Tammy Tuff is an excellent administrative assistant in my office. She does an outstanding job with all assignment and performs beyond standards for an administrative assistant in everything she does. She completes her assignments in half the time of other aides and voluntarily assumes extra duties after finishing her assignments. In addition to her outstanding performance, Ms. Tuff has improved morale in the office since she started nine months ago. She always has a smile on her face and brightens the day for co-workers with her pleasant disposition. Best of all, she makes others feel important, and this has carried over to their work. Everyone seems to take pride in their work; consequently, performance and productivity are up. Due to Tammy's influence, the turnover rate is zero, leaving with no promotion potential in this office. Based on Tammy's excellent performance, skills that exceed the requirements of the job, and attitude that has improved morale, I feel that Tammy deserves to be paid as a senior assistant even though she is not one and the is no senior assistant vacancy. Thanks
