written in the heat of the moment
The straw that broke the camel’s geek’s back
Just found out that despite assurances for the past few weeks that my promotion from mid-January would be announced (finally!) two weeks ago today with the title I’d been pushing for (Development Manager), TPTB at work are apparently no closer to an announcement today, two weeks later, than they were then. Further, the title of Development Manager is now, apparently, being removed from consideration because “it would put [me] above” the other two non-managerial team members.
This despite the fact that I’m the one everyone comes to for answers when my boss is out.
This despite the fact that the one or two new people we’re about to hire will be reporting to me.
This despite the fact that this question had been resolved weeks and weeks ago.
But what do I know? Clearly, not how to pick a winning situation.
I’m angry, hurt, and betrayed. At every turn, it seems, the company finds new ways to fuck me. And I’m getting shitty pay while I’m here, doing the stuff that needs to be done and being a fount of strength and stability amidst the dysfunctional chaos, getting my ass up at o’dark early five to seven days a week to do content updates.
Why exactly am I still here?
If anybody has any job leads, feel free to send ‘em my way.
That really sucks! I hope they give you your promotion soon and that they realize how hard you’ve been working!
One of ” the other two non-managerial team members” picked today to resign. I just found out he got a better job across town.
Strange, coincidental timing.
Not sure what this means for me, though.
More work, probably.
why be the manager when you can laugh at the manager?
Refuse to do it. Tell them they don’t pay you enough to do two people’s work. If they are going to be dicks, maybe they should see what it’s like when they get what they pay for.
