Thank you again for fitting me into your busy schedule. Mr. CEO
Not a CEO yet, but if and when I get there it will be in no small part because of my adherence, understanding, and respect for workplace protocol. Knowing my place, how to be the best I could be within it, and respecting the importance of proper management and communication.
Just a FYI, I started on the lowest level of employment possible in my company when I began so I am not blowing smoke here. You can disrespect me and my advice with snarky comments but hopefully someday you will understand what I am trying to tell you and succeed yourself.
Be well.
I was messing with you a bit. I'm sure you do great work in your field. I do appreciate your comments and the experience that you've shared. I was just excited about my idea and possibly about going over my managers' heads with it.
I already went above them both once. My supervisor told me not to contact the REGIONAL manager again. That doesn't apply to the CEO, right?
This company is big. It would be extremely difficult and expensive to get into the industry. I like the job, but I'd rather make a biiiiiiiiit more money.
So, with the money my idea saves the company, who should I talk to about a $16000/ yr raise?

probably should just mass mail the entire company. i mean its 16,000 dollars after all, thats almost $44 a DAY!

Nah, it's $16k throughout the entire company sadly. Yep, coffee costs too much. Gotta save. Well, not coffee, but something close.Without knowing the specifics, that $16,000 could be by location, and maybe there is 400 locations? That would add up and be worthy of being heard, however it also depends on the idea.
If it is simple as spend less on coffee per location then it will probably be dismissed all around. If he has reached out to a vendor and was able to negotiate a better deal that would save each location $16,000 yearly then that is something upper management should be aware of and willing to take the ball eagerly. Just as examples obviously...
His idea really needs to be fleshed out before reaching out to upper management.
I have never met any bosses above my supervisor and regional manager. I'll have to ask who is in charge of approving different supplies that we use. I'll ask IT, maybe they know who has authority to change camera models. My idea is to use a different camera for the day-to-day work.Silly question... but what is your idea that will save the company 16K a year? Maybe you should target your idea to a specific department head, and work from there.
If it's an IT related issue, send it to the IT manager. If it's a shipping related savings issue, send to the shipping manager... and so on.
It helps if any of these managers are a buddy of yours... that way they can send kudos to your boss AND your bosses boss without making them angry.
Don't email the CEO, email the CEO and their assistant. Thats how you get on the CEOs radar.

Have you already gone to your boss? Why not him first?
