I can't believe that I have been away for more than 2 weeks... gosh, time really flies. However, I wish I had fun during the time I was away from mylot. unfortunately I was swamped with work at the office I had trouble sleeping again at night... Do you believe that a promotion usually means your workload will be doubled? sometimes more???

No, that wouldn't be my idea of promotion. Perhaps you need to delegate a bit? Either that, or they're testing out your loyalty to see whether you would give up some of your spare time in order to finish your work. Maybe it will get better? I hope so, for your sake. Brightest Blessings.. hope you can sleep better now.

Thanks for the advise. Maybe it is only temporary that I am overwhelmed. I am trying to delegate a bit now. I have to learn to trust other people that they can do it to be more pro active!!! thanks again

Yes, I think it is probably that you're overwhelmed with the promotion and you perhaps feel a bit more conscientious as you've been stood in the limelight a little more, with the extra responsibilities you've been given. However, the art of delegation is a good one to learn, because it will ease you of the pressure somewhat, and teach others that you are in a higher position, thus gaining you more respect with them. You don't have to be high-handed about it... just treat them as equals, but equals who owe it to you to get certain tasks done, thus enabling you to work on a higher plane. I have the feeling you're going to do very well at this... you have the right attitude and you don't refuse advice. That maketh a good man, and I wouldn't be surprised if you are promoted even further in the near future. Good luck in your future career, and please keep us informed as to your progress. Brightest Blessings.

I do believe that, do you believe that my husband got a promotion about 6 months ago and was told he would get the pay rise later and never did. How crap is that??? I told him to ask for the money and if they don't give it he should find something else. Why should he work more for no extra money?? Who else thinks this is crap??

Unfortunately it never came. Instead they told him that he had to do more duties and have less money. He is in the process of looking for another job.
