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?
I don’t understand why people strive for it. 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? Thanks for any advice/insight.
