I work for a large corporation. I recently was moved into a higher role. I am over a few branches. My boss knows that I want to move up. They asked me today to help them with closing a location.
Afterwards, we went to a bar for drinks. This is out of character for us. We don’t typically do things like that. We have a distant relationship because that’s appropriate. The whole thing was still very professional, we just had a drink after a stressful day of letting people go.
He started telling me things that are above my pay grade. Started asking me about my goals. I found out that there was a shift in the company. He said he was going to submit me for the role. A lot of people who have been around me have been acting like they know something that I don’t. I can’t explain it. It’s just a feeling of, omg. This is happening. Everyone has mentioned EXCEPT for the one person who can actually make the decision.
I am so excited. I’ve waited my whole life for this. I am just worried that I might be getting too excited. Do y’all feel this is happening? Help!
