Current Events > Professionally, 2019 started awful bur ended fantastic #blogfaqs

(+) Yeah! (+)

The year started with me trying to find balance between finishing an awful project and looking for a new job because I could not stand, or trust, my then boss. The initial launch was expecting to be February, we ended up launching an incomplete product in late june. Then my boss "left" by August.

During the entirety of the project, I had told my then boss if I was going to stay beyond the completion of the project I wanted to switch from developer to management. Because this switch was a change from a c# project I knew to a Salesforce project I was learning and disliking every bit of. He assured me yes, yes, yes. But he also needed me or the projects would have been delayed at least another 3 months (to be in an equally as bad or worse position). So, with nothing signed and little reason to trust him I kept my options open.

After the disaster of a launch my boss "left", he was cto so people that high up never get fired, but everyone knows what happened. That boss during his year and half had fired or driven away everyone on my team but me. So, now we need someone to both lead the team...and hiring the team. So I went individually to the top 3 people in my company and told them I wanted the role. They had seen me recommend solutions that my now old boss would say no to. Seen that my ideas addressed the problems that we ended up having. So, they gave a new title on an interim basis and more or less said, ok fix it.

So I set about fixing the problems implementing the solutions I wanted to do originally. And over the last 3 months we went from disaster to stable. As a result my interim promotion is now official. And I'll have nearly doubled my salary to where I was last year.

My current boss is the CEO, we haven't hired a cto and aren't looking to hire one. As the role is effectively split between me and our it director. I'm also going to be getting a 10k bonus on Friday...though uncle sam is Gunna take so much of that.

Tl;dr went from worrying I'd be let go due to shitty boss to getting a significant raise and jumping forward a decade at least on my career path thanks to shitty boss incompetence.
