Once ( six years ago)there was a man that used to sweep the warehouse floor.
It was soon recognised that he was good at his job(never lost a broom) and he was made Warehouse manager after three months.
The company moved to a newer bigger warehouse a year later and the lucky little man blagged his way into being made a Production manager.
Over time( a couple of years) he proved himself, worked hard and was very dedicated to the job, he worked long hours and many times over the weekends.He was not shy of sweeping the floor still or cleaning the toilets or even loading trucks.
The big boss soon saw this and rewarded him with his own office upstairs right next door to accounts and the directors office.
Well eventually the man got tired,fed up, disillusioned and had a brain fart and thought he would leave and go to another company.
Now the bosses were worried as this little man was very embedded in the company and knew almost everything about the company including sweeping the floors.
Our little story takes us to yesterday, two weeks from being at the comapany for exactly six years and after the big bosses overseas had scratched their heads and worried.
How where they going to replace this little man that had wormed his way in so far into the comapny and held all the little strings to keep things running smoothly?
Well they made me general Manager yesterday and I want to shout it to the world.
