[Eugene]

(Since you're on, that news of your job deserves some serious congratulations.)

 

[Chase]

Congratulations, @Claire Yeon. Really happy to hear that. How are you celebrating at home?

 

[Chase]

These guessing games... some days, they get solved in the blink of an eye.

 

[Claire Yeon]

(@Eugene and @Chase thank you. It's been quite a journey. I'll spare you lot the agonizing personal details, but I will say that I'm glad the effort I've put in is being rewarded. Fortunately, I am also being recognized by the "right people" in my company, for my sales results as well as my commitments to employee wellness. It is extremely gratifying to know ones efforts are acknowledged.)

 

[Chase]

Sounds like you love this job.

 

[Eugene]

(So, quick question for everyone here. I'm working on an application for another company. I'm in the good graces of quite a few managers at my current company that I have previously served under. Would it be inappropriate to ask one of them if I could use them as a reference?)

 

[Eugene]

(Don't spare us the details @Claire Yeon. We like stories here.)

 

[Claire Yeon]

I don't have anything meaningful in my life outside my job, so yes.))

 

[Chase]

Depends on the relationship between the two companies @Eugene.

 

[Chase]

If they're competitors either directly or indirectly, might not be wise to ask a manager to be reference.

 

[Eugene]

Completely different industries.

 

[Chase]

Then viable.
