I have been lucky these last few months. If you ever get the chance to work in file custody, even as a temp, at a big company, take it! I started with very low expectations, at $8.50/hr, doing monkey work. After working in restaurants for the previous six years, this was so easy it was pathetic. I started with a great supervisor who looked out for me, and gave me a little more responsibility here and there, but not so much that I felt taken advantage of. Within a week, I was a (unofficial) team leader, but without the extra pay. But, since my duties were not unreasonable or difficult, I didn't complain. I didn't have to suck up or go out of my way to impress anyone (which I swore I would never do again). I just showed up every day and exceeded production standards (which isn't difficult considering these standards are for people who have just now mastered how to operate the drink fountain at Mickey Deez) and spoke my mind on all subjects on which my input was called for. After two months, a team lead spot opened up and my then supervisor (!) personally recommended me, saying "I've been trying to get you a raise anyway and I've been needing someone in that department I can depend on to cooperate with me." No pressure, right? Right! It turns out that these guys in my new department were lazy and slow, and their former team leader was buddies with these guys. My new supervisor almost immediately replaces half my new crew with young women who will work harder and with more initiative. There's even heavy lifting involved. But overall my new position didn't really require extra work, but it came with a $2/hr raise.

But like all good things, that project came to an end, and I assumed my job would as well, being temporary. Fortunately, I was kept along with nineteen others and was given one of two team lead positions. Our new project is starting soon, and I'm excited as hell.

P.S. I know it sounds like I'm bragging, I'm Sorry! If you want to flame me, go ahead. I can take it!

I can't come up with a tagline. Maybe WageslaveZ can help me.
