How I Found Opportunity In A Bad Situation
2 years ago my company decided to downsize
This meant that 5 out of 20 people on my team
Were going to get cut
2 years ago my company decided to downsize
This meant that 5 out of 20 people on my team
Were going to get cut
I was the last one to get hired on the time
I only had 10 months on the job
I thought for sure I was one of the people locked in to get cut
Lucky for me my boss called and said that my position was secured
But I had a different plan in mind

Lucky for me my boss called and said that my position was secured
But I had a different plan in mind
Because of the cuts
They had opened up a temporary window for everyone in my position
Where they were waiving a clause that didn't allow us to apply on another position for 2 years

So I told my boss that I would be open to moving up in the company and leaving my position to one of my colleagues
Best move I ever made
Best move I ever made
A few weeks later I was offered a position as Regional Director
And the best part is
I didn't even apply or interview for the position
They just offered me the position raise and all

What set me apart from my colleagues?
When they had their heads down trying to protect their positions
I had my eyes open looking for opportunities
