the problem with the point, is that other than maybe the other mods, nobody understands. why not explain since you made this public
In the beginning , I would have loved to have been given that chance but like I already posted, now its just
anticlimactic. I don't want it because I bitched about it or after a period of time where the thrill of it has worn off.
Atlas states that I have been a mod this whole time, but I can tell you that I have not been. I did PM him awhile back and although I didn't directly address the issue, I more or less hinted at it.
Let me tell you a story:
A long time ago, I worked in a place that recognized people with 'Employee of the month'. I know , it's silly but its relevant. I am/was a very hard worker and I was really trying to achieve this. There were actual perks that you received for a month
and everything. So as lame as it was, it was kinda cool. We had plant wide meetings once a month that covered general information and on occasion, these awards were given out. (There were 3 shifts, so a person on my shift may not receive on on a given month)
So anyway, the person is called up on stage, given an award and their production achievements were announced for everyone to hear, you were given a parking spot near the entrance, things like that. Not a life changing moment but someone at least
recognized you for going above and beyond.
So, as it turned out, I had won this award for January and I would have been given the award in the beginning of Feb. I don't know what happened since employees aren't even aware of it until you actually receive it but as it turned out, I was leaving to punch out one day
in MARCH and my manager called me over and personally presented me with the award. More or less just handed it to me and said "Good Job". Not in a general meeting, not in front of anyone, it was never announced and without me saying anything to anyone else, not a soul would know but her and I. I didn't get the parking space, because it was a month past , once again,
Anticlimactic.
I'm not saying that I'm a VSN God, because I'm just a person who posts here and always abide by the rules. I never complain, I never stir up trouble and I contribute what I can. There are plenty of people that deserve to be recognized in the same way. I cannot help them, I can only help myself though. I wish I was higher up just for that reason.
You asked what my point is, well the point is that once again, I was forgotten and for no other reason than history repeating itself, it angered me.
/End of pity story.
