We are making progress in getting back to a resemblance of normalcy. Though we've all had to redefine what normalcy is.
The construction is finally done in the front hall. Walls up, ceiling replaced, pretty color on the wall.
Today I was given a promotion. Basically my job has not changed except taking on a little more from the Interim GM. Stuff he used to do that he doesn't have time for. So it's more of a title change than anything, though we don't really have titles here. After all, when you are a company of 8 people titles just get in the way of getting things done in the day to day minutae of life. Though titles help when you are talking to folks on the telephone trying to placate them/beg for extensions/get them to shut up. I'm Operations Manager/Director of Operations. Does not come with any pay change... yet. Maybe in 6 months when we prove to the BoD that we are viable and functioning we can all get pay hikes.
The only concession I got was a change of hours. Instead of 8-5 with no real lunch break, my new hours are 8-4:30 with a kinda lunch break. Being salaried means lunch breaks are kinda fluid. That's fine with me. My hours were actually something that was one of the list of reasons I was going to start looking elsewhere when I had my one-year anniversary. But right now the only thing that I have any issue with is not the job's fault. I'd prefer to work closer to home. But the oppressive feel of the office, the hours, the unreasonable expectations and requests have all changed. I just wish a good woman did not have to die for it to have happened.
