I am the “Alberto” of Encore….

This is going to be more than you ever wanted to know about my job. Everyday, I work from a list of customers that need credit card equipment installed and/or re-programmed in order to use my company’s services. I think a good day for anyone is to complete at least 8 of these work orders. When I worked at my old company [FAPS], I was the supervisor of a group that did the same thing and that was a good goal for them too.

I had an employee there, named Alberto, who was my highest producer [and a great friend] who was consistently completing 8 or more a day with many days in the double digits. I think some days his co-workers resented his abilities but the bottom line is he came to work each day, sat down and worked. A fairly straightforward process. Well, now I am the “Alberto” of Encore, my new company, because I am consistently averaging 10-11 a day while my co-workers have developed an irritation with me. By lunch time, they ask, “How many have you done Tracy ? 20 ?” Of course, I laugh and tell them no, just 5 or 6 but I somehow find it amusing that I am now getting the flack that Alberto always got just for coming in, sitting down and working.

What’s the big deal…..it’s my job.
