Sigh...
Well I called yesterday to talk to my RTM (regonal tech manager) about a raise.
In the year and a half I have worked for this company I have had 4 differn't RTM's.
The first one was totaly useless. The second was the National tech manager who was filling in as our RTM while we were without one. She was great! first off she was the one who hired me. Second she is just a nice person. The problem was she had enough of her own work today that she didn't have the time to devote to the postion. The 3rd was pretty much the same situation. He was a nice guy and the one who made me a lead tech.
I guess they never really let him get all the way out of the job he was in before so he didn't have time to do the job right either. A couple months ago they sent out an email telling us that we had a new RTM. A former project manager. Really nice guy and one I have talked to alot. So to continue makeing a short story long I called him yesterday to discuse my pay rate. I got him on the phone and told him why I called and explained why I felt I should get a raise. Well he says I agree with you 100% and if I were your RTM I would be more then willing to see what I could do about that, but its been to busy and they havn't let me start the job yet becuse they need me as a project manager. I'm sorry but you need to talk to this other guy who is doing that job for now..............
(insert scream here)
LOL so now I have to go though this whole thing again with a guy I have never talked to before. yuk..
I'll keep you posted
