Beloved of All
First I would like to thank you all for your prayers. I got selected at base safety as a GS-11 but I spoke with the safety director on negotiating my pay as a GS-11 step 4 instead of a step 1. The reason I requested a step 4 is because I know that’s how much I am worth. Meaning my skills and experience that I bring with me is equivalent to a step 4 instead of a step 1. All of the safety inspectors they hired last year as a 11 step 1. I personally assist in training them and teaching them all the codes and how to conduct a proper inspection even though I don’t work with them. Because I took time out of my own job to train them. Because I feel that knowledge is meant to be passed on it doesn’t matter where I am if I can help I will always help. Because I will never know when I need the help God will always provide that one stranger to help me when I least expected. I am a strong believer that God works in mysterious ways. So I expressed my argument in person with ### the deputy director. I told him, I just don’t feel right coming into base safety as a GS-11 step 1 when I have trained his GS 11 step 1 who will be step two when I transition over to safety; they will make more than me but I’m the one with the skills and experience. I would also like to please pray that I get the step 4 and be blessed with all the wisdom and knowledge to conduct my new position and help me excel in my career and to always put God first. I have a few weeks but would love to fight for my rightful pay as a base safety inspector. I trust and believe in the Lord that I will be starting as a GS-11 step 4, God I believe in the powers of prayers and I know without a doubt you will bless me with that. And I cannot wait to see it as well. Thank you for all your prayers I desperately need it. I worked my entire life to get a better paying career; it’s finally happening but it will be finalized once I get that step 4.
