I Found Your CV in the Printer Tray

oh? what was it

wait WHAT

omg no no no. please tell me nobody else saw it

thank god 😭 I'll come get it right now

…yeah ok

I'm just… looking. It's not decided or anything

please don't tell David. He'll make my life very difficult if he finds out

Look, I like it here, I really do. But I've been doing Senior Manager work for eight months now and I'm still on the same salary. I asked David about a promotion in January and he said 'let's talk in Q3'. Well, it's Q3 now, Margaret. He hasn't said a word.

yeah well. I didn't want to make it a big thing

They're growing fast. The role is properly senior, not just the title. And the salary is 20% more.

Second interview is on Thursday. That's why I was printing the CV — I was going to update it tonight but I printed the wrong version by mistake 🤦

Margaret. Did you seriously just give me the name of your old contact at Velta??

why are you so nice to me lol I literally thought you were going to be angry

that actually means a lot coming from you

okay I need to go pretend to be focused in this 10am meeting 😅 but thank you. seriously.

Margaret. I just got off the phone with Velta.

They offered me the job. Like… they actually offered me the job. I can't stop shaking. And — okay this is the thing — Diane told me that your name came up in the conversation and she said, and I'm quoting here, 'any colleague of Margaret's is worth taking seriously.' I just… I don't even know what to say. Thank you.

wait you called Diane for me?? I thought you just gave me her number!!

I don't understand. Why would you do all of that for me?

yeah… you're right. ok. deep breath 😬

I'm going to miss you Margaret. More than anyone else here, honestly.
