I've been Promoted! (And my manager is evil)

Post by EeyoresButterfly » Sun Aug 16, 2009 9:46 pm

I was at Worlds of Fun today working at the Patriot. When I got off work (four hours later than scheduled), I was told to go the manager's office. I assumed it was because of an incident with another employee that had happened earlier in the day so I was not concerned. I got to the manager's office and he called me in. He said he would let Candy (The woman who shares his office) leave before the yelling started.

Now I'm concerned. I was not involved at all in the incident today although I did witness it, but I was wondering if somebody had told him otherwise. So he asked me in a very serious tone of voice, "Do you know why you are here?" I told him I assumed ti was because of the incident earlier and he asked me what happened.

I described what I saw. When I was done, he said, "Thank you for telling me this. But this is not what I wanted to talk to you about." He then proceeded to tell me they had been watching me. At this point I am trying to think back to anything I might have done that would warrant being in trouble, but I couldn't think of anything. I was starting to panic!

He then told me they like what they've seen and think I will be a good Assistant Lead. So I am now an Assistant Lead at the Spinning Dragons Complex! I thanked him (after telling him how evil he was.) When I left the office he told Candy and the secretary, "She didn't cry." I guess it's kind of a ritual they have. I told him I came close to crying to make him feel better. LOL

First of all, CONGRATS. I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago. My superviser tells me the owner wants to see me,(of course I'm wigging out),it turned to be all good though.

Very nice! Congrats! You know it's because you take being a Cast Member into a place where they don't care if you're a Cast Member... though your manager does when he sees it!


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
