re: #50 Nevergiveup

And then maybe you’ll be there to pick up the pieces?

At this point, I’m not taking on any new job duties without a pay increase. This promotion was set 2 weeks after we all took a 5% pay cut and they basically just wanted to load up more duties on me. I knew they probably wouldn’t pick me due to my being in CA vice Virginia, so I played politics and accepted going into the pot for the promtion. I won in my book. Got recognized by senior management, showed willingness to accept responsibilities, etc. Now I figure I’ve strengthened my hand in later contract negotiations and promotions. Already had a couple managers daying they would make it up to me later.
