Comment Ditch digger turned management (Score 2, Interesting) 763
I understand it can be a little strange. About 4 months ago I was a ditch digger (sometimes called a helper). I had filled this role for 2 years. Then all of a sudden they pulled me in the office to setup a new computer. I am now running jobs, dealing w/ customers and have about 12 people under me who used to be my supervisors. Its all kind of wierdgoing fromdealing with a shovel to negotiating contracts that are 50x my income. Just a little to weird.
