Bryan & I are so blessed to work for two amazing employers who have been extremely understanding & supportive of us taking time off to be with Lucas in Boston. Bryan works for Element Payment Services. I work for Bank of America. Our managers truly care about us and Lucas on a personal level!
For the last 7 weeks, Bryan has been taking unpaid time off. Just last week, I ran out of vacation & sick time. So now, I am also taking unpaid time off. Now that the surgeries are starting to have more days in between, Bryan & I are figuring out a schedule so both of us can go back to work part-time. If only money grew on trees. Ha! Lucky for us, we both love what we do.
BTW – Even though I’ve been away on vacation for weeks, Marie Manha (my phenomenal boss) informed me of an Executive Recruiter opening on another team. She knew I would love to be considered for the outstanding career opportunity. So, I completed 3 phone interviews. Last week, I received the great news that out of the many internal/external applicants, I was chosen to fill the Executive Recruiter role! Stephanie Davidson will be my new boss and she is fully aware of and supportive of me doing whatever I need to do for Lucas. Wow! The Lord is so good!!!
Awesome! Nice to know there are employers who care about those who do the work, and their lives outside of work!
