We had worked together on a project. And then she went back to hq and everything went back to shit. So I quit. Got a job at staples. The Friday of my going away party I get a call from her admin freaking out.
“We heard you were leaving”
“Yup”
“You need to come to hq”
Got on a train that lunch. She offered me a hq spot.
Then for the next 3 years she was my sole and biggest advocate in the organization as she moved up to two positions below the Postal Master General and then took a downgrade to be area VP.
She signed off on my green belt and black belt project, put me in for numerous promotions and awards and even gave me some personal advice on reconciling with my sister.

I’ll never have anything like that again professionally. It helped so much.

Older white lady from Delaware. Came up as a carrier. Didn’t care about much in life except getting the mail to the people especially vets. There had been huge improvements on veterans mail for years solely because she relentlessly cared to make it happen.
