Also, we just received a status upgrade to our job, effective December 1st. A staff restructure had been followed by a review and update of job titles and descriptions for all staff. We ourselves had been fighting for ten years to get our job upgraded from non-exempt to exempt status, and we were finally successful in doing so. By expanding the technology component of our work, and clarifying the decision-making responsibility of our duties, we were able to convince management that the upgrade was warranted.

There was also significant compensation involved.

So, we'd like to celebrate, and we invite folks here to join us in celebrating.

Congratulations MD. You deserve a celebration for being such a reliable dedicated employee. I am curious re the gift but I guess you will tell us if you want to know. May the rest of your years there be worth celebrating as well.
