I got promoted today

[Changeduser123]

Anonymous as I can't tell anyone IRL yet (have told my DP!) as HR need to send the letter and process it on the system.

I got promoted today. I'm now a Director. I'm 38, female with 2 young children (8 & 6). I work 4 days pw but am on call on the 5th day - this working pattern has been in place since I started.

Feels like going back full-time when DC1 was 9 months old and working like a trojan through my 2nd pregnancy during lockdown right up to giving birth and all the years since then while most of my "Mum friends" went very part-time has finally paid off!

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Hopefully you can celebrate properly this weekend!

Congratulations, how exciting! 👏

Congratulations!

Congratulations. Enjoy the feeling!

Congratulations!
Wishing you the very best in your new role x

Well done huge achievement.

Good for you! Your efforts have paid off!

Congratulations!

Well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Woo hoo. Huge congratulations and I'm sure very well deserved.

This is very inspirational that you achieved so much with young children and at such a young age! You should be very proud of yourself because you had every ready excuse not to push yourself and you did it anyway ❤️

Congratulations!

Thank you.

I cannot tell you how many times I was jealous of my friends working part-time or staying at home and worrying I was missing so much of my children and wondering if I was making the right choices.

It has been impossibly hard at times. Although I would have been a terrible SAHP so that would have been much harder for me. I really admire parents who manage to look after young children 24/7.

Well done OP.

It's really good to hear that all your hard work has paid off.

All best wishes to you in your new role.

It has only really been possible by having a partner who also works 4 days pw and therefore splitting house and parenting pretty much 50/50.

We have a cleaner, a dog walker and someone who cuts the lawn. No grandparents/family help so have to use after school club and holiday club.

Well done you! You should be really proud..

Congratulations @Changeduser123 🥳
What a huge achievement, well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

Well done. If you're like me you will just start thinking "what's next"?! Onward and upward!

Haha. That's totally me. Need to relax and enjoy it for a bit first. My actual role isn't going to change that much, it's more a recognition of my remit having grown over the last few months years.

Massive congratulations to u OP

Congratulations, so happy for you!
