Well, it's official, as of Monday, I will be a supervisor of Security at the site where I work, in charge of Graveyrd shift.
This might not sound like a huge deal, but... it's my first time as a supervisor. My immediately bosses (And no co-supervisors) have a great deal of confidence in me, and pushed for me to get this position, but my lack of experience in security AND supervisory duties makes the upper management nervous, and they've mandated the site supervisor switch to my shift and basically handhold for a week or two. It was the deal he had to strike to keep them from kiboshing the promotion entirely.
So, I've got a double shot of nervous. One, because my bosses have such high expectations of me, and second because upper management isn't sure I can do the job.
So, any words of encouragement?
