EquivalentAd5064's journey

Today, I faced a significant decision at my job as an Order Fulfillment Technician for a company that handles live goods. Due to recent restructuring, the facility where I was stationed closed, and I, along with two other employees, was transferred to the main facility on very short notice. My responsibilities have remained largely the same, but on a larger scale, which has been a bit overwhelming. Recently, the production line supervisor I worked closely with resigned unexpectedly, leaving a crucial position vacant. The facility manager approached me and asked if I could take over some of the supervisor's responsibilities, particularly ordering 'hardgoods' for higher-value customer orders. It felt more like an order than a request, and I found myself in a dilemma. Given my past experience ordering plants from the main facility, I feel somewhat qualified, but I’m hesitant. I’m considering whether it would be reasonable to apply for the now-open supervisor position. However, I'm worried that declining the additional responsibility might jeopardize my job security, or if I take it on and don’t perform well, it could have the same effect. I know the supervisor role involves working under pressure, ensuring accurate order completion, and meeting production deadlines, all of which I have experience with. But since I started as a temp and transitioned to full-time, I’m feeling a bit insecure about stepping up. I’m really weighing the risks and benefits of this potential opportunity.
