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 !!

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

Company vehicle to the value of $50K - Have chosen the Mazda3 MPS....
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!!

Are we alllowed to ask who do you work for?

**tri boy** · 21st June 2007, 11:51

Well done.GG.
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.

Oh, I agree, the Ducati would be an excellent company ride. Will keep upper management guessing too.

Congratulations and well done! Good for you!

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.

#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...)
