At Work

I work for a big multinational company and no I do not want to reveal the name of the company. Let's say that I am quite fearful about work people reading my most intimate thoughts.

Now back to the post. At work, I handle the activities of a big account as an Asst Manager and am responsible for its sales. Above me is the Main Manager who is responsible for this account's profit and loss. A new directive has come about and no longer can an account have two manager's handling it.

So I have been asked to be the Main Manager for 5 small accounts. For most this must sound like a promotion. Even DH thinks that way. But when I have been handling a big account, to be given the complete responsibility for five small accounts is not exactly great news. Big Boss (BB) has asked me to think about it. She thinks that this is my chance to get out of the shadow of a Main Manager and be a Main Manager myself.

To be quite honest, I do not know whether this is good news or not. I guess I am indifferent. If I refuse to accept the Main Manager's position (of the five small accounts), the company will have to demote me to a Field Supervisor's position (of the big account that I am currently handling) which is a step back for me.

For the time being I have said that I would consider the position of Main Mgr. While all this was being discussed at work, BB also mentioned that there was a position in Dubai for which I was being considered.

Because I lived in Dubai for a long, long time out of which I worked at this very same company for 5 years, my company thinks it is a good idea to transfer me back there. Oh yeah, I would agree to it provided they comply to my only request - double my current salary!! DH thinks that I would get this position in Dubai and BB thinks that I might get a call any one of these days asking me whether I would consider moving.

Anyway let's see....
