You put our minds at ease quickly when he announced that we had been awarded one of the largest sales contracts that the company had ever seen.
Did you ever have one of those mornings where everything seems to be going a little too well? This was the case last week when I was sitting and enjoying my morning coffee. I was watching out the back window as the birds landed on the bird feeder and thinking it was going to be a beautiful day. That all changed when the phone rang. It was my boss and he seemed to be in quite a panic. It was my day off so he was the last person I expected to hear from, however, he told me that he needed all of his employees to report to work right away. My first thought was that we were all going to be fired in the business was closing, but then I took a moment and realized that we had had a banner year and there was no reason for that. I wasn’t sure what the reason was that we were all being summoned but my entire ride into the city was rather nerve-wracking. I work for one of the largest HVAC distributors on the east coast and I knew that it must be important if we were all requested show up for a meeting. All of us arrived with pretty much the same amount of apprehension but the boss seemed to be in a really good mood. You put our minds at ease quickly when he announced that we had been awarded one of the largest sales contracts that the company had ever seen. He said he would be implementing mandatory overtime for much of the staff in order to meet the production and fulfillment deadlines. This was great news for the bottom line of the company and each of the employees as well. Even though we would have to work harder for a few months are paychecks would certainly be worthwhile.
