I just got told about my raise and bonus for the year.

So after being layed off at a company I worked at for 20 years, temping for a year and a half, being a full time employee for about 9 months now....

I now make more than I ever have, with a nice bonus and a 7 minute commute. The company encourages a good work/family balance, discourages travel to minimize our carbon footprint, gives up to 3 paid days for charitable events (sponsors Habitat builds and Boys and Girls club activities) and truly values the diversity of the employees.

I think I will go back to work and earn all of this!

Sounds like a great place to work. Consider yourself, and I know you do, very fortunate.

Not enought people enjoy what they do, who they do it for, and how much they get doing it.

I am very, very, very, very happy for you! I love it when things work out right.


Now, get back to work and invent Skin Shrink.

Sounds like your layoff happened for a reason. Congrats on the raise and bonus! Woo hoo!

Your company sounds too good to be true, christie!

The CEO isn't Hank Scorpio, is he?

This is the vision I had for you when you were so worried.

This just tickles me pink.

I like happy endings.

Fabulous news, Christie!

Makin' lemonade......all day.

Well, at least she can expect the Denver Broncos to show up on her front lawn if he is.

Homer: (reading Hank's letter) "Project Arcturus couldn't have succeeded without you. This will get you a little closer to that dream of yours. It's not the Dallas Cowboys, but it's a start. Drop me a line if you're on the East Coast, Hank Scorpio." (a whole football team is on his lawn) Aw, the Denver Broncos?!
Marge: I think owning the Denver Broncos is pretty good.
Homer: (disheartened) Yeah, yeah.
Marge: Well, explain to me why it isn't.
Homer: (sighs) You just don't understand football, Marge.

Simply fabu - and well deserved.

Cool to hear how things worked out so well.


This is a nice thing to post for those, BB and other, who are going through a tough time such as a layoff now.

Well done, Christie!

This is great news.

And, Congrats christie!!

I know firsthand about how "bad" work news can end up being better than expected.

The long road just makes us appreciate it more when we get there.

Sorry I came to this late, but

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!

I had a similar bumpy road to the present job that I love.

If your company manufactures consumer products, would you care to mention which ones? I like to patronize companies that have good values.

Love,

Catfish, I sent you a PM.

I'll give all the other BB's who don't know, I know alot of you do know...

I recently couldn't play for prizes in the Bertolli or I can't believe its not butter events since they belong to the parent Co.
