A guy I used to work with had a 2 year degree. That pretty much capped his progress "per the rules" but somehow someone somewhere figured out that the 4 year degree wasn't important given his "on the job" education, classes taken at work and drive. He made it 3 levels above "stop here if you have a 2 year degree".
Well boss lady seems like she’s grooming me to take over as controller at some point. Or quasi controller. Cause she’s gotta control lol.
But yeah. It only works when you’re already at the job. If I’m applying for anything at anywhere else....heck I only got this job cause I knew the girl who used to do my job (well. Back when my job was 20 hours a week, payroll and ap for our two big material suppliers lol)
