How long did it take you to get a promotion at work?

[Emmaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I finally got mine! From secretary to law assistant (with some secretary duties still lol). It took a long time with lots of hard work and iniative but I did it! 😊🥳 I'd like to thank my family and friends for their support and of course my boss who made the decision to promote me LOL

Where I work there is no such thing as promotions. If there is a vacancy in the department, you have to apply for the position. Complete with resume, testing and interview. being a good worker doesn't count for anything unfortunately. We have a lot of unqualified people doing jobs that are way beyond their capabilities. Bullshit baffles brains.

[Emmaaaaaaaaaaaa]

That doesn't sound right lol so loyal and good workers don't even get a slightly better chance to get a better position?

[Darkest-Knight]

No. I blame the union for this. The only way to advance is to jump through the hoops of HR/Upper Management.

[Emmaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Sounds difficult sorry to hear

I got my first promotion after a few years in my position. Good for you and congratulations! I wish you luck and continued success.

[Emmaaaaaaaaaaaa]

That's awesome! And aw thanks so much!

[Friendlybro79]

You're welcome. I hope you're celebrating.

[Emmaaaaaaaaaaaa]

My last job I worked at for 16 years and never got promoted. When i was in sales I got regular promotions until finally I waas part owner of the company.

[OlderAndWiser]

That is a position with much responsibility, and particularly at your age, that is quite an accomplishment. Congratulations!

My first after-college job promotion it was a year after my performance review along with a 10% raise. They started to realize how good I was going to be

[MementoMori777]

Congrats Emma, sounds like quite an accomplishment 💯🥂

[OfMiceandMen]

Hmmm... my partner and I started-up the company and have 26 employees now, so it's been 25 years ago when I started. It sucks, I don't see any room for advancement!🤷‍♂️

In my own business I'm the CEO, CFO and everything else so can't get promoted

In my restaurant day I got promoted from washer upper to sous chef in a month, real baptism of fire that was starting out on Valentine's Day

Congratulations. It is rewarding to have your work recognized. Enjoy your new role.
