I worked pretty hard at getting promoted at my last job which unfortunately didn't happen. In the end I did the cost/benefit analysis of the amount of extra work I was doing compared to the 15% raise that I would get from being promoted.
In the end I moved companies and got a raise of about 35%. I'm back to doing the same amount of work I was doing before I tried to get promoted.
- bluefirebrand 5y agoThis is honestly a really big sickness within our industry and it seems to be everywhere. I don't think I will ever work towards a promotion again.
- deltaonefour 5y agoWorking towards a promotion is not just about productivity. You have to display leadership qualities. But here's the key. Not all managers want leaders. It an be viewed as a threat. When the time is right, you can show off your leadership skills.
- alfalfasprout 5y agoDon't forget politics. You can display leadership qualities all you want but politics play into whether your project will ultimately suceeed, be deprioritized, and who gets credit for what.
