So my boss came into my office

My boss came into my office today to help me with a tough appointment I was having. We are going over the information and he was showing me what to do and then out of nowhere he looks at me and says you know I am really glad that you're here and I appreciate all your hard work I'm going to give you a raise.

I was completely and totally shocked most of the time I feel like I'm not doing a good job I don't know what I'm doing and I'm in over my head. I also feel bad about the special accommodations that they have to make for me because of my tourette's. But hearing him say that just overwhelm me and of course I got teary eyed.

It's hard to believe that I made it one year at this job and that I'm actually doing well enough for my boss to notice. I never thought this is something I could do and I'm glad that Joel pushed me to try it and do something different.

Fantastic! It was already clear what a determined worker you are in your home life, so it doesn't surprise me that you are also a great employee!

@Poppies that is so kind of you to say.

I think my OCD is actually worse at work if you can imagine lol. I go though a pad of post it notes a day to stay organized. I'm honestly surprised my boss hasn't made me buy my own yet LOL

Well, I doubt he's doing it out of the goodness of his heart. So, you must be doing well enough, too warrant a raise, unless it's a all company-issued raise and he's just putting a little bit extra behind it, to puff his ego up.

But yeah, good on you! 😊

@Levenrack lol no it's not company wide. I guess I'm doing ok but you know for sure. I knew nothing when I first started

Every company is ran differently, I actually don't want experienced employees, just learn the job at your own pace, very seldom is there a rush and when it does I normally farm it out
That’s wonderful ! You’re a hard worker and it’s awesome that they appreciate you. 👍🏽

@bijouxbroussard I never thought I could do a job like this because of my issues but I'm so lucky my boss works with me
