Job update...

Good evening! Wanted to give you an update on past blogs about me applying for another position within my company. Today it is official. I have decided not to apply. I talked it over in depth with my wife, struggled with the decision for quite a few days, and in the end decided that the salary increase did not outweigh happiness and future growth within the company. Please allow me to clarify...

The role I am in is a basic role, but it is a role that allows you to grow and to learn. As a matter of fact, there is a position that will be opening in the very near future, and it is a position that I am striving to fill with my own little body. By accepting the first position, I basically take a path away from the one that I am on. I do not wish to do that. It would be fine now, but it would hurt me later on. I have spoken with a woman I work with, who I also consider a very dear friend, and she is also in the position I would have been applying for. While she is disappointed that I will not be working with her, she is glad for me because she sees what I can become, and by taking the role available to me will take me away from that. So, I'm still a CSA, still working with chilled, frozen and ice cream products, and tonight I am relaxed and happy =)
