Nah, Master, there was some shady shit going on behind the scenes that I wasn't privy to until after HR dropped the ball IRT to hiring you. They fired the Controller, and the GM apparently has one foot out the door, mainly based on his repeated SNAFUs when dealing with employee relations.
Beeper? WTF is that? Are we back in the 90s? Because I'll straight up ROCK some Vanilla Ice pants if we are...
If you're referring to being attached at the hip to the company, I've had worse. I get the occasional text to handle some admin shit when I'm not there, and I have had to cover for my counterpart on days (they work the front half of the week, I work the back half, and we overlap one day) while they were off on a recruiting trip. But outside of the peak retail season, I generally work four days a week. And the compensation is pretty damn good. Not to mention the top cover, which is on par with or better than all but the very best COs or OICs I worked for in the military.
Compared to my last job, where I was writing the equivalent of an 8 page paper at least once a day to cover the company's ass in case the FDA ever came calling, and basically being the hatchet man for the entire site (everyone else was too chicken shit to fire anyone), this is awesome. Seriously. Plus, I get to travel if I want, walk between 12-15 miles a day, and get to sponsor hourly associates to advance on a regular basis. It's also an incredibly metrics driven environment, which crushes a lot of the gray area of performance evaluations.
