I've never tried buying anything from E-bay b4

Houston's football team is sooooooo bad right now, i only watched them the 1st season b/c one of my friends was a texans cheerleader

Very cool.

I have never bought anything from e-bay either. But I know someone that bought a bunch of tickets from there.

OK I have a question.....has anyone ever given their boss the old "If I don't get promoted I'm out of here!"?

No - Because I can't go any higher. Unless he makes me a part owner.

 

[trappednabox]

oh! GOOD FOR YOU!!

 

[Mom2Ashli]

I have worked there for 17 years.

But if you say it, you better mean it. Or else they will never take you serious.

But if you feel you deserve it, than by all means make sure they know you want it and feel you deserve it. Before you threaten to leave.

WOW! That's a long time! I've been at my job almost 5 years & I don't feel like I'm going anywher!! They just promoted someone in our department for the 2nd time & she's only been there for like 2 years!! I want the job she left, it should have been mine to begin with!

Yes, in a nice sort of way. I had an offer in another section and so I was contemplating leaving, so the promised to try and match it so I would stay. The next time they moved me up on their own so that I wouldn't look elsewhere. The only part of playing that game is that you have to be prepared to leave and have somewhere to go. My boss at that time could have easily told me "good luck on your new job" and that would have been the end of it

It took me everyone of those years to get where I am. I don't think I would still be working there if someone else didn't leave and open a place for me.

I mean it!! I didn't say it yet, but I talked to my manager yesterday b4 I knew she was getting promoted & I told her I wasn't happy in my position. I LOVE what I do, but I need more! I get pulled out of the flower shop to do so many other things, I help everyone out even though no one helps me, & I've never been in anykind of trouble at work b4. My boss tells me all the time that she loves having me there, but still no promotion! Yesterday she told me, if there was an open position, or a way to promote me they would do it. Now today there is a way so I went to talk to her again. We'll now I feel like she's giving me the run around!!

I thought about that too! But if I have to leave I want to go back to school. I was planing on doing it next year anyway. If I have to leave it will just make it happen sooner then I thought

Maybe start showing an interest in the job and if it is open right now, try to offer to do some of the responsibilities...so they see that you can handle the job and that you are sincerely interested.

I thought about that too, but if they see they can get me to do it without changing my title or giving me a raise, they just let me keep doing it! I've seen them do it to other people b4!!

I got my christmas stocking name

Than tell them that.

If you can afford to go back to school without this job, then you should definetly look into it... but look at all your options really well...like medical. If you have medical insurance from work, where would you get it as a student?

Tell her again you feel you deserve the position.
Than go from there.

There you go. Than do it. If it doesn't work out, you go back to school and become the Teacher you want to be.
