So I just finished my 1st week as manager. I think I've been doin a pretty good job so far for somebody with no prior managerial experience. I am surprised at myself. I can't believe how easy it was 4 me 2 adjust from being a regular employee 2 being manager. I went in with an agenda, a confident swagger & an attitude that said "I'm here now, I'm going 2 make shit better & I will not fail"...so I guess they had no choice but 2 give me my respect. Most of my employees are pretty cool. At first everyone seemed to be a little intimidated by me. But once I explained 2 them that I am a normal, down 2 earth person & that I am really there 2 make everything better for them & to make sure they all grow in this company, they warmed up to me much more. They even gave me my very own nickname (everybody has a "ghetto nickname" they go by at work) so I guess I'm officially apart of the crew now. No major blow ups yet...but I kind of feel 1 coming on with the chick who wanted my job. Apparently she's been with the bank longer than I have & she's applied 4 my position twice & has been turned down twice. She feels she has seniority over my other employees & therefore feels she's entitled 2 do whatever she wants & 2 make her own schedule. Well she may have gotten away with this 4 the past year or so but her rude awaken has just entered the building!
I am pretty excited about this transition. I mean it has affected me in so many ways. Not only has it made me a better, stronger & more confident individual...it has also forced me 2 take my job more seriously & really focus on making a career 4 myself in this industry. Oh & did I mention my new wardrobe?? I have taken my Classic look 2 the next level! My boot game is kind of on point right now if I do say so myself. & I really should post a pic of my 2 houndstooth bags I recently cop'd....absolutely to die for!
But seriously I am so proud of myself and the Dots. We have come so far and we still have so much more in store. So stay tuned!
Later!
