One Step Closer to a Raise
(November 22, 2005)
My boss called me into her office yesterday to tell me that she was giving me a promotion. We talked about it for a while and then she asked me to write out my duties so that she could submit it for approval. Apparently I still have to wait for them to agree to reclassify me. She also said that she didn't know if the reclassification would give me a pay raise. That seriously blows. Why give me all this added responsibility if you aren't going to pay me for it? She also talked to me about how I should not be chit chatty with the coworkers (the other AAs) so that they can accept me in this pseudo supervisor role. I agreed with her on that. I've never been accepted into their little clique so we have always kept our distance. I wonder how they'll treat me now? At best they were pleasant when they needed something from me. It didn't matter much because I'm there to work. I look for friendship on my own dime. The one AA who gets under my skin is going to be a challenge. Hopefully my boss can keep her at bay. I will find out within the next two weeks, so keep your fingers crossed. If it's a yes then a start my new role December 12th. Oh joy, oh rapture. All I can say is that they'd better pay me more....

A promotion without a raise is like totally useless! You must insist on a raise on par with your new responsibilities! Peace!

On another note, though, congratulations. :D
