After years of kissing old mens arses and playing "the game" I have finally achieved the heady heights of upper middle management.

Girlygirl - Operations Manager !! :yes:

With this obviously coveted 9 - 5 corporate type title comes the following:

Company vehicle to the value of $50K - Have chosen the Mazda3 MPS.... :sunny:
Credit card for entertaining suppliers and such like.
Waaaay better salary, which if we juggle it should mean we can start racing F3 on a shoe string...
General importance aound the orifice (note to self: must practice that air of arrogance)So yeah, I am happy and stuff, roll on the next 3 years and the move into Senior Management!!

Umm, let us know if upper management butt kissing is better or worse than middle. Hey now the juniors will have to kiss up to you.:hug:

Congratulations and well done! Good for you! :niceone:

Nice to see someone moving up - I've been going backwards the last few years. At 24, I was in charge of a staff of ~25, and 6 years after that, I was Systems Manager, and had doubled my salary. Now my boss is 19 years younger than me, I have no underlings, and I'm earning much less in real terms than I was 24 years ago. That's what you get when you don't plan your career, and just bumble along. I'm now in my eighth career, and have never used my degree. :weird:
#2 Son has NO qualifications, is in his first proper job (Systems Manager for an electronics company), and earns nearly as much as I do.
The vifferbabe earns nearly twice what I do. But she works too many hours of (unpaid) overtime because she's a sucker. (I work many hours of undertime becomes I'm a bum).
At least I earn more than #1 Son (next to nothing) and #3 (zip). Yay! I'm better'n someone! (even if I'm dumber'n'urglyer...)

Congrats! I think you should have parlayed the $50K company car into several cars or better yet... bikes! :whistle: But that's just me! :sweatdrop

Now, just watch out they don't restructure the job around you! :pinch:

funny you say that......:yes: we have loose plans along those lines/ part time work thing (and I'll get to spend more time at home with the farm animals :yes: :dodge: ) but mainly due to the kids getting a lifestyle change and not having to pay Gg's new child support ransom amount means we can make it happen so all good here

I am very proud of Gg's efforts to stick it out and get to this level, it's taken a few years, but she's a smart cookie and her efforts have taught me a few things or two about "playing the game" :yes:

Well done GG. But always remember, what The Man giveth, The Man can also taketh away.

This is why it's always good to aspire to owning your own business - then you can do all the giving and the taking away.

Look at Finn for example - he only answers to the tax man and that through an accountant so he probably pays less tax than me.....

Congrats GirlyGirl.
