Recognition

My favorite thing so far today has to be that Jeff has received the recognition he deserves. After countless sleep deprived nights, 3:00 a.m. call, loyalty to the company, through 4 recent changes of owner, has been given a big promotion. I am uncertain what it will be titled, but he will have four teams under him and he has been goaded into a management position. Jay, the man he has trusted implicitly for years told him that this job was right up his alley EXCEPT that it was management. Jeff even suggested two others for the position. Yesterday he received a call from the person in charge of this venture, to say "Yeah, we interviewed the others and they are not right for the position. You are the only one qualified for this position. So after much cajoling, Jeff has in fact taken the position. He will transition out of his current position that no longer challenged him, or afforded forward/upward motility over time, and assume full responsibility of a new crew.

I am so proud of him!
