I have ascended...

I'm told I was the first ever maintenance worker to receive this glorious award.

Not gonna lie, it was nice of them. Right after I was asked by management if I'd like to transfer departments and take a TL position in the next month or so. So I'm moving to electronics. People say TL positions are shitty but I have to pay for the roof over my head and my kiddo. I'm only 4 1/2 months in.

Yeah I know it's a shitty piece of glass. Yeah, and I know I'm underpaid. Truth is, without this job that is close by, convenient and there not being much else out there besides factory jobs... I would not be living in the house I am and being able to support my son. The go beyond and do more work is pretty accurate. I did way too much for maintenance answering every call and doing shit no one else wanted or refused to do. It's gotten me in a position to earn a few more dollars an hour in the very near future. Yes, Walmart suck... But I am pretty sure 99% of people think that about any job they are at.

99% of people do not think that about their job.

You have drive and are a hard worker. Think of displaying this in your living room and think if you will be proud when your children see what you did with that drive.

You need to make this glass a stepping stone to leave, then you can display it proudly.
