Ric has been "promoted." We still need to find out if this is a good thing. He has been transfered to another company owned by the same people with his other job. More recycling stuff. But this time, he's taking over after a bunch of people were fired for tipping the scales and taking the money. He is supposed to clean the place up and straighten it out, and the job would last for at least a year. The bads: it's in L.A., he won't have such a flexible schedule, he won't get to drive around here and there, he might need to deal with bums outside, he'll have to work more Saturdsays, he'll have to learn a lot more, and it might be difficult to fit in if anyone who's still there is harboring any resentment towards a new boss. The goods: No more business clothes, he is being promoted and after just a year - which shows how much confidence his bosses have in him, and ... he would get a stinking huge raise. I'm talking MINI, here we come!
But I don't want him to sacrifice his happiness just for a larger amount of money. And they told him that if he's miserable, he can let them know. But this really shows what a good impression he has made in such a short time and what a great employee he is. So, let's just pray that all goes well. He had to report to the new office this morning, and I really hope that he will enjoy it.
