No promotion this year :-(

Management are not supporting my promotion bid this year so I fail at the first hurdle. Not too bothered – there are plenty of others earning far less than me who deserve it much more than I do.

What does nark be a bit is the reason given. Apparantly I need to focus more on hitting deadlines and not getting as involved in the technical work.

Errrr…..given that I am the *only* person in the development group that does anything with Unix its difficult to see who I can delegate to. Also, the only deadlines I’ve missed in the last year were due to Suns consultants delivering late – something that the project manager is responsible surely? Who was the project manager? Guess. Hint, he got his promotion a few months back…

Oh well. If the only way I’m going to get more money where I am is by going into management (like we need some more managers) then maybe it is time to move on and get a real job.

Bummer :-(

    Maybe you should just stop doing the Unix work that the manager thinks you should delegate.

    When it all starts going wrong maybe he’ll rethink his comments ;)

    Until then *gives cookies*

    Ta. It’s not the fact that my application wasn’t supported – I expected that and only put my name down as I didn’t have to do anything and I figured it was worth a punt. I am intreagued who I should be delegating to though…

    Send them my way…….I can assure you complete failure, which will only improve your chances :-)

    …or you could delegate on someone in your office…..you know, the “talkative” one :-)

    Buggers me to think that after carrying the email project almost single-handedly, “management” still thinks that you did not do enough…..instead of this &^$%£*$ they should have given you the promotion, a bonus pay AND shown their appreciation (not kidding)

    any spare cookie for meh? :-)
