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.

Love to hear it! Congrats on a well deserved new opportunity!
