I had to re-read my post and saw the error... Have to forgive me, I was tired... What it should of said was that store was good for about $700K annually... My salary is quite a bit under that - plus of course a portion of the profits made on positive sales turn ;)

I hope ya'll still think congrats :p :sign:

Congratulations Sam.

Your store (well, not YOUR store. It was the Tuscaloosa store) got me through my undergrad. They used to stock resistors, capacitors, etc, and a bunch of ICs. I was sitting in class one day in an EE 101 for Dummies type course, and the professor drew a circuit on the board and I thought it was too incredible to believe without proof. So, I drove to the RS store and bought a bunch of components, a breadboard, and a power supply. Ever since that day, it has been my passion. RS no longer stocks those items (you can still buy them for their website), but I've always had a fondness for the company because of how invaluable it was to me at the time.

It's great to hear about your promotion. :thumbs:


Incidentally, the circuit didn't appear to work! I asked my professor about it the next day and he said that he was "assuming" ideal wires and my actual wires had resistance! :angry:
 
Congrats Sam! So when did RS get into sellin' S&M stuff? :p

And what is the CP members price? :p
 
Congrats, Sam! Nothing like having your own store. Yeah, the responsibility that comes along with it is huge, but the payoff is bigger! Do it through your people, and your success, will breed their success. I just finished my visit with our Division President yesterday and what a feeling to ACE it. Now my DM wants me to work with the other Store Directors in town to get them to the same place I'm at, not bad for a rookie store manager.

Very cool, Sam. Now maybe added power/responsibility also brings on another stepup in personal living experience as well.

However, I'm still going to give Melly a lot of the credit just for keeping you in there to get this far ;)

Very awesome bud! I know how you feel - there is a lot of hyped up expectation for me as well even as a rookie manager, but a lot of faith out there from my DM, senior managers and mentoring managers and I am confident I will live up to it.
