Blah. Just blah.
I'm sure there is a thread similar to what I am about to say, so apologies up front. I did look. I did use the search function.
Okay.
*ahem*
I want to be young and pretty and make my boss drool so I can get promotions and raises even when no one else has been promoted based on company finances.
The company has actually hit the other end of this deep recession and is now hiring again. Thinking we'd get qualified help for positions that require experience, I found out that a young pretty girl was just put into a position she has no experience in, doing exactly what I'm doing. As well, her title reflects what the title I have horizontally requested the past year+. Horizontally as in not asking to be promoted but asking at the very least for a title change to more accurately reflect what the heck I do. No was the answer, with the added bit that when money was available, he (the boss) wanted the title change to come with a promotion. Well money became available and he promoted the young pretty girl into a position that had opened up. So, okay. Then another promotion. I asked about the obvious availability of money and got the response 'she's a smart girl, I don't want to lose her'. Me thinking, 'but you don't mind losing me', which is where I'm headed, although I'm having trouble finding another position since I want to move out of the NoVA area (where I've lived for over 16 years).
Fast forward to today. Me with my old title although I do three different jobs, have increased revenue/profit and 'traffic', she with 'my' title and no crucial experience. There will be learning curve. I hope she can learn on her own, because I'm done teaching.
I'm actually going to address what happened today with 'the boss', but am sleeping on it to know what I want to address coherent and respectfully.
Now would be the time to ask for the sky, so I get at least a little ... or be ready to walk ..
Any advice or comments?
Tx.
