So it’s update time. Me, I’m working at Bank of America and part time at Best Buy, which is working out rather well because I can get over time at BOA and best but only works me once every other weekend and I still get my employ discount. Liz is in school prepping for her masters and working part time at Yamaha. The Yamaha gig has gone big time in a weird way. Liz started there a few months back doing temp work, you know filing, answering the phone and general scut work.
Well a month or so ago they asked her to work with sales doing refunds. So now the sales people bring her the accounts that are buying boat engines and have a coupon or get a special deal and Liz updates their billing. Well she started that job when the lady that was doing it went out on sick leave for minor surgery. The day before she started Liz and the lady went over how to do the job and showed Liz the 6 month back log on her desk. The lady was out for about 3 weeks and when she came back Liz had all the accounts current and was delivering same day response to the sales department. Mind you the other lady was full time and this was her major responsibility and Liz working 15 hours a week had caught up a 6 month back log in 3 weeks. Well the sales department was thrilled beyond words. The lady who was doing the job before Liz got there was less than happy.
The sales department asked if this could be Liz’s responsibility going forward and her boss said ok. That’s when the lady piped up saying it was her job and not some temps and was told to sit down shut up and be happy she still had a job. So Liz is doing great and has her first office enemy! Ok so that was about a month ago and the sales department has since found out that Liz worked in a call center at one time and start asking her a lot of questions culminating last week with Liz being asked to help develop a script to be used by sales to gather information on prospective customers.
That was last week, on Monday Liz has a meeting with her boss and is told that they are hiring a bunch of Temps to make the calls and they want Liz to run the hole thing, that’s when she gets told that sometime in late February or early March her boss want to take her to lunch and to meet he District manager.
So she asks me how much money she should ask for…..
