Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Luckily, the career advancement thing isn't seen as such a priority here because we're a small company. Although I technically take instructions from various editors on each project, there are really only two positions in between me and the company's owners, and I'd neither be qualified for one of them in the event of a vacancy nor willing to take on that much responsibility.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One more call down. Now to the scary ones. In a minute. Maybe lunch first.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Every year during my review I get grief for not "growing". Why is being satisfied with your current position not acceptable? Especially since most of the people I've worked with have grown themselves right out of the company. No PC tech at our location has moved on to better positions in our company, they've all move on to better positions at a different company.
It almost sounds like they want to keep your self-esteem down so you won't get the idea to leave....
"You suck, and don't you ever think of leaving because on one else will ever love you." Or something.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well, if they want my self-esteem down, they've succeeded in this move to help desk with the re-org. Though it's making me consider doing the latter for the first time in the nearly 9 years I've been here, so I doubt that was their intention.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
If where I worked had any real interest in advanceing me - or anyone else in my position- that would be cool. But they don't. they made a new position- library assistant - so we could be on the public floor. There are a whole bunch of things that we could do to ease the burdens of the librarians, but we can't do any of it- except on the sly. So when it is quiet, we fold things to be mailed. or count things. Pages and volunteers do those sort of things. for a lot less money. I am somewhat bitter, because I was promised more. however, I never take my job home wioth me, I like the work( when I am not bored) , and the money is very good comparred to the stress level.
ps no library fines

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Whenever anybody asks me about my five year plan, I start giving grandiose speeches about how collectivisation will boost steel and grain production 11% year on year. If I'm really into it, I take off my shoe and start hammering on the desk.
Seems to do the trick.
