Not as such an AIBU, but just trying to understand something. I know two people (SIL and Neighbor) who have recently acquired promotions in the CS (one is an SEO - I think ...the other a Grade 7). Prior to getting these promotions they used to talk about how difficult their roles were and how important and snowed under they are.
Now the SEO says she just dials into meetings and takes time out for leisure activities in the day and noone questions it. She has had to ask for more work as she mainly ends up watching TV or sitting around not doing a lot. The Grade 7 says he manages a handful of people, just does HR related things and has significantly less work.
I don't know how much these salaries attract but they are both pretty good spenders and certainly edging towards a higher tax bracket (from what they've told me). What's the catch here...is this really what it's like? where do I sign up
