Anyway. I've worked as a lower level care manager for this company going on 4 years now. When the pandemic hit, it was obviously incredibly frightening, as the individuals we care for generally have a variety of illnesses that make them more vulnerable to all types of disease/illness.
At first I was a bit paralyzed by fear. (Just check out my early posts in this thread) But I eventually pushed through that fear and decided I would put all my energy into ensuring we were keeping our clients as safe as possible.
We were very successful in doing so. I worked tirelessly ensuring proper care was provided and policies were followed.
Apparently a lot of people took notice because I was offered a very lucrative promotion today. I was praised for my work in general, but the incredible attention to detail in keeping our clients healthy and safe was also mentioned during the meeting.
I will be stepping into the role of branch manager starting within the next month or so. This comes with a lot of responsibility, but also a very, VERY nice pay increase. I didn't realize I'd ever make it to a place with a bachelor's in social work where I'd be making this kind of money. And I'm not stopping here. I'm motivated and determined to keep climbing the ladder.
I'm happy.
