Title: Motherfucking work
Post by: Cerveza mas fina on May 30, 2013, 12:10:55 PM: Congrats on your promotion Lager.

You will keep you current pay, get the title of the position above you but actually do the work of the position above that again.

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on May 30, 2013, 12:18:22 PM: Looks good on my CV, that part where I actually have to do the work of someone even higher up just came up now. Shit is not gonna stand.

Post by: TakingBackSunday on May 30, 2013, 02:10:10 PM: I'm at a point in my early career where three superiors are trying to breed me to basically do their respective jobs...so in practice I have three areas of tent-pole responsibilities alongside with my actual position responsibilities. I've been working 65 hour weeks the last month or so!

:mindblown

oh well, good money and experience

You mean like get a better job elsewhere? If so, yes. Shame I just turned down an offer though, since I thought this promo would be the shit. But there's more stuff.

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on May 31, 2013, 08:09:19 AM: I never thought about it from that angle, it's very cynical but there must be some truth there.

The silver lining is that since you keep your pay, you are probably eligible for higher pay rises. Eventually you will equalize with others in your pay band (if your company has one).
