The white envelope

January 22, I received the much awaited white envelope from our boss; if you are not one of us, you might ask what it is. Actually other department started giving it to their group last Friday; unfortunately our manager was not around last Friday. Our boss was only able to get with our manager yesterday; some of it he was able to distribute on that same day. This envelope contains the result last November performance review; it states the percentage increase that was given to you, stock option grants in accordance to your contribution for the last year and promotion from one level to the other. I was happy to know that I was promoted from associate equipment engineer to equipment engineer 1; being promoted means, another expectation and a lot of new responsibilities from the higher management for this new job function. I was not the only one that was promoted; in fact my husband was also promoted from equipment maintenance technician 3 to equipment maintenance technician 4.
