Advice: Employees are still finding their way — and their voices — in a changed work landscape
between keeping a good job under a terrific boss or accepting a promotion that promised better pay and hours. Instead, the reader found a third solution.The reader had a chance to observe the incumbent in the new position for a few weeks — and learned “her hours were not as protected as mentioned,” the reader said in an email. “There were times when she was pulled from her work to help out with work I wouldn’t want to do at all.
But that still left the cons of the old job, the reader noted: “You really hit a nerve when you pointed out that I was so happy, I was ignoring that I was underpaid.” After discussions with management in which the reader presented an updated résumé and asked “what value they would place on any person with these skills and achievements … I had a pay raise so high that it priced me out of that promotion they were offering.
Six months later, the worker said, “I am happy to report that I still have all the pro’s — I love my work and my boss — and have eliminated most of the con’s [with] better pay and [more] regular hours.” May we all find time during the holidays and months ahead to look at our achievements, focus on what satisfies us and ask for more of what we want and deserve.
