I’ve had sort of a weird zombie promotion since the beginning of the year. I was in the role and doing the work, but no title, not able to tell anyone I had the position officially, and no official pay increase (I had a bump to the pay packet, but not the full bump as it turns out). Got the Senior Insurance Advisor title yesterday, signed and returned the contract, and also have the 18.5% pay increase which is retroactive to Jan 1. The next paycheque willl be a bit fatter, alright.
Feeling good, especially since I had a year less at the company than the required five years of experience they wanted for the new role, and I beat out other Insurance Advisors with more than twenty years in.
Nice that you are being recognized for your excellent work and stability within that company. I like that new job title as well.
I’m called a Shipper/ Receiver Clerk at my shipping company. That’s the title you are given when you aren’t really good at anything…but they have to call your position something.
Go out for dinner! Celebrate with your wife and Squirrelette!
