That would work in an normal company. Ive been with this one for five years, being the best at every position they put me in - mostly because I type fast enough that if I screw up I can fix it before they notice. But in five years the only promotions I have seen are for people that are in the big bosses inner circle (play golf with him every weekend and drive a BMW), or have played the race card (as horrible as that sounds it is the only reason two of my bosses have gotten their jobs, and they admitted it).gtmtnbiker wrote:This is how you get promoted. When you show that you exceed doing the work of your current job. Most companies that I work at want you to do the work of the next level before you get promoted.
Case in point, we are on a ticketing system now. One of my coworkers (they sycophantic one), bitched to the boss that I was making her do more work than everyone else (we have a color code on emails coming to a group inbox, if it is something someone was working on, we code it in their color - apparently this is a bad idea). So the boss lady secretly told her to color everything in my color to "see how he likes it," and told me I have to work whatever is in my color. Well after a week of doing this the big brass noticed that out of the 300 tickets a day my team makes, I was making 170ish of them, the coworker made around 4. So this lead to me having a sitdown about doing too much work and making her and the rest of the team look bad to the brass. The main reason I am still with the company is that I am moving in the near future and the company has an office in the town I am moving too and if I can get in that department I can skate along for a bit.
Thanks Key-Glyph - Im hoping it works out.

Called into work this morning, had the most insane diarrhea ever. Finally think I'm okay at 5pm... lol.
