That today I have been promoted, given a 10%raise and a bonus coming my way!!!

After coming back from 5 year break to have kids in 2022, I pushed myself every step of the way and today been told i have been appreciated for my hard work and it us all finally paying off!!

Every time i drop my children at nursery and school, i miss them and struggled with mum guilt both times but telling myself its also for their own well being.

At work, I always get this Imposter syndrome everytime i get appreciated but here is a proof that words are not just words!! Its not much in terms of money for peers maybe but this is huge for me!!

I am so happy that I am shaking!!!

I am sharing this here because I think this is unique in a way only you guys can fully understand ❤️

Congratulations OP! I hope this raise has made you realise how great you are and that you’re clearly an asset to the company. I hope you demand a bigger pay rise next year as well after this lovely boost of confidence 🙂

Thank you!

@AnnPerkins small company branch of about 35 people, this was my first pay review since I joined! So I suppose it was long overdue but did not expect/expected just bare minimum but they surprised me!

In that case I'm glad they're doing the decent thing now!

That's lovely, congratulations!

frequentlyfrazzled · 15/04/2024 17:58

I love this - congrats OP! So many women like you are quietly doing their thing in the background and don't get the recognition or pay they deserve, so it is fantastic that you got both! It must feel great to have that validation. Well done you!

Brilliant - congratulations !

I know how much this means as I re-trained for a new career then had to take four years out when my son was 8 due to his SEN - I went back last year and this week I also got a promotion and a pay rise. Phew!! Still got it 🤣
