Job opportunities

[HH3]

Not desperate. But putting the feelers out again.

Looking for a job where my work ethic is rewarded at least a little bit.

Right now, I'm the Operations Manager of the company I work for. Worked my way up over the last 6 years (Storeman >Driver>Internal Sales>Accounts>Purchasing>Operations Manager). My promotion was rewarded with a payrise of roughly $3k a year, which in the grand scheme of things, isn't very much.

The only way I can be promoted now, is if the owner retires again, and I am made General Manager (which will probably happen at some point). Even then, for the added responsibilities, and stress, I can't see a scenario where I would be paid what I would be at another company.

If anyone is looking for someone like me, or know of a position opening up somewhere, let me know.

Your work ethic????

Seems to be pretty average of you ask me.

It appears you are full time on here!

[HH3]

Mate, look at it this way.

SAFooty is on my screen all day, and I still get enough work done to leapfrog 5 other people (some sacked because I took their workload, and saved a wage) to get to the position only trumped by the owner.

Myself and @Booney are obviously great at what we do.

Well if you are looking for other work in your current industry my advice is to go and visit them with a resume in hand. Personal visits to companies show enthusiasm and initiative.
However if your industry is small you probably don't want the boss to know....but it could work in your favour. May get another increase as your boss will recognise that you are a valuable employee

I have applied in my industry, but cant really resume drop when i work from 8 til 5 every day.

Surely you can 'just step out of the office' or tell the boss you will be a little late a particular morning

[HH3]

Not really when I am the office most of the time

[mighty_tiger_79]

That doesn't help...

[HH3]

Like i said, not desperate. Just looking around to see whats out there again.

The Land of Promise is always advertising for more strippers.

Go and ask for more money?

Go and ask for more money?

Done that a few times. The next try will be in a couple of months when I have some track record as a manager.

Do they need fluffers?

[Mickyj]

Well at least you've been promoted not certain how much longer I'll be employed
Basically 21 years and a bit same job
Done the odd different thing but no

Does raise the point stay or go
Me no idea how long I'll be off

Firstly, I'd think am I staying in the same industry ( most industrys are pretty incestuous, once you're in it, you're in it ) or am I going to go into a different "field".

For you, it would be looking at being an Ops Manager in another industry, is that a possibility? If it is, seek, jobsearch etc, get that CV out there.

It it's staying in the same line of work in the same field and you don't have a contract holding you back from joining a direct competitor ( like many people do ) then I'd be bold and approach your biggest competitor. See what they say.

I would however, in the very first instance discuss with your GM the possibility of wage increases or even a bonus structure for KPI's met (DIFOT etc) . That can be good for both of you, you get extra funds, he gets measurable efficiency increases, he sees you do your job well, you can then talk wage increase + bonuses.
