I made the card because I didn't think I'd get to meet her at all since they have her schedule so booked up. I was having anxiety thinking that my current boss was going to try and take credit for the supplies in her office. So on the card I just wrote, Welcome to the team. I put some supplies in your office if you need anything my extension is_____. Not too cheesy but to the point.
Oh, and P.S. when my current boss did introduce to the new boss she TOTALLY tried to take credit for the supplies so I'm glad I wrote the note. I'm so glad I stocked up on the the buy one get one cranberry juice sale to go with my Vodka!!!!
What a nice gesture! I'm hoping the transition goes smoothly for you and her! Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteSince I'm not living this first hand it almost has the makings of a fun soap opera/reality show. It sounds like your next few weeks will be entertaining to say the least. Hope the dust settles and all is well. Vodka and Cranberry Juice...that is a fruit...healthy (mentally & physically). :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
I am so hoping this works out for you. I know it's been so stressful.
ReplyDeleteI think the card is a smart move. It's not selling out, it was to the point and served a purpose (telling her you stocked the supplies!).
ReplyDelete*Hate* a weak handshake. I'm sure that isn't a sign of things to come. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI agree - I think the card was a good idea, not selling out, and very professional. So much of our careers is "playing the game" and you made the first serve. Good luck, I hope everything goes okay!
ReplyDeleteErrrr....I hate sneaky people that try to take credit for stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou last sentence about the vodka cracked me up!
I think you did good girl!!!
ReplyDeleteIn business you can't be afraid to toot your own horn. That card was a great idea and it made your point!
ReplyDeleteGood strategy with the card... just remember we're all here and we love you and we're on YOUR side!
ReplyDeleteI really loved your post on "firsts"... I hope you enjoy all of them, you earn each and every one of them.
Seriously - I want to strangle the old boss. Or kick her in the mouth. Either one would make me happy.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with everything...hope this all works out for you.
