Rich's New Job at Noni

Today Rich started a new job at Tahitian Noni. His official title is "Feasibility Analyst." His job is to look at the feasibility of launching new products and purging old products (cost/benefits/savings). In addition, he will be helping with forecasting of sales for new and current products for the company. I don't really get what most of that will require doing on a daily basis but sounds like he will be really busy.
He was approached by his boss a few weeks ago about changing departments and getting a whole new job in the company. He felt like it would be a great opportunity for him so he accepted. He was quite sad to leave his current department (purchasing) because he had made really good friends there and really enjoyed the team he worked with.
Noni has a hiring freeze right now, so there is no pay increase (although Rich says this new job seems like a lot more responsibility and a lot more challenging) so when the freeze is removed hopefully he will get a nice raise. The company didn't even give the annual cost of living raise this year so who knows when to expect it.
He had to move from the 3rd floor to the 2nd and his new boss is going to be out of town alot in the next couple weeks so he will have to try and manage the best he can. It is a smaller dept than his former one and he said its alot quieter.
He is able to still work 4 tens (even though the rest of the team isn't right now). He is excited to learn his new job and I know he will be great at it!!
