As you know I work in a running store. Yesterday I got the news - I was not promoted to store manager. I really wanted this promotion, and it was a hard pill to swallow when I got the news. I got lots of encouragement though. I was told I am outstanding in customer service and sales. They want me to develop customer service training for our employees. It would mean working in both stores. My general manager pulled me aside and told me he thought I was one of the classiest guys he has met - I am all class.
While I appreciate the comments, I am saddened.
We don't always win. I understand that. You can't always PR in a race. The bottom line is I still have a job I love. Every day I get to work with runners. Every day I get to share my passion. So in the end I am not really losing anything. I have to focus on that as I get over this set back.

Oh, Charlie, I am sorry to hear that. If you are asked to develop this customer service training program, will you get a raise?
Most likely no. That is not how the owner operates. He sees it as development for a higher position....like manager.
