ang promotion... bow

I got promoted last month from IRA to Internet Research Associate Team Lead. I would rather not be a Team Leader though had i known that there would just be a whole lot more work load with no additional pay at all. Honestly, it's a lot more difficult dealing with people, let alone leading them as this connotes - looking after them, guiding them, cleaning up after them... not the kind of job i'd like to be doing. Specially when some of them don't think i'm supposed to be where i am because they feel that they're better. I don't disagree with them but i think we should let other people do the back-patting, don't you think?

And just last week, i got promoted "again" to Classical Marketing Specialist. I've been promoted twice and i'm still in probation. It's supposed to be good news, but the bad news is that i still don't get a pay increase. That is until i become a regular employee, which is about 2 months from now. Faeta! Now the people who in the first place, disagreed to my first promotion are definitely peeved. hehehe But you know what... it's not about being better, it's all about my superiors.

I'm very fortunate and blessed working directly with amazing confident people who acknowledge my work and my potentials. It wouldn't have mattered if i were the best employee to walk the earth if i were invisible to higher management, or if they took credit for my output. Although i do believe that my work is their work, it meant a lot that they considered me.

So i guess... it's not just about what you know... but who you know...
