The manager of the Key West Key Lime Pie business is Tami Forbes. She looks after her 8-year-old twins at home and makes $300 per week.
She worked as a bartender twice weekly to help pay the bills and ensure her boys wouldn’t miss anything.
Tami knew it couldn’t be good when she was informed she had to go to the boss’s office. She had been working so hard to support herself and her family, and now she was about to be punished.
She made an effort to prepare herself for the worst as she made her way to the workplace.
However, when she arrived, the administrator simply congratulated her on her new child and informed her that she had been promoted to a higher-paying position in the system.
Tami felt relieved and ecstatic. The administrator was honored and went home to tell her husband the good news.
The woman was pleasantly surprised by the director’s raise because she had been concerned that her pregnancy would result in losing her job.
He informed her that she would keep her career and be given financial support for the first six months of her maternity leave. This gave her a great deal of relief and increased her sense of optimism for the future.
