Good morning!
A few years ago, I proposed to get a sales and promotions calendar for Customer Service to help improve the time it took to help customers. I did a local one and it was a hit, specially with the new hires because they hadn't learned all the ins and outs of the search system we use. I proposed it to the company, thinking “why can't we make this for the rest of the CS population?” and was met with “No, it's not possible, blah blah blah”. I let it go and once I moved on from Customer Service to other temp jobs in the company, gave the project to a coworker.
Fast forward 3 years, I log in today and see an email from marketing team. “Hey, we just spent the last 3 months working on this page on the internal wiki that can be used to search for sales and promotions and it's now live for the entire company population!”
My idea. IT WAS MY FUCKING IDEA BUT I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T POSSIBLE AND NOW SOMEONE FROM HEADQUARTERS DID IT AND IT'S OK??? BUT IT WASN'T BEFORE BECAUSE I WAS A CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT WORKED FOR THE COMPANY IN ANOTHER GODDAMN COUNTRY???
