Years of Experience Moving on up
4.5 years ago i fell into a small bread manufacturing company and started out as the new sanitation manager, and worked my way up very quickly revamping most of the place and ordaining rules and regulatoins which never existed prior (prior ownership was a mess) worked my way up to be the SQF Practioner and making 78k/yr, and had a generous boss at the time of whom gave me about 28k in bonuses over those 4.5 years.
Needless to say, Jnauary of this year, i was let go due to poor managing in terms of production of which i was unrelated to to, and we had a few contracts cancel that wouldve furthered out futuring growth.
I was given 3 months severence atleast. I know make $85k/yr at a smaller company with 3-4 days off per week to focus on my family and am very thankful of this since it is a further commute.
I am now in the process of creating a company to call my own and have a friend in another state working on a franchising deal with me. Growth is possible, keep pushing and know your worth for what you can do and contribute.
