After my boss had emailed me and asked me to meet him in his office after lunch last month, I wasn’t sure what to expect.
It had been a crazy few weeks at work up to that point and I wasn’t sure how my boss and the other higher ups had thought about my performance.
Luckily for me, it turned out they were very impressed and I was offered a promotion on the spot. The very next day I was able to move out of my tiny cubicle in the middle of the office and set up shop in my brand new office! It was so large and spacious, I was at a loss for words. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a certified HVAC repair tech who was busy installing my own personal air conditioning unit. For the past three or four years I had been working away in the cubicle area where there is little to no air conditioning or air flow which made working eight hours each day downright miserable. During my time in upper management with my own office, I can’t believe how much more pleasant working is when you have access to air conditioning and can close the door to your office for an hour or two for some peace and quiet. I think that some of my former coworkers are a little bit jealous due to me being their new manager and having my own office, but it is only going to make me work harder so none of them end up taking my position.
