All good news today

Posted by Tyler Kinch on 16th March 2006

Well let’s start at the beginning. Today at work was our first day on the phones (our training group.) Our trainer told us that he pulled some strings and that we will be getting our first raise in two weeks!

The company I work for does a raise based on evaluations and shows us clearly what our raises will be. So every three month our wage can change. If you get 100% on your evaluation (Which isn’t too hard) you will get the top wage. But if in the next three months you get 99% on your evaluations, your wage will go down. So you have to keep on working hard. Normally they require us to work half of the three month period… but we got lucky!

That means that in two weeks I could be making $5.18 more per hour! So I’m getting quite pumped for that, studying the procedure manual tonight.

Also, I got some good news from SAIT (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology) I knew that they would start accepting students on March 1st, but I hadn’t received anything from them and I was starting to get nervous, so I called up customer service. I guess they just sent out an acceptance letter yesterday! They had only accepted 20 out of 25 spots, and 17 people were on a wait list, and I was in the acceptance! I was quite happy and I’m sure the operator on the phone could tell (As she seemed pretty happy for me too.) So I paid the deposit right away….. That takes one worry off my back.
