To want to raise this with management/leave?

[laura6767]

Ive been with my company for 5 years now. I want to progress to the next rung of the ladder. I have been encouraged by my boss to apply in the last round and the round coming up.
However, this promotion comes with a title change but no other benefits. It would mean more work, including more meetings and supervising of colleagues. There would be no reduction in my existing work load.
They acknowledge that we are all over worked and underpaid as it is. They are promising to try and fix this, but we will see.
I am already unmotivated and demorolised by my current work situation. I would surely be making it worse for myself if I got this promotion?
If things were different and we got something for it, I would.
is this something I should bring up with management? I don’t want to be a complainer or upset the apple cart. Are my concerns reasonable? I’m unsure as some other people seem quite keen on the promotion! Makes me think I am missing something.
Would this be a valid reason to leave? or am I just being negative? Thanks for any advice/insight.

Just leave. No point being miserable

It’s a promotion but only a title change? No salary increase?

Start applying for jobs elsewhere.

No salary increase? That's ridiculous, that's not a promotion, that's being used.

A title change is a title change - not a promotion. Don’t accept this.

I worked in a school.

This was common but people would accept it as the next step up did have more money.

If you wanted to move into management it was the only way.

Depends on what you want really. Will it help you in future career progression, and are you interested in moving up? If so, may be worth sucking it up for a while. I turned down a 'promotion' like this some years ago, because it was not worth it to me and did not fit with my personal goals. But several of my colleagues took it up and have gone on to more senior positions elsewhere.
