Holy Crap I just got a mini promotion

I've been working on a particular project since I started with my company. It's 95% the source of my frustration but partially because I think the manager is a dipshit. But today they just emailed me and asked if I wanted to take over 50% of her duties (the other 50% will go to another manager). I'm in no way a manager- in fact, in terms of title I have the lowest (I'm a level 2 vs everyone else who is level 3 or greater).

This means less travel. Enough travel to keep me from murdering my family, no so much that I become increasingly familiar with the staff of the various hotels, airports, and car rental desks (shout out to the Hertz desk in Tyler, TX for always hooking me up!)

And I'll be able to angle for a much more significant raise during my annual performance review.

  • Does this mean manager is done-zo?

  • Woohooo!!!  Congrats.

    That's kind of a nice way to help break your funk right?
  • Awesome!  Yes, tell us what you know about the current manager.
  • No, she's moving into a different role. One that I actually think she'll be great at. She just wasn't cut out for the role she was doing on this project.
  • Woohoo, congrulations!  And what good timing; it did seem the traveling was starting to wear on you.

    So...since you might be traveling less...Megatron 2?

    Well, that's a boring explanation.  ;)
  • Kudos!
  • Congrats!  Although less travel means it's even more of a remote chance that I will go to meet a monitor and it'll be PMeg. Wink

  • right now it sounds like more work with no change in title or money. will you be able to transition part of your current responsibilities? hopefully they will compensate accordingly during your next review. 

    good luck!
