I am promoted after 2 days at work!!
unbelievable
triple jump!!
my boss’s boss
i.e. the big boss’s secretary post
has been vacant
no idea for how long
so basically
I moved to sit
within the distance
she can just call me whenever she needs me
that’s exactly opposite her office
sort of like a part-time secretary
oh man
this is the most strategic seat
among the sea of staffs in the whole office
before and after the “promotion”:
(i) front view
before: a satellite TV which is on from 9-6, with remote control although it’s not in my hand
after: boss’s office, what more should I say
(ii) rare view
before: a partition wall, a managerial level lady sits there, she has got her own TV set. We are parted by the wall, she can’t exactly see me but I can always see what she’s watching. Basically I’m a blind spot
and sometimes if she happens to tune in to the same channel as our shared TV, I can watch the muted TV program with subtitle front and listening to audio from another TV right behind
after: well, sea of staffs who I have no idea who they are or what departments are they from
(iii) side view
before: another fellow rookies, entered 3 days earlier than me, she is kinda cute and the other side is window
after: the entrance and printing area
basically this is the first seat every single person can see
whenever he or she walks in
(iv) entertainment
before: of course the TV, some gossips around especially the bunch of girls nearby, their jobs seem quite stress-free, earphone can be plugged in too
after: no nothing, except a Smurf Village under the monitor which I harvest on hourly basis
(V) job scope
before: pretty much fixed: content-design-for-staff-communication, social-media-feed, digital-monitoring, weekly-TV-program-highlights
after: on top of all of the above, what a secretary normally does, i.e.: emails, phone calls, coffee, newspapers, etc.
well surrounded!!
just like a well
and my bosses can pop in to check out
basically everyone in the department are above me
