Tell me about a time when hard work paid off.

I belive in hard, honest, full effort work. I was hired into my company only three months ago, been working my *** off to learn everything and do the best job I can. I offer to work late, come in early, anything I can do. Last week I applied for a different position that paid more, knowing that I was lacking in experience, but not in confidence that I could do the job. My boss had me into his office yesterday asking me if 'd be interested in taking on some more responsibilities working with a senior engineer and taking some of his work load, I accepted without talking about a raise in pay. Today, I get called into the HR lady's office, they offer me a 75% pay increase! I was nearly floored. After filling out some paperwork I went to go talk to my boss. He said that after the other Engineering manager came and asked for his recommendation for the position I applied for, my current manager just couldn't let me go, so he decided to offer me a better deal.

Feels good to have people within the company fight for you.

I'm also getting good results from working out everyday. Ripped like Jesus.

 

CONGRAT'S Sounds like you earned it!!!!!!!

 

Holy hell! Congrats on that!

 

Superb. Good story that makes a change from the normal doom and gloom.

 

You got lucky accepting extra responsibility without a pay raise. Congrats buddy.

 

Thanks, it was something that really set my future with the company. I was wish-washy on if I wanted to stay there longer than six months. After this, I plan on being there for at least a couple of years, which is thier plan also.

But really, I want to hear about you guys' hard work and how it turned out to be totally worth it. Be it professional or personal.

 

Thats awesome man congrats, but the only hard work that seems to be payin off for me lately is the nut after ******* the gf. Fml
