Pros
A person works better in their chosen field, and gives 110% more back into company. Ever heard of a 'Happy Workforce?' Well, it's achievable!! I found that Management were the ones who controlled the purse strings and made all the decisions.What was the point of the 1 - 1 again? Hmm! Recognition and Rewards were good, but if some one shows 'hunger'' then give them a chance. I was excellent in the job I was doing, but wanted to do more in my 'chosen' field, which I found so difficult to even get someone to answer the door I was knocking on. Finally worked with a Manager who recognised my potential. I then became his PA and loved every minute of it. No one had been able to live up to his expectations, but I did! Had I had that when I first joined BT in 1989, I don't think I would have left. I am sure if I'd stayed, my then manager, would have helped me to get a step into my dream job! Thank you Alan
Cons
After putting in, and giving 110% back to BT, found that things took a looong while to get moving. Managers tend to 'hold you back' because they don't want to lose you. But they do, not in body, but in spirit. Then it just becomes a 'boring job' and not a 'get out of bed for' job. I know the boring jobs have also got to be done, but please, don't halt progression and career aspirations.
