An opening has come up at work for a role that my manger told me I could easily step in to as they’ve been really impressed with how I’m working. She had to put it to a board meeting first because they’re the ones who make the final decisions. Now she’s come back to me to tell me that they’ve decided that, because I’m too good at what I’m doing now, they won’t give me the promotion. She then had the cheek to say I should take it as a compliment.
How does that make any sense!? Looks like I’m slowing right down now, I’ve had enough of going above and beyond.
