    My dudes... one of my coworkers who is currently in the position that I want to move into sent me a message today and told me she was leaving, she got another offer with another company for more money.

    I have been waiting for this position to open since I started here, wouldn't take any others even though several slightly less desirable positions have opened since then. My current job is the best preparation for the job I want so I have just been crushing it an biding my time.

    My whole management team knows I want this job, in my last review they said they would recommend me for it if it ever opened.

    So now the question becomes are you going to give me this new position and still allow me to relocate and work remotely, because that has already been approved.

    There is no reason that I need to be in an office, we have offices all over the country and many remote workers so it isn't really a stretch that they would allow it. Plus I would travel a fair amount, about 20-25%. Go get to see big customers and help them with implementation.

    It would be a huge bump in salary which would help so much right now while I'm trying to save money to move, cause my car is a beater and I just put 1900$ more into it.

    Fucking being able to move to where I want, be closer to my woman, and a 15k - 25k bump in salary. Yea that shit would make this one of the best years I've had on the planet

    This, if I stayed at the Sheriff's Office for the supposed promotion as I was next in line when I left in 2014, I'd still be in the same position as I was now.

    I don't think it will go that way, these particular positions they usually fill from within because they require so much specific knowledge you could only really gain from learning about and supporting our products, and I am pretty cheap labor as it is haha.

    Thanks though haha. I tend not to get overexcited over things that haven't happened yet, used to getting the rug pulled out from under me.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Ask if she's already put in her 2 weeks or whatever, and if so, start the conversation with your boss. Ideally with her present. It still may not be a guarantee, but if they're prefer hiring within and everyone else says you'd be a good fit, I don't think that bit of initiative could hurt.

    Thanks for the advice. She told me today that she already has, her last day is 6/14. I planned to talk with my assistant managers on Monday and ask who I should speak with to make my interest in the position known. I think I know already, just trying to follow chain of command so no one gets butthurt.

    They usually send out internal emails for job postings like this and that hasn't been done yet, might not be done until she leaves but it certainly won't hurt to talk to the manager of that department before everyone else gets a chance to.

    Also congrats Ksandra, that's a nice win!

    Got a wedding invitation from a sexual assault victim in one of my old cases. Fucking crazy, she was 15 when no one believed she was raped. I then got the confession from the subject when the local police wouldn’t even bother with the case. She’s now 21. God I feel old lol.

    We're all that age. If we started playing XI around NA release 16 years ago at the ages of 15-20, it puts us right in the thick of it.
